Try Homemade Camping Gear for that Special Touch
 |
How great it will be if you bring homemade camping gear for your camping? There are all kinds of supplies that can be crafted by hand, depending on your expertise as a crafter. First, let's take a look at the basic supplies you'll need for a traditional excursion. A tent is a must, as are sleeping bags. You'll also need toilet tissue, lanterns, matches, a first aid kit, insect repellant, water and food, and a compass. Many people choose to bring more than this, but these are the basics for a safe and fun camping trip.
A tent is the most important accessory for your camping. Can you make a tent yourself? Well, you could, but I wouldn't recommend it. The reason for this is because today's tents are made from high quality, weatherproof material and crafted with factory precision to be ideal in every aspect. If you are excellent with a sewing machine and want to rough it, you could give it a shot, but don't expect miracles. Something you can easily sew on your own with a decent sewing machine is a sleeping bag. It's simply a matter of choosing fabrics and filling, adding the zipper and sewing it all together. You could also sew other blankets and coverings to bring along. If you're going to a cold climate, try making your own fleece vest for extra warmth.
when we are on outdoor adventure like camping it is necessary to have a good insect repellant. Natural insect repellant is a safe way to keep the bugs away without the use of toxic pesticides. Here is an easy and effective repellent recipe you can make and take with you on your trip. It takes two weeks so give yourself plenty of time. First, gather some herbs. Try fragrant herbs like catnip, pennyroyal, spearmint and lavender. Place the herbs in a glass jar and cover completely with apple cider vinegar. Close jar and place in cool, dark location for two weeks. After the two weeks is up, strain into a spray bottle. Now you've got your very own safe and effective bug spray for skin, clothes and equipment.
It is easy to build some camping gear that are important for the funful camping experience. You certainly don't want equipment that can't stand up to the elements or falls apart on you. If you must make your own gear, choose easy projects like the ones suggested in this article and buy the more crucial supplies like your tent, safety equipment and first aid supplies from a trusted outdoor supply store.
