Camping essentials for summer fun

-
I love camping and I know you guys too. Summer is the only season to enjoy camping and experience forest living. But many people get nervous if they organizing camping first time. So I finally decided to write about camping essentials.

Very first step for camping is identify the place where you want to go? And for how many days you are planning to stay?

There are number of state parks and national parks who providing camping site. Before you plan for your camping do research about the park facilities and surrounded area. Find out park timings, fees and camp site details.

Things you need to carry with you

Most important thing is Water.  You need to carry whole water carat as you required to stay hydrated in summer. Obviously it depends on how many persons are there. Even you required water to make coffee and if you are planning to cook something than also you required water.

Bug spray  is very essential to keep you safe from bugs and mosquito bites. There are many brand in the market and also it comes in unscented and scented form. So it's up to you which one you want to use. I usually use OFF! Family care.





Drinks and Snacks

I don't know about you but I cannot stay hungry 😆😆😆. So I always prefers to carry food and drinks with me. Many of the parks not allow alcohol beverages so make sure while you planning your visit. Take the different flavored sodas, energy drinks like Gateroid or lemonades etc. it's totally your choice. 





Camera

I am sure you don't want to miss clicking these wonderful moments and capture it in you camera. If you are passionate photographer than don't forget to take your tripod stand. And if you are selfie mania than take your selfie stick.

Comfortable footwear 

I really like wearing flip flops but when I go for camping and hiking I prefer wearing shoes. It's safe because it covers whole feet so safe from any injury and very comfortable in walking. Are sure you are not wearing heels or else you will not forget your camping experience life time 😆😆😆😆

Map

In most of the park at the entrance you will get map but if you want you can find map online and get it printed. So it will work as backup if you lost original map. And if you have map ready with you than you can identify the activities to do and how to spend time moving around?

First aid box is very tricky. Many of you have confusion what to carry and what not. I would suggest few basic things you should carry. Check out the list:-
          1. Adhesive Bandages
          2. Cotton 
          3. Pain killers 
          4. Antiseptic wipes or solution
          5. Antibiotic ointment 
          6. Scissor 
          7. Tweezers
          8. Roller bandages 
          9. Adhesive cloth tape
          10. Oral thermometer 




Torch and lantern 

Games

Group games are great option for Spending time with friends and family. You can carry bean bag toss, NFL ball throws etc. Board games are also good for fun.

Friends and family

Oh I forgot to mention to take your family and friends with you. How you can forget them? Camping is really fun when you do in group. As you have large group it will be more fun. You can enjoy camp fires and barbecue parties in the park.

We all know lentils and legumes are great sources of protein and iron. One day on social media one of my friend had posted about iron deficiency. She asked others how they manage the amount of iron intake on a daily basis. Instead of taking supplements, she wanted to include iron-rich food in her daily diet. That's when I decide to share my regular Gujarati Toor Dal recipe. I am born and brought up in Gujarat one of the states in India. Traditionally in my house every day 6 things are prepared for lunch. The lunch menu is like  Roti (Indian Bread), dry vegetable sabzi , Toor Dal, Rice, Salad and Papad. The only variation you will see in the  vegetable sabzi, the rest of the dishes remains the same. Even in my house, I follow the same tradition, but I have cut off on rice and wheat so consume little less than usual. For those who are looking for an iron-rich recipe do try this Gujarati Toor Dal Recipe. Toor Dal (Split Pigeon Pea) Toor Dal is a major source of protein for
