By Estelle Larsen


There are a lot of activities that you can do to make your weekend a productive one. You can clean your house or your car. You can also do other hobbies that are meaningful instead of just sitting around and watching TV all day.

You may find an outdoor activity to be fun. For this, you can enjoy camping in The Berkshires for the weekend. There are several tips that you can make use of when you decide to do such activity this weekend.

All the essential gears needed for your outdoor adventure should be purchased. Items are necessary for this such as a tent, sleeping bag, and backpack, among others. You can inquire about recommended items from salespersons. Extra tent poles may need to be purchased. You should test the tent by trying it at home. A safety kit should not be forgotten in case an emergency occurs.

These items will have to be prepared the night before your trip. A checklist can be made to help you ensure that all necessary things are packed for this trip. You definitely do not want something to be forgotten which could make you feel uncomfortable during the whole trip.

You should be wearing the appropriate attire. You should be wearing clean clothes. You need to wear thin clothes to keep you fresh as well as cool during the summer time. On a different note, you need to wear thicker ones to protect your body from freezing the harsh cold of the rainy season.

You have to set camp before it gets dark. This way, it will be easier for you to make sure that the place where you will eat, relax, and sleep will be comfortable. It will also be easier for you to spot dangerous areas, plants, and animals that could pose great dangers for you and your companions.

You should remember to keep yourself and your companions safe. You need to avoid poisonous plants that are teeming in isolate areas. It is certainly okay to become primitive men but you should remember that your safety is important. During the night, you may need to apply insect repellant lotions so that you will not be bitten by mosquitoes while you sleep.

You should not wander too far away. It is understandable that you would like to roam around and discover other areas other than your camp. However, if you are really that curious, you may need to let another camper accompany you. You may also have to bring with you several gadgets such as a GPS system, a compass, or a map to help you find your way back.

Once your weekend adventure is done, all your things should be packed and brought back home. During these times, you can also make use of a checklist. Aside from that, the area that you used should also be cleaned. Garbage should be thrown in trash cans so that nature can be preserved. Fire, which was set up for food to be cooked or keep yourself warm, should be put out so that wildfire will not destroy the area.
