Know before you go camping

I give this article a 4/5 stars because of how well it explains what you will need to bring and what to do if you encounter something, which could harm you.   It also gives you examples of what you could bring to help yourself before you go camping and hints as to what to do to prevent getting hurt.  This article is great for people who are going camping for their very first time.

At the beginning of this article it gives you a statistic of how many people like to go camping not only because they like it but because it also an amazing stress reliever.  After that, they do a sub-heading of what you need to know.   They then give you a basic action plan as to what you will need to bring to be successful and safe in the outdoors.  In this action plan they include everything; food, clothes, first-aid, animals you can encounter.  Some of the things that they ask you too pack aren't things that you would forget to bring when going camping but it gives you a type of clothing and types of food that you can actually eat and wear in the wild.  This article also gives you ideas of where you could go if you wanted to camping.


In my opinion, this article was written very well.  It is like a whole camping checklist made for people who have never gone camping.  I think the author did very well in gathering the information and making this article.  It is also good for experienced campers so that they go back to the basics and make sure they are not forgetting anything.  Criticism wise I think that the author did not have to talk about the basic stuff like bring clothes and food too much.  She should not have to go in depth with things that are common sense.
