What You Need To Go Camping

August 31st, 2010 | Author: admin

To start off with camping out is going to be somewhat costly as you will have to purchase your camping tents, cooking equipment, sleeping-bags and camping cots. Once you have acquired the main necessities you may enhance your camping accessories over time and even though you will have to pay out at the start for the standard camping gear, when it is well cared for it will give you years of excellent service. You can get used or less expensive brand new equipment if you log on and look for the auction sites like eBay or outdoor camping gear sites which are always having sales. A great tip is to buy your camping items out of season while companies sell these things off quite a bit cheaper. The greatest cost when you first go camping is getting your own tent. When there are two of you a three person tent is an excellent choice since you’ll have extra room for a lot of your other equipment and clothing. One other good type of camping tent is the 6 man tent, it will as a rule have three separate sleeping compartments. This is good for a family group of 4 because the parents can sleep in a single compartment and each of the children will have a separate inner compartment to sleep in without being too far away from their parents. If you have a sizable family or group of people camping then large tents with lots of independent compartments can be obtained. You can find 10, 12 or even 14 person tents, and these huge tents will have 5,6 and 7 compartments. You could also opt for one of the many styles popup campers, though these are quite a bit more expensive. Canvas fabric tents are seen by many campers to be old fashioned however with the latest improvements and concepts the canvas tent is moved bang up-to-date. The thing regarding the canvas tent is that it will far outlast the modern material tents. If you care for and handle the canvas properly you could get 20 or even 30 years of trips and vacations out of your canvas tent. What number of modern-day material tents could you have purchased during this period? Canvas tents usually are a lot more tough than the other type of tents and can stand up to much more punishment, for this reason the military use them. Cabin tents have consistently been very popular with families since they were the first kind of tent to possess distinct chambers and a communal space. The cabin tent is designed for family trips since each family member may have their very own area. The normal layout of cabin tent has a main entrance way which leads right into a living area and then can be sub-divided into independent areas . Cabin tents are often a six person tent for a minimum but can go right up to 12-14 person tents for bigger households or groups. Another necessary item of camping equipment is camping sleeping bags. These come in various sizes and shapes. You can find double sleeping-bags for mum and dad as well as specific girls sleeping bags which are a nice pinkish color and boys sleeping bags with their favorite cartoon character on them; a good brand is Coleman sleeping bags. A good piece of advice is to buy sleeping bag liners. These should help keep your sleeping bag in good shape as well as last longer. You will also require either a sleeping mat or camp cot for extra comfort and also to keep you warm and insulated from the terrain.

Colorado Elk Drop Camps – How They Work

August 31st, 2010 | Author: admin

Colorado elk drop camps are a more affordable alternative to a fully guided elk hunt. The state of Colorado has some of the best elk hunting in the Rocky Mountains. Most Colorado guides and outfitters offer drop camps for their hunters. These are much less expensive than a fully guided elk hunt where you would have a guide with you at all times.

A drop camp is basically where you’re dropped off at the beginning of the hunt and packed out at the end of the hunt. It is usually located in prime elk habitat, with a good source of water and firewood nearby and where you have the freedom to hunt self guided.

Outfitters vary by what they supply for a drop camp but usually most all of your basic needs are provided including such things as tents, lanterns, stove, pots and pans, coffee pot, and a covered latrine. Sometimes they will even supply a map with hot hunting spots clearly marked to increase the odds of seeing elk.

The hunter needs to provide food, sleeping bag and pillow, clothing, personal effects, rifle, ammunition, and drinks other than water. As you can see, hunting in Colorado elk drop camps takes much of the work out of the trip.

Transportation to the camp is usually provided by horse and all of your gear is packed in on horse or mules. For safety, a cell phone is sent for emergencies or if you get an elk and need it packed out. (Packing the elk out is an extra charge)

Colorado elk drop camps are a great, more affordable alternative to a fully guided elk hunt and can increase the odds of success in your favor. Plus, you’ll get the added benefit of hunting in some of the most beautiful country in the Rocky Mountains.

Ready to make that Elk hunting trip in Colorado a reality and not just a dream? Colorado Elk drop camps can be the perfect solution.

And imagine. . . . . . . . what if you could have your very own Colorado Elk guide sharing all his insider tips and secrets with you on how to plan that Elk hunting trip?
