My dad is one of 14 kids (yes 14!) and his parents – my grandparents – didn’t have money to go out-of-state for family vacations. They made their fun, family memories by going camping throughout Michigan. My grandpa said that for every family camping trip, either he or my grandma spent at least one day at that town’s doctor because someone was injured. Having nine rambunctious boys in a row, it was hard to keep all of them out of trouble and harms way. There are things you can do to make your camping vacation a safe, fun and memorable one.

Do’s

Do reserve your campsite a head of time Do check the weather ahead of time Do bring extra clothes and warm clothes for night Do bring extra matches Do keep garbage and debris away from the campfire diameter at least 10’ Do make sure ashes are cool before leaving a campfire unattended Do have water available to extinguish a fire if needed Do be aware of noise levels (kids, animals and talking at night) Do keep your dog on a leash and away from beach areas (most prohibit animals at the beach)

Don’ts

Don’t set up your tent in the dark Don’t leave your campfire unattended Don’t forget your first aid kit Don’t let your kids run around other campsites Don’t ignore campground rules Don’t leave your garbage out at night Don’t bring firewood in from another location

Write it Out

Making a list is as important for me when I go on vacation as it is to make the reservation. It helps keep me organized so I can better plan my time. The following is a checklist primarily for tent camping. If you camp with a pop up or RV, you can store these items and replenish each time you camp. This list is similar to what I use to prepare before heading into the wilderness:

Air Mattress

Air Pump, preferably rechargeable

Camera

Lantern

Flashlight (one per person)

Extra batteries

Extra propane (for stove and lantern)

Can opener

Coffee Pot

Cooler

Dish Soap

Dish Towels

Dishes

Extra Blankets

Fishing Equipment (rods,tackle)

Folding Chairs (one per person)

Hammer

Hatchet

Insect Repellent

Napkins

Paper Towels

Pillows

Plastic Utensils

Pocket Knife

Ponchos (one per person)

Pots and Pans

Rope

Sleeping Bags

Stove

Swim Suits

Sunscreen

Tablecloth

Tarps (one for under and one for over the tent)

Tent

Toilet Paper

Toiletries

Towels

Waterproof Matches

Swim Floaties

Beach umbrella

Radio and music

Stroller

Family Fun

If you are camping with kids, it is important to have a variety of activities to keep them active and occupied. These ideas for games and sporting equipment can be fun for all ages, and can provide a great opportunity to get some activity and bond as a family.

Bikes

Frisbee

Corn Hole

Ladder Toss

Hacky Sack

Beach toys

Volleyball

Baseballs/Softballs, gloves and bats

Soccer ball

Basketball

Playing cards

Board games

My husband and I have a love for camping and have been to many campsites throughout our time together. This is a family tradition we hope to share with our kids growing up and make wonderful memories.

Is the rule of 3 true?

The rule may sometimes be useful in determining the order of priority when in a life-threatening situation, and is a generalization (or rule of thumb), not scientifically accurate.

Rules of thumb for survival in the wild

Training in use of a liferaft – the rule will apply when exposed at sea In survival, the rule of threes involves the priorities in order to survive.[1][2][3] The rule, depending on the place where one lives, may allow people to effectively prepare for emergencies[4] and determine decision-making in case of injury or danger posed by the environment.[1]

Rule [ edit ]

Normally, the rule of threes contains the following:

You can survive three minutes without breathable air (unconsciousness), or in icy water. without breathable air (unconsciousness), or in icy water. You can survive three hours in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold). in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold). You can survive three days without drinkable water.

without drinkable water. You can survive three weeks without food.

Each line assumes that the one(s) before it are met. For example, if you have a large quantity of food and water yet are exposed to the environment, then the harsh conditions rule applies. The rule may sometimes be useful in determining the order of priority when in a life-threatening situation, and is a generalization (or rule of thumb), not scientifically accurate.[5] Additional generalizations may be presented with the rule, though they are not considered part of the "Rule of threes" and are also not scientifically accurate. For example, it might be said that it takes a three-second psychological reaction time to make a decision during an emergency,[1] or that an individual can last three months without hope.[6][5][7]
