How to learn more about camping can come from many resources, you probably use a few of them already. Here is a list of ways to learn more about camping – How to, what equipment to take, where to go etc.
- An obvious one is to read sbout camping from the internet
- Read books and magazines purchased locally, on your travels or from the internet
- Use road maps, holiday guides, brouchures etc to get a better understanding of your region or interstate you want to travel to.
- DVDs are an excellent source of information. There have been many travel and adventure Australia DVDs been produced.
- Ask the staff at your local camping, boating, fishing, 4WD stores for appropriate information.
- Forums are a great source of information for camping, travelling, camp cooking, fishing, 4wd and much more.
- Camping, 4WD, Caravan & RV Shows are an excellent source. Ask the sales people any questions you may have about products. Best of all you can compare many products quality, prices all in one place.
- My favourite would have to be when you are camping & travelling is walking around the campground, holiday park etc your staying at and seeing what other campers are using. Most campers and travellers love to tell you about their camper, RVetc.
There is many ways to learn about camping and travelling but usually after the intial planning and preparation the best way to learn is to experience it. Happy Camping and Travelling!

What crazy weather we had last weekend, worst storms in many years, rain, hail, extreme wind made it very messy. We went camping, cloudy skies and showers were forecast for the area so we thought we would take the chance on the weather forecasters getting it right for a change. We did some fishing on the Saturday morning and the weather was perfect not too hot or cold.
Guess what happened next , we had intermittent showers Saturday afternoon with a bit of thunder and lightning that went away and some went out fishing again.
That night we had a beautiful campfire going, cooked tea and sat around the campfire till late. Soon after we went to our tents it started to rain again and it rained on and off all night with rumbles of thunder between the rain.
What was suprising is a new tent we had recently purchased the Malamoo 3 second tent we bought from BCF as shown on this You Tube Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JnAQp-IIPo
It did not let any water in under very wet conditions. It’s ideal for one person but is also excellent for a quick overnight stop for 2 people. It actually takes about 10 seconds then peg it down which is still very quick and convenient.
Where we camped has a long dirt road to get in and gets slippery with any rain on it, so we packed up and drove out before we got more rain. The photo shows us driving out through the mud.

When you go camping you need to sort out what food to take, to do this the easiest way is to start by listing how many meals you are going to cater for. For example this long weekend we are going bush camping at the Murray River. We are leaving about 4pm on Friday and leaving before lunch on Monday.
So we will Breakfast for 3 mornings, lunch for 2 days and tea for 3 meals. Then decide what you are going to have for each meal. Here are some examples.
- Breakfast – toast, cereal, eggs and bacon etc
- Lunch – Hamburgers, eagg & bacon muffin, salad roll/sandwich/rollup, pasta, BBQ etc
- Tea – BBQ, camp oven casserole or stew, kebabs, pasta, fish if you can catch one etc
Then write a list of ingredients for every meal, then go through that list and underline or circle the ingredients you already have at home. Pack the items you have marked and purchase everything else on the list and pack them. Cross any items that you double up on when you make your indredients list.
Making this camping food shopping list will make organising a litlle easier and hopefully you will have everything you need for some great meals in the great outdoors. Happy Camping!
