With more and more people finding the appeal of spending time in nature, there are plenty of options to do so. Camping, glamping, hiking and backpacking are some. Many campers head outdoors to take a break from their daily routines and modern civilization and to combat stress.
But in order to do so successfully, more campers are trying traditional camping or camping without electricity. This helps them connect more with themselves and with nature, thus a more fulfilling experience.
Here are some essential tips on how to camp without electricity:
Plan your trip carefully
Planning for a traditional campground is different than planning to visit a modern campground, which is why you should take the time to plan everything carefully. With no electricity or amenities, it is essential to make sure you have the necessary gear and equipment for cooking, eating, sleeping, traveling and for hygiene.
You should also do some research on your chosen camping spot: what will the weather be like? Do wild animals frequent the area? Where is the nearest facility in case of an emergency?
Being in the woods is an incredible experience, but it also comes with dangers. It is important that you come prepared.
Plan your meals in advance
Without electricity, storing food, especially perishables, can be challenging. Plan your meals for the duration of your trip and store food in a good cooler. Eat foods that spoil more quickly. Be sure to pack enough snacks to help keep your energy up, especially if you’re going hiking or backpacking.
If you don’t plan on lugging around a water bottle, make sure your campsite has a nearby water supply. Pack a pot to boil water or a water filter.
get ready
Traditional camping is no easy task, but the experience is well worth the little challenges. Without running water and other modern conveniences, you also need to prepare. One of the biggest challenges newbies face is hygiene: showering and having to go to the bathroom, no bathroom.
Do some research on how you can clean up and dump a dumpster in the woods the right way. There are only a few things you need to bring. Pack some water-soluble wipes or tissues and hand sanitizer for a quick cleanup when you need it.
Follow these essential tips on how to camp without electricity and you’ll have your first experience with peace of mind.
