7 Things that Will RUIN Your Camping Trip

[@ecb82]

Another bug tip that has worked for me: Burn coffee beans or grounds. They did this for me in Greece and Turkey to deter wasps but it worked on voracious mosquitoes in Colorado too.

I do always research the area I’m going to for alt routes to get in/out, EM rooms, terrain, etc. If you have to evacuate or is a road closure is good to have that alternate plan and save your Camping trip even before starts. EM rooms are not widely available and you no want to visit them but emergencies strikes to others too that are not prepared, keep that in mind.

Off deet and I suggest off yard off it's good to spray around the area of my campsite

Great list... here's my two cents, for whatever that's worth... (1) For bugs -- I always used a combo of DEET and a screen tent. This year, I bought a Thermacell. Fortunately/unfortunately, there were almost ZERO mosquitos on our camping trip this past week so I couldn't test it out. (2) We camped in Yellowstone in early August... I thought we had plenty of warm blankets and bags, but I was absolutely unprepared for the temperature drops. Absolutely wasn't life-threatening, but that first night definitely felt borderline! We bought a few other clothing layers at the camp store the next day, and I also picked up a portable propane-powered heater after we came home. (3) Rain is the #1 thing that kills my good camping mood. Always invest in a can or two of Scotch Camp Dry spray & use liquid seam-sealer to fix up any spots you notice are leaking in the actual tent body. Finally, ALWAYS pack a cheap plastic tarp (sized to fit your tent) to use as a replacement for a faulty rainfly. (4) Definitely invest in a good sleeping pad or bring a full-sized (or queen size) air mattress if you're car camping. Always bring pillows from home, or, if you need to save space, I highly recommend the Thermarest compressible travel pillow. They're amazing for the size/weight.

if you're car camping and have a powered site bring a couple of fans. They will keep the mosquitos and flies off. Of course the best solution as you mentioned is a screen house. But fans are much better than a fire.

Just had a weekend trip we had to abort due to extreme heat. There was supposed to be a pond to swim in but the drought reduced it to a muddy mess. We stayed the first night but were boondocking so the swimming hole was really needed.

Ah - yeah, that’s a drag! Hopefully you’ll have better luck on the next one.
