***GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED***
Congratulations to:
#164 Taralyn
Is your family an “outdoors” family? Growing up, my dad definitely was all about the outdoors….camping, fishing, etc. Mom, on the other hand, preferred a comfortable hotel room to a sleeping bag. We did a bit of both as a family and hopefully my husband and I will do the same with our daughter. Of course, we’ll have to borrow everything from my dad or do at on of shopping via Kmart’s Online Camping Section.

We stock up on sunscreen, baby wipes (aka the perfect portable shower), and enough s’mores ingredients to keep us going for our whole camping time plus some extra just in case!
Our family gets “outdoor ready” by putting on lots of bug spray or sunscreen (or both if the situations warrants) and grabs LOTS of water.
The guys are always packing up and getting the boat ready for the camping trips! Fishing tackle,tent,food and first aid kit and sunscreen.

we love camping and go alot and ticks are bad in our area of TN so I worry about ticks from deers as well as mosquitoes , and we get outdoor ready first with bug repelants which I like using the off wipes for and apply sunscreen too. And for supplies in camping to get out door ready I keep a list of things we usually need for camping taped to the inside of both the motorhome & tent so nothing left behind and try to keep those things in one big plastic storage tub for easy access. We are camping all next week so I am doing that very thing this weekend & packing all our coleman goodies now so our vacation is a fun one with things like Camp Chef Popcorn Popper/Light My Fire Grandpa’s Fire Fork my favorite coleman item you just put onto the end of a tree branch for roasting hot dogs or marshmallows which my grandson loves to use, thanks great giveaway of the coleman Lantern

I tend to go overboard when camping! I gather up the tents, usually two coolers full of food and drinks (at least 2!), bugspray, flashlights, tin foil for cooking, a camping coffee pot…. that might be about it! We haven’t gone camping since my son was born, but perhaps we could get out this summer. He’s a year and a half now
Thanks for hosting!

We love to tent camp but the hassle of getting ready can really make it more work than pleasure. So, we have put together a box of all our camping needs … things like salt/pepper, condiments (which don’t need refrigeration), plates, utensils, cloth napkins (love reusable), lanterns, etc. I keep a list in the box so that as we run out of things or think of things we’d like to always have ready, we add it for the next time. Now, whenever we’re in the mood, we grab the box, our tent, sleeping bags … and we’re off.
In order to get outdoor ready we make sure we always have quality sunblock and bug spray packed!

We just recently became “outdoor ready” because our son joined Boy Scouts. They had a father/son campout so off I ran to Academy for the basics … anything added to our supply helps.
The one thing we never forget is sunscreen and secondly I never forget to pack a good book to read.

Making sure the sunscreen in stocked and the camp chairs are ready!
We get outdoor ready in Florida by bringing our all natural bug spray, hiking shoes/boots, sunscreen and hats. We will now have extra precautions in place whenever a campfire is active. On 7/4 our 2 year old tripped backwards in to a campfire on our family vacation and is suffering from severe 2nd and 3rd degree burns to his arm and hand. We will bring spray chalk and have a 15 ft perimeter that is a “kid free” zone from now on. I hope this warning helps another family be even more careful.

Outdoors in what way. To go out doors here you need to have plenty of water so either the pool or water hose. It is waaaaaaaaay to how. But at night bug spray galore the bugs are bad,
