Summer is fast approaching, and that can only mean one thing—more outdoorsy things to do.
Sure, the pandemic is still a thing, but if you’re smart about it, it won’t be a problem at all. Take camping, for instance—miles away from any outside human contact, and if you’re there as a single household, bam, you get to enjoy summer with people and Ms. Corona can’t do anything about it!
Instead, however, you will have to worry about things like mosquitoes and the occasional bear wandering to your campsite. Or, you can also, you know, not worry because Bored Panda created a handy dandy list of some of the most essential tips, tricks, hacks, and general know-how about camping.
Check out the list below, vote and comment on the submissions you enjoyed the most, and while you’re at it, why not share some of your camping wisdom with other soon-to-be camping Pandas!

I never trust my AT-AT on ice, no matter the thickness. I’m more comfortable with a Tauntaun for that

Camping tip, you will definitely need more than one headlamp.

I have a 3rd degree burn scar on my foot from stepping in a pile of embers that someone covered with sand. It took almost a year, multiple surgeries, and a lot of pain to heal. DO NOT leave embers anywhere. Always put them out with water.

Beware: depending on the kind of food this can work wonderfully (meat, bread, soup, butter, sturdy vegetables such as peas/cauliflower/beans, grated cheese, etc), acceptable (fresh fruit like berries) or terrible (fresh fruit such as apples/oranges, leafy vegetables, hard cheeses such as Gouda/Emmentaler)

Did not know that about catnip. You might keep the mosquitoes away, and end up with 3 cats on your lap lol

You can minimize your risk of falling on the ice. The Penguin walk helps remind us how to walk on ice.
Keep your weight forward and on your front foot
Keep your arms out by your side to help you balance
Walk flat footed and take short shuffling steps
Wear footwear that provides traction
Step down, not out from curbs
Keep your knees slightly bent
Walk on snow or grass if possible

This is why I stay inside—I don’t need knots to check out a library book.

under Brown Recluse, "Only 10% of bites result in anything more than a small red mark" should be the first point, not the last.

They forgot THE thing: shake your shoes and clothes before putting them on... The only camping trip i had was in Moreton Island, Australia.

Also roll your sleeping bag up after each night. Prevents friends from slithering in your sleeping bag while you're out exploring nature.

I'm just going to add this because it apparently needs to be said: Clean up after yourself! Leave no trace. If you need to use the bathroom and there's no facilities, dig a cat hole and bury it.

Bring Newspaper, and a change of shoes and socks. If your first pair of shoes get wet, put on your backup and stuff the wet pair with newspaper and they will be bone dry in a matter of hours!
