With the financial crisis and the increasing prices of overseas vacation travel, more and more Australian families are going back to the basics – camping. It has become one of the most popular forms of family bonding and holiday in Australia.
There’s no denying that having an outdoor camping adventure is exciting and enjoyable. You’re out in the wild, one with nature, and spending a good time by yourself or with a few friends or family members. But just because you don’t have access to the usual amenities and technologies at home doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your comfort and security too. This is where Australian tents come in.
When going for the ultimate outdoor adventure, having a reliable and sturdy tent goes a long way. It protects you from the harsh elements in the wild, and gives you a place to stay in during the day and night. And since it’ll be your home away from home, investing in a well-built tent is a wise idea.
Basically, Australian tents come in different sizes that correspond to their capacity, or the number of people they can house. There are tents that are perfect for accommodating one or two persons, and they are lightweight and usually easy to assemble. If you’re planning a camping trip with your spouse, then going for this kind of tent is your choice.
There are also tents that can fit three persons and more. These are larger tents that come in many shapes and styles. Aside from the basic dome shape, they also come in a marquee dome style. Although this is a perfect choice of tent for a family or a group of friends, keep in mind that these tents call for more time to assemble.
Another type of Australian tents is the swag. Swags are typically designed for one camper, but double swags are also available. These are more like sleeping bags instead of tents. But whatever type of tent you choose; there are some things you have to keep in mind before purchasing one.
Above anything else, always choose a tent that caters to your camping needs. Also, the size of tent you get should be able to accommodate the number of people you want to take with you on the camping trip. Some camping tents can fit up to 12 people, and this will do perfect as base camps especially for long treks.
Pay attention to quality. Never hold back in investing for quality Australian tents. After all, you are in the wild, so you have to make sure that you are well protected from the elements. Also, a good camping tent will give you a good night’s sleep as opposed to sleeping on a soaked sleeping bag.
Further, be sure to get a camping tent with a fly or rainfly. This is a custom-made waterproof cover that keeps the rain from getting in your tent without stifling ventilation. It also provides added protection just in case it rains during your camping trip.

In addition to a fishing pole, tackle box, fishing net, and cooler to store the fish you catch in, you will also need clothing that is appropriate when on the water. Websites that specialize in the sport have full lines of clothing that you can use on the boat or when wading in the water. Clothing appropriate for fishing includes rain wear, waterproof jackets, shells, pants, bibs, and much more. If you are fly fishing, for example, you may want to wade into the water in order to have more control over your flies and fishing line. Wading into the water in regular pants is not practical. But if you wear waterproof pants over other pants, then you will be able to spend hours in the water catching fish. For many fishermen, the waters they choose to fish in are constantly moving and splashing against rocks and other items. Wearing protective clothing can help reduce the risk of walking around in wet clothing all day. Many fishermen also prefer fishing after a rainstorm. This means that the boat, grassy areas, and your equipment may be wet. Wearing a rain jacket is a great way to stay dry and protect yourself if its starts to rain while you are on the boat. Protecting your clothing will also help keep you from getting sick while on a fishing trip. Before you go away on your next fishing adventure, you should create a list of equipment, gear, and other items you will need, especially if you are going for a week or more. A list will remind you not to forget anything. Your list should include items needed for your tackle box, extra fishing line, backup fishing pole, nets, coolers, clothing, first aid kit, bug repellent, and anything else you may need. While you can always stop on the way to your fishing spot, you can save a lot of time by buying the items you need in advance. Shopping online for lures, clothing, and other items is a good way to save time. Many fishing sites include descriptions of all the items they offer so you will know exactly what you are ordering. There are also pictures for you to look at. Ordering fishing equipment online is easy and makes planning for a trip more convenient. Even if you are not going on a trip yet, making sure your tackle box is full is important. Shopping online is a good way to see all the new products that are available and a way for you to find the ones that are no longer sold in stores. When buying new equipment, buy in bulk so you can save money on shipping and handling costs. Items are shipped within a few days of placing your order.

Camping trips are supposed to be fun, relaxing, and worthwhile. They provide great opportunities for bonding with your family or friends, enjoying the glorious beauty of nature, and doing exhilarating outdoor activities that you are not normally able to do. However, this kind of vacation can turn into a disaster if you do not plan it the right way or when blunders come along. To ensure that you have a worry-free camping vacation, here are excellent tips to remember. 1. Bring all the essentialsThe obvious things you need to bring for the trip include tent, sleeping bag, food, water, clothing, and toiletries. Other items that are equally important that you might miss are large camping chairs (for utmost comfort), Coleman tables and chairs, campsite reservation documents, first aid kit, fire starters, map, compass, axe, rope, rain gear, rechargeable lights, batteries, whistle, tent pegs, toilet paper, board games, cards, camera, binoculars, flashlight, cell phone, energy bars, water purification tablets, sunscreen, and insect repellent. To make packing stress-free, create a checklist that you can use to check if you have packed everything you need for the trip. Moreover, organize all the items in such a way that those you need more frequently would be easily accessible. This way, you will not have to dig through all your things whenever you need to get something from your pack. 2. Prepare for bad weatherA major cause for concern is the weather. Even if weather forecast tells you that the day will be sunny and bright, it is still possible for rain and storm to occur. This is why, it is imperative to be prepared for the rain by having handy plastic and Ziploc bags that you can use to waterproof all valuable items especially those that can be damaged by water like cell phone, camera, and so on. Also, prepare raingear like raincoats and poncho to keep yourself dry in case it starts to rain. 3. Always keep an eye on the kidsWith the kids roaming and running around, anybody can get hurt anytime. Because of this, you need to keep a close look on your children to ensure that no accidents come their way. If you need to do something, have another adult take over in supervising them. If they are going for a swim or hike, make sure that there will be an adult that will guide them. Even if they know how to swim, have them wear flotation devices and never let them swim alone. 4. Safety first at all timesAside from the mentioned tips above, you can increase safety even further by tucking food away every after each meal. This is to avoid attracting bears, raccoons, and other creatures into your campsite. It is also a good idea not to put up a campfire and to use a lantern at night instead. Going on a camping trip should be a relaxing time for you. With proper planning and preparation, you would not have anything to worry about. Enjoy, relax, and have fun!

