Camping In Pennsylvania

Dec 8

Posted by Talon W. Ing in Extreme Sports Articles | No Comments

The next time you go camping in Pennsylvania (PA) there are some things you should consider. When you think of camping and the outdoors most think of Yosemite Yellowstone and large famous parks. Pennsylvania, though not on the top of the list has other attractions that you should be aware of.

Most state parks are open seasonal. Pennsylvania has three state parks that are open year round. These parks include Little Pine, Promised Land, and Ole Bull. Since this location is in the upper northeast, these parks get a taste of all the different seasons.

At Promised Land State Park you can go fishing on the 422 acre Promised Lake, then visit in  the winter and ice fish. There is more to do in the winter then you might think. There is  twenty three miles of snowmobile trails and hundreds of trails for cross country skiing. And  not to worry, you won’t have to pitch a camp tent in the snow and cold, cabins are also available.

Seasonal parks in Pennsylvania have other attractions. Among these seasonal state parks are Parker Dam, Shawnee, Prince Gallitzin, Champan, Gifford Pinchot, Pine Grove Furnace and the large Pymatuning. Tourist and avid campers alike flock to Pymatining State Park. It is one of the most visited parks in Pennsylvania. This maybe due to is vast size of 21, 122 acres and its reservoir that is over 17, 000 acres. Both being some of the biggest Pennsylvania state parks have to offer.

Before any camper voyages to their campsite, they must know the rules and regulations. Pennsylvania parks have textbook rules. These are rules such as no unauthorized fires, this is a for obvious reasons. No alcoholic beverages are allowed at the campsites or the state parks. This may be a bad thing for a few campers, though there are plenty of campsites outside of the state parks where having alcohol is legal. On the up side, the state parks allows pets on premise as long as it is a dog, cat or small caged animal.

Another large attraction for campers is the elk ranges. This is state land that the elk are free to roam and graze about. An elk is much bigger then a deer. A typical male elk can reach a thousand pounds.

Hunting and game options offered on state parks if you have proper paperwork and its the right season. Game animals include grouse, whitetail deer, pheasant and wild turkey. Black bears and coyotes are native to the land. Be sure not to leave out any food around the campsites.

Best Camping Trip Tips

Oct 21

Posted by Talon W. Ing in Extreme Sports Articles | No Comments

I do most of my camping these days with North Texas Adventures which is not a hard core camping group. These days even those who appreciate their home comforts in life can enjoy camping.If you bring a pump up air mattress with sheets, a comforter, and pillows you’ll forget you’re not in your own bed at home!Given how big tents are these days even a queen size mattress does not need to take up the whole tent. 

If you are at a campsite with electricity, consider bringing a fan to plug in which helps beat the heat in your tent.  This comes in handy in the brutal Texas heat.For colder weather camping, bring some good sleeping bags for added warmth. 

With today’s amenities there is no need to “rough it” on a camping trip.  Keep this in mind when you develop your guest list.Even folks that insist they don’t like to camp may enjoy modern day camping that can have much of the comforts of home.

Some of my happiest camping memories are sitting around the fire at night.  This is a great time to relax and tell stories of your adventures from that day, like the time I ran over a rattlesnake on my mountain bike, and my buddy, to avoid the rattlesnake ran his bike straight into a cactus!  Ouch!  Meanwhile you can roast some marshmallows or enjoy a few beers. 

Make sure to bring lots of firewood to burn, as there is nothing worse than having the fire burn out just as the party is getting started.  Fires are so much fun that most campers will even enjoy them in warm weather.I remember waiting for the sun to go down after a 93 degree day so we could light a fire!
One of our favorite night time activities is a good game of Texas Hold’em poker, this is very popular in our DFW Outdoors Club

This can be great for beginners who sometimes are lucky enough to bring the pot home.  This happened with my girlfriend and I was so embarrassed when she won and waved the money around in the air singing “I am the winner!” at the top of her lungs.Fortunately for all of us, her beginner’s luck soon came to an end and it was much quieter at the next game. 

So make sure to bring some games or items for entertainment that appeal to your group. Some of the other items I bring for fun are a football, bean bag toss game, frisbee, fishing poles, a bicycle and of course a deck of cards.

Don’t forget a lanten.You may need it to find your way to your tent after a beginner takes your money at poker!Finally it is important to remember, Don’t mess with Texas!  We take looking after the camp area seriously, what ever state you are in, as we do with our Dallas Fort Worth Hiking Club. Do a good deed and leave the campsite cleaner than you found it.  Do a good walk through to make sure we minimize our footprint on our great state parks and camping area’s.We all appreciate you doing your part.

Thank you for reading this article and I hope these tips help you have a more successful and fun camping trip!

Pick An Environment-friendly Camping Toilet Unit: Do Your Part

Oct 3

Posted by Talon W. Ing in Extreme Sports Articles | No Comments

When going for an outdoor holiday, do take a camping toilet along. It may not give you the comfort of your daily washroom but can still make your holiday hassle-free.Here are some ideas to help you choose a good camping toilet.

You must ensure that it is maximum odor free, waterless, lightweight and compact. There are many portable camping toilets that can be folded up and carried easily with your other gear.It should be compact enough to not be a burden, not require use of water which is not freely available at campsites and of course be odor free.

The best kind of camping toilets are the ones that require the use of disposable bags. Some units also come with pop-up smaller privacy tents that you can set up nearby. Always buy bags from a good manufacturer because while camping out, it is your duty to contribute to maintaining the environment at the campsite.

The bags should be patented to be used for human waste removal. Always look for biodegradable environment-friendly disposable bags though.The toilet paper can also be disposed off inside the bag too.

You must buy a camping toilet from a verified manufacturer on the Internet that offers some guarantee, has a return and privacy policy and can give you a good product.In fact, before you purchase a toilet unit, you can find out if your tent will be placed near the campsite toilet or not. Trudging alone to a campsite toilet in the middle of the night may not be a good idea.

In case you are going for a home-made camping toilet, don’t forget to get cat litter and sawdust that is usually good to check the odor and purchase good quality human waste disposable bags.
