Camping Accessory Information

I wrote an article recently on the fun of going to a remote site and living off what you took with you. Sometimes these remote sites can be public campsites with tested water but others may require you to take water from the river or lake. The problem is you aren’t sure about the safety. In actuality you should have some concerns even if there is a well unless you know it gets tested.
A Katadyn water filter will filter the water for you so you can be sure it is safe. A Katadyn water filter is used by the U.S. military to keep the troops healthy. It sure beats carrying bottled water which is also questionable.

On many occasions it is fun to camp in a remote area away from your car and depend on whatever you brought with you. Some people like to backpack while others want to canoe. The advantage of canoeing is you can carry more goods than you can on a backpack. If you plan on a canoe trip see if you can have someone pick you up so you don’t have to canoe up river. A newer concept is to have a trailer behind your bike and bike to a remote site and do your thing. This works well in Minnesota where we have excellent bike trails.
One thing most trips have in common is a need for a camping tent. The SwissGear Kanderstag works well for these trips since it’s’ weight is fairly low. The nice part is it works well with camping at regular camp sites since it does sleep 4.
