Camping - Paranoia Running Amuck

So do hawks as people have learned here lately.

 

I have never camped in an unorganized area. Always Provincial or Parks Canada. Have never even considered theft. We leave our camp stove set up for the whole time. (really, who wants to disconnect and reconnect the propane EVERY TIME). I would not worry about the sleeping bags. Electronics and wallets are locked in car, but that's it. But then again, I live in a country where most people keep their doors unlocked while they are at home.

 

Nooooo...
That makes me think you going camping is the exact right move.

 

I have camped a LOT in my lifetime and we never worry about the tent or the cots, sleeping bags or air mattresses. I even leave my bag of clothes in the tent most of the time.

The only thing I ever had stolen was a tub of Mackinaw Island fudge that I left (with the lid on) on the picnic table before bed one night. A very fat and happy raccoon made off with the whole thing. I found the tub the next morning licked completely clean. I was so mad at that raccoon!

 

That's my favorite part of camping! We love to do remote "rustic" camping where there is no power and NO cell reception! No devices allowed! My hubby is as bad as the kids most of the time! Lol!

 

We've been camping a lot over the years and never had anything stolen from our campsite. We would stash electronics in the car but that was it.

 

I kinda hope so! fat little thief!

 

That makes sense to worry about, but thankfully most camping people wouldn't dare go into someone else's tent or even someone's campsite really. We have done tent camping a few times and although I was leery at first of leaving stuff in the tent, we never had an issue. I hope you have fun!

 

Bart loves campers. Especially ones who bring flies!

Well? How did the camping trip go Timmi? @bbymks5

 

We haven't been family camping in a while, but this is what we would do. We also camped at a campsite (not a KOA) so everyone else was doing the same thing. I would be more concerned about camping in the open. Thieves are more interested in the big $$ stuff, not camp stoves, mattresses, etc.

 

so glad you had a great time!
