Camping Notes
A good camping incorporates a number of features. First, it should be compact so you do not take up space for other things. Secondly, you have a case to protect it from rain leaks, and so on. Third, the journal should contain blank areas to write your notes. Fourth, the journal should contain cue spaces to remind to remind you to take note of certain things. Cues should include:
1. Who are you going camping with,
2. Where the stock, if you want
3. Who you met and contact information for them,
4. Geographic and weather conditions, and
5. A unique thing happened while camping.
At the end of the camping trip, you should get the following from your journal:
1. Contact information for other campers and people who meet,
2. Enough detail to provide you or a friend with a guide, when the camp was in the area.
3. Memories, years later, on reflection,
4. Something to give to friends, children and grandchildren.
To get the most out of your camping journal, you will need while camping when you write. Each trip is special, even if only going out for the weekend.
