5 Camping Resolutions to Make RIGHT NOW!
WE know! It is tough to talk camping when the temperatures are minus 100 and the weather channels are talking “up a storm” about storms here across Canada, but with Parks Canada opening up their camping reservations NOW, why not stir the motivational pot a bit and set some goals!?

GET LOST OFTEN! Yes – WE mean it!
Go – get lost and love it! We don’t just mean getting off the beaten path and taking the dirt roads either. Although we do think that is also a good idea! Go discover new destinations. Do you camp at the same old same old spots? Yes – they are lovely and easy, but how about making some new memories and start with choosing a new view? There are a plethora of campgrounds across North America all waiting for you to plant yourself around the campfire.
Create that camping bucket list and start scratching it off one by one! And while you are at it, why not start that travel journal for all the new memories you will be making!? Get off the digital, go old school and create something to look back on years later. IF you have kids – get them involved in this keepsake-making.
-
SET ADVENTURE TARGETS.
There’s not much that can compare to the satisfaction of accomplishing a hike or the exhilarating rush from trying a new adventure. While you are busy planning your new destinations to try, have a look at what peaks you can bag, what rivers you can kayak or maybe there’s a nearby ceramics studio where you can get down and dirty learning to make pottery? Some campgrounds even operate their own adventures, have rentals like kayaks and canoes or work with local adventure companies to package memorable adventures!

SLOW DOWN AND STRESS LESS – THE TIME IS NOW!
January weather got you down? Go pre-pack for your camping trips! Not only will you reduce your stress later on, you will also get all fuzzy thinking about your trip. We all know how poor planning and disorganization goes when you are looking to haul your hind end out of town at 5:00 on a Friday! Be better than that! Organize bins of your camping gear so it is sorted for quick grab and go. When that first trip – that seemed like a lifetime away – suddenly appears, you my friend, are ready, armed with a plan and your bins. All you need to do is get your food sorted (see resolution #5!) This resolution helps us to remove some of the frantic, thereby adopting the ideal of “no rush to relax” or so we hope. Create your own customize packing / inventory list or visit Pinterest for list and storage inspiration.
