Many folks think about camping during the summer when the days are warm and long. Nevertheless simply because the days are a bit shorter and the weather cooler, don't rule out camping in the fall. Autumn camping has many advantages; fewer folk, less insects, crisp air for hiking, for example. 1 or 2 straightforward steps and you can easily camp late into the year.
Keeping warm in the cool and possible damp weather conditions is the most important. You may obviously need warmer clothes, rain gear and a warm sleeping bag. Something just as critical is where and how you set up your camp site. The weather can change quickly from a crisp bright day to cold and damp extremely fast. Set up your camp site to get ready for wet weather is smart rather than spending time miserable and damp. A few fast and simple steps when you set up your camp will make sure you enjoy your time in the woods.
First look at your campsite and figure out how water may flow into or thru your camp site. Try to set up your tent or camper out of any probable water paths. Remember if a heavy rain hits that road or course you entered by can direct water right to you. Any equipment that you will are storing should also be out of any probable water paths.
If you're in a camp site that has specific areas you are to set up and is at risk of a heavy amount of water run off. Try contacting the camp hosts to switch camp sites if feasible. If you can't change sites you may need to prepare something to steer water away from your site. A fallen tree branch can work well as a temporary damn to direct water the flow.
The next step is to set a rain fly or camping tarpaulin to protect you from the rain. When it rains you have options and areas to stay dry and shield your gear and fire wood from bad weather. It also gives you a place to take off wet jackets and boots so you keep your tent or camper dry.
When setting your tarpaulin attempt to set the tarp to help reflect heat from a camp fire back down to warm you. The tarp should be near the fire as a lean-to defending you from wind making your camp warmer. Just do not to set the rain fly too close to the fire as fabric and plastics will burn.
Simple and speedy steps can make a great difference in your fall camping. Remember, first; review your campsite and plan the layout. Set your camper or tent out of any possible water run-off. Second review where your gear will be stored or set up to prevent bad experiences if the weather turns bad. Third set a rain fly or camping tarp to guard your campsite in case it does rain.
Happy camping!
