Tree-Top Camping











                           

    If you think of camping in a tent as uncomfortable, or boring then I know just what you need: A tree tent. Yes I said, Tree Tent. Instead of sleeping on the forest floor, being prey to bears and whatever the forest holds, try sleeping suspended in a tent ten to fifty feet in the air. The higher you go the more breathtaking the view, and the the more magical the experience will be. Tree tents have been increasingly popular over the past few years, but today the number of tree camping enthusiasts is astonishing. With a quick Google or Youtube search I found multiple tree tent companies, adventure planners, professional tree climbing classes, and a plethora of channels on YouTube dedicated to this very topic.

Tree camping is definitely going to be something I experience in the future, first thing is learning how to safely, and comfortably climb trees, after that I can go as high as the canopy (and nerves) will let me go! I challenge everyone to push yourself and try this out on your next big adventure!!

It is just a lot of extra work that I do not enjoy.  Although once everything is all set up, I have a spacious home away from home. Its especially nice when having friends along because we can all hunker down in the tent together if it starts raining or gets too cold. I love taking my dogs camping too, the thought of leaving them somewhere gives me anxiety, so being able to have them in the tent next to me is a plus as well. There are SO many op

Top 5 Mistakes to AVOID this Summer

      We all make mistakes, but when you are hiking, or going camping, mistakes can be deadly. Anything from wearing the wrong shoes, to not having enough clean water to drink can be inconvenient at home, but in the woods it can turn into a matter of life and death. Here is my life of top 5 mistakes to AVOID this summer. 5. Over/Under Packing When getting ready to go on a hike it can be so easy to cram a weeks worth of stuff into your pack, even if you are only going for a day or two. Extra clothes, that really cute sun hat you never get to wear, towels, extra shoes etc can all add weight to your pack that you don't need or want on a long hike. While you may think it is worth the extra weight in your pack, your back and neck will be hating you for it later. Packing light and only bringing the necessities can be scary at first, but once you realize you don't NEED all of that stuff,  you will find yourself less tired and sore than you would with a heavier bag. On the othe