1 – The Right Tent
While this may seem like a no brainer, not all tents are equal and it is imperative that you select a tent that matches the weather conditions and terrain in which you plan to camp. If you are packing in to your site on foot, you should bring a lightweight tent that is easy to assemble. In addition, if you are camping in wet weather, you should make sure that your tent is waterproof.
2 – Sleeping Bag
Again, not all camping equipment is equal and it is important that you choose camping equipment that can stand up to the weather conditions you expect to meet on your trip. If you are camping in winter, you would be wise to get a sleeping back that can handle temperatures below freezing, just in case.
3 – Bug Repellent
During the summertime, certain geographical regions become hotbeds of mosquito and other insect activity. Pack a good bug spray in order to ensure that you are free from insect harassment on your trip. Environmentally friendly bug repellent is now available that will not harm the atmosphere and you would be wise to select this eco-friendly spray if possible.
4 – Sunscreen
Nothing kills the good vibes of a camping trip more than a bad sunburn. Pack more than tanning lotion if you want to protect your skin from harmful rays and burns while hiking, swimming and relaxing in the sun.
5 – First Aid Kit
Accidents happen and since camping trips tend to take place off the beaten path, you would be wise to bring your own first aid kit with you on your next trip. Everything you need to treat minor cuts, scrapes and bruises should be included in such kits, which are available at reasonable prices in most drugstores.
6 – Flashlight
Should you hear a rustling in the middle of the night, you will thank your lucky stars you brought a flashlight to check out the perimeter of your campground. Enough said.
7 – Bottled Water
Staying hydrated is of the utmost importance when enjoying the rustic outdoors, which leave you exposed to the elements a good deal more than usual. Bring plenty of bottled water with you and drink it throughout the day, particularly when hiking or engaged in other strenuous physical activities.
8 – Be Natural Nut Bars
Keep your energy up and your tastebuds happy by packing Be Natural Nut Bars in your camping rucksack. Take them with you on hikes or enjoy them as a snack around the campground. Nut bars are packed with natural and delicious ingredients that will feed your body exactly what it needs to perform at optimal levels in the great outdoors.
9 – Appropriate Fire Source
If you bring matches on your camping trip, make sure that they are waterproof for maximum effectiveness. If you are bringing a lighter, make sure that it is has plenty of fuel. If you are bringing a flint, make sure you know exactly how to use it prior to arriving at your campground.
10 – Layers of Clothing
Weather can change quickly at different times of the day and you do not want to be caught out in the cold without proper attire. Fleece jackets, long sleeved and short sleeved shirts should all be brought with you on your trip.

Let’s say you were lost in the backcountry and you could only choose one item to increase your chance of survival, what would it be. . . GPS? map? compass? matches? knife? emergency blanket? survival manual? The list is endless, and while all those things can improve your odds, there is one item most of us never think about, it’s a Trip Plan. The best part is, unlike all that survival gear, it doesn’t add any weight to your pack.
Pilots call them “Flight Plans”, backcountry canoeists call them “Float Plans” and backpackers call them “Hike Plans”, but whatever you call them, a Trip Plan can add an element of safety to your outdoor adventures by giving your potential rescuers a time and place to start looking for you if you don’t arrive at your destination.
Whether it’s a full on backcountry expedition, or an hour long hike, a trip plan may be your most important survival tool. Think of it like an insurance policy, it only pays out when something goes wrong.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say that as long as you fill out a trip plan you can head off on an outdoor adventure totally unprepared, on the contrary. Completing a trip plan should be one of your first steps in getting prepared. Remember that electronic gadgets like a GPS can fail for any number of reasons, and nothing in your survival kit will get you out of the woods if you can’t walk because of an injury. It can be as simple as telling a friend or family member that you are heading out for a hike, what time you expect to return, and where you are starting from. Actually, that is the bare minimum you should do before heading out on any trip.
The longer or more complex the trip, the more information you should include. A trip plan for a week long backcountry canoe trip should outline your departure and arrival information (dates, times, and locations), what equipment you are carrying, the colour of your tents and canoes, as well as names and emergency contact information for members of your group, and any medical conditions (allergies, heart conditions, bad knees, etc. ), plus your vehicle description and licence plate number. It should also contain your planned route of travel, and at least one alternate route you may take if you need to cut the trip short for any reason.
Once you have filled out your plan, leave a copy with someone you trust to contact authorities if you are overdue. Stick to it as much as possible, your plan won’t help Search and Rescue teams find you if it says you are starting out from Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park, but you changed your mind when you got there and decided to put in at Opeongo Lake instead. They may eventually find you but in the case of a medical emergency the initial time wasted searching the route you listed on your trip plan could mean the difference between a successful rescue and a body recovery.
Below is a link to a Trip Plan you can download and print. Get in the habit of using them for every trip, because just like your PFD, survival kit or the seatbelt in your car, hopefully you will never need it, but if you do it could just save your life.
