Top Tips to Make the Most of your<br />
Family’s Outdoor Plans this Summer<br />
With winter in the rearview<br />
and warm weather finally here,<br />
millions of Americans have come<br />
out of hibernation and are looking<br />
to breathe in the fresh summer<br />
air. This year marks the centennial<br />
celebration of America’s National<br />
Parks and according to AAA, gas<br />
prices are at their lowest in 12<br />
years, so there is no better time for<br />
Americans to head outdoors.<br />
In addition, AAA states that the<br />
most popular types of vacations<br />
for families planning to travel this<br />
summer are road trips (69 percent),<br />
national parks (49 percent) and<br />
theme parks (42 percent).<br />
With more families exploring nature’s most beautiful locations, Gander Mountain offers some helpful<br />
tips to keep in mind before you hit the road to ensure you are prepared with both the right information<br />
and the proper equipment to fully enjoy the great outdoors this summer.<br />
Practice pitching. Grab a camping tent big enough for the entire family and make sure to practice<br />
putting it up in your backyard to allow for a hassle-free setup once you get to your camping site.<br />
Energize with a treat. Pack chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers and let Mother Nature<br />
provide the skewers for free. No camping trip is complete until you make the perfect s’more around the<br />
campfire. Or keep it simple with an on-the-go energy bar to keep your level of energy up.<br />
Avoid the itch. Bug spray is a camping essential, so consider a “deep woods” option for better<br />
protection. If spray isn’t your preferred option, citronella candles and torches repel those pesky insects.<br />
Spend time relaxing under the stars without worrying about mosquito bites.<br />
Safety first. Have a first aid/survival kit with you at all times, even if you are just going on a day hike.<br />
Prepare<br />
Common<br />
for all types of weather as it could change in an instant. Consider dressing in layers so you can<br />
respond easily as temperatures can change rapidly.<br />
Pack for adventure. Make sure to pack the gear needed for any adventure. From the proper fishing<br />
rod, reel and bait, to a fire starter, kayak, or cooler - be prepared to make the most of whatever comes<br />
your way.<br />
Plan ahead. Seek out the advice of professionals who know the outdoors and have local knowledge<br />
and experience with the products you plan to purchase. Dedicated outdoor retailers like Gander<br />
Mountain have experts on hand to help answer all of your questions and make sure you’re ready to take<br />
on the great outdoors.<br />
