Camping for Idiots

As you may know, K, my mom and I went camping in August. Please exuse the tardiness of this post. I'm sure you've been checking daily to see if I post anything about camping.

1. Dress appropriately


Note our model K's totally appropriate khakis. Khakis are always a smart choice for camping in the woods.


Open toe sandals are also good when you are near an open fire ring.



2. Fire is not a toy. Don't spray flammable things into it or build it higher than need be, and always keep a bucket of water nearby.




K demonstrates safe fire building techniques.


3. Rumor has it that dryer sheets repel mosquitoes. If you are camping near a water source (or pretty much anywhere in Western Washington), try tucking a few dryer sheets in your pockets.


4. Things to bring with you: fire wood, matches, newspaper and other fire starters, as well as papertowels or something similar. Not to say that I would ever forget those things...
