SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER, PAGE 18 - JULY 10, 1974 Planning Camping Trip this Year Offers Family Variety of Dollar Saving Choices Many times when the inexperienced camper feels the "call of the wild," he rushes out, buys a tent, sleeping bag and canteen and attempts to "rough it." There is, however, more than just desire to making a trip into the great out­ doors a successful one. A great thing about camp­ ing is the variety of choice it offers in planning a vaca­ tion to meet one's patriotic obligations during this year of the Energy Crisis. Camp­ ing can also yield substan­ tial savings for the vacation budget. Sites are available just about as near or as far from most every hometown in the country as one can manage to go. Before venturing into the great outdoors the camper should consider such things as: How many people will be going? How long will the trip be? How much money can we spend? How much discomfort can we stand? With an almost unlimited range of ways to camp, there's one to fit the nature of almost anyone. With the proper coordination of campsite and camping ap­ pliances even the novice camper can enjoy himself and benefit both physically and men ta l ly f rom the great outdoors. In the Backwoods The serious outdoorsman, for example, might want to be a valuable investment. Less space can be facilitated by setting up part of the camp outside the vehicle. Cooking Outdoors Dur ing t he summer months especially, it really pays fo r t he moto r ing ' camper to cook out of doors and eliminate heat and cooking odors in the vehicle. Whatever the decision, there are a few basics that all campers must keep in mind: a successful camping trip requires careful plan­ ning, an adequate first aid kit is a must, and the right equipment or supplies can make or break your success in the great outdoors. Most experienced campers evaluate camping appli-1 ances on the basis of per­ formance, convenience and safety. The tenting camper wants to keep his expenses to a minimum. He might be using a tent or pull-type camper but regardless of the sleeping convenience, he'll want some basic appli­ ances to stay comfortable. Needs Good Stove He needs a good, depend­ able propane stove and lan­ tern. If he will be traveling in colder areas or times of the year, he will need a good catalytic heater ... a pro­ pane one that uses the same fuel source as his stove and lantern. As time out-of-doors in the great outdoors becomes more frequent, so usually does the appetite of the camper for more sophisti­ cated equipment. With a good initial start on a propane set-up, what he's purchased a year or two before is not outdated. He can add other propane appliances to what he has and convert them all to a bulk system, like Traveler's by Zebco.
