The Fun and Easy way of Cleaning Your Coleman Camping Gear and Equipment – By D Coleman

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Had fun camping? How does going home sound? Most people find going home after camp the end of all the fun that they had. It is because you have to wash camp tents, shake and fold sleeping bags, clean camping stoves, etc. Basically all the cleaning and storing of used camping gear and equipment just sound so exhausting. Remember, fun is all in a state of mind. All you need is to view cleaning in a new perspective and formulate a strategy.

You need not do all the cleaning alone. On the last day of camping, you can always go about your camping activities, but you can include cleaning as one of your activities. Like the sleeping bags for instance; turn the radio on and dance and jiggle while you and the kids shake the dirt off the sleeping bags. Then, do robotic moves as you fold the sleeping bags.

Cleaning up cabin tents after a fun camping is easy as 1-2-3. All you need to do is to organize your moves and get the kids involved. Once you arrive home, you can always spread the tent out in the backyard ask the kids to hold the rim of the tent and together you count to 3 and shake it off while singing a tune. Then, hang the tent onto a clothesline and thoroughly hose off the tent, and hose your kids too once in a while. They would definitely giggle and shout as they hide behind the tent. Once you are done, just let the tent sit out in the backyard until it is thoroughly dry.

Have you ever tried cleaning a camping stove? It is easy. All you need are paper towels, warm soapy water or spray cleaner, and clean cloth. If you use propane stove, make sure to remove the propane bottles attached to it. Then, remove the grill. Once you have removed the grill, you will notice a lot of food that got trapped in the stove. You can leave it as it, but that would definitely be gross as it is unsanitary. Remove the trapped food from the stove, then dip the cloth in warm soapy water and wipe the inside of the stove. If the grease and dirt are stubborn, use a spray cleaner. After cleaning the stove, you may do the same with the grill, and put the pieces back together.

Cleaning your camping gear is not really a tough job; you just need to formulate a strategy and delegate tasks. Involving the kids in the ‘fun’ clean-up task will teach them how to be responsible and they too will form the habit of cleaning up the things that they used.

What is camping without a lantern? To clean a Coleman lantern, you need a cloth and also warm soapy water. Use the cloth dipped in the warn water with soap to wipe the lantern’s globe and its exterior; then, do the same with the burner. Once it is clean, let the lantern sit until it is thoroughly dry. A clean lantern prolongs its life and ensures a bright light, ready for your next camping trip.

Coleman Lifesaving Camping Tips – By William F Gabriel

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Camping is a lot of fun, but it can be dangerous too. Danger can be in any form and either happens when you least expect it, or at a time when you are having a blast. Still confused? Here is the thing; when one goes camping, you only bring the things that you think you need aside from the usual camping gear, tool, and equipment. For instance, the camping stove. Cooking is a part of camping, thus, you will definitely bring a portable stove, which is typically a propane stove.

Coleman propane camping stoves are easy to use, but in the hands of a lazy camper, it might cause trouble. An unclean stove can lead to food stomach aches, worse, food poisoning. So be sure to thoroughly clean the stove every after use, or on the last day of your camping trip. Don’t you worry, coleman camping stoves are easy to clean. All you need is a cloth and a basin of warm soapy water.

Let us talk about choosing the right camping furniture such as camping chairs. What types of portable chairs are most suitable for camping? In choosing the right camping chair, you should consider the person who will be using it. Is the person big and tall, fat, slim, or is it a child who will use the chair? The weight and size of the person is important because the chair needs to be able to carry the person’s weight. Otherwise, the chair will break or it will turn over; either way, it poses a concern because it might lead to serious injuries, and you surely do not want to spoil the camping trip because somebody got hurt do you?

To make camping for fun, people bring camping accessories that enhance camping experience. However, some accessories can be a lifesaver. One example is the portable television or radio. These devices enable you to get updated with latest news and events, such as weather reports. Sometimes, people tend to stay long at a particular camp site without knowledge of certain weather changes. But if you are always updated with the latest news and current events, you will be able to know if you need to pack up soon.

If you plan to camp on cold winter months, then you have to be fully prepared. The cold months can be harsh and some people cannot handle it. Thus, it is important to purchase a good and reliable propane heater. Coleman propane heaters are the best. It efficiently gives off heat and is ideal even against cold evening breeze. Camping means having fun and not dying of a frost bite or get uncomfortable of evening chills, so be sure to always include a propane heater in your list of camping needs.

Cooking is something that one does everyday, even when you are out camping. If you are camping near a lake or also go on a fishing spree, then bring a coleman grill. Grills allow you to grill food – meat and veggies – for a healthy and satisfying meal; thus, you get the energy you want to enjoy the rest of the trip and not lose weight because of hunger. Have fun!
