CRAFTSMAN CAMPING TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Tip #1: Plan Ahead – Before you step out the door, spend
time researching your destination, check the weather forecast and
pack campsite necessities such as flashlights, maps and other
provisions that will be helpful while you are away.

Tip #2: Camp with Confidence – Safety should always be a
priority during any camping trip. For starters, have an
emergency plan in place and inform someone of your whereabouts to
ensure you're prepared for unexpected situations. Before hitting
the road, pack a well-stocked first-aid kit and, more importantly,
have the right tools handy for setting up your campsite and
communicating to your friends and family as needed.

Tip # 3: Keep Yourself Organized - From toiletries to
s'mores supplies, keeping your gear organized and protected with
portable and durable storage is crucial. This level of preparedness
not only helps with maintaining a tidy campsite, but it also
ensures that you can quickly find what you need when you need it
without losing time searching high and low.
