How to Camp for Beginners

Hello! Tis I, your local boy scout/girl scout/avid gay camper, here to give some top notch Advice™️ about camping! The season is nearly upon us and the woods are a callin' so let's get out there and be safe kiddos!

Before you Go!

Make sure you find a campsite you like and that fits your comfort level! There's ZERO shame in picking a place with cabins, public restrooms, showers, heated pools, hot tubs- whatever your looking for!

Once you pick your campsite, make sure you know the area around it- especially if camping somewhere your unfamiliar with! Example questions to make sure you know: Where's the local hospital? Where's the closest grocery store? Gas station? Are there rangers at your campsite and how do you get in contact with them? Does your campsite provide anything at all as a courtesy?

Also make sure you know the wilderness around you and prep accordingly -- if your camping in a site with bears during their non hibernating months, make sure you bring bear safe trash recepitecals if your campsite doesny provide them

Bring people with you. People you know and trust. Seriously, the buddy system saves lives. Do NOT camp alone unless you are an EXPERT and know the area EXCRUCIATINGLY well. This is also not the place to go with your new romantic partner/friend/friend or partners family -- some people are very good at pretending to be safe and getting you alone in the woods is when they stop pretending.

Pack layers. Make sure you bring at least one set of sweatpants and hoodie, bonus points if their insulated. It gets very cold at night in most wilderness locations, even in the summer.!

Bring at least one set of waterproof clothes, including rain boots and a waterproof coat.

Pack however many sets of underwear and socks you think you need to bring, then pack more. Bring an overwhelming number of socks

Bring good sneakers that are broken in but not worn out

Flashlight with extra batteries and a portable battery cube, fully charged

Make sure you have sunscreen and bugspray, your skin will thank yoi

While packing food, make sure you bring things that will last the trip in an insulated bag or cooler. Don't buy your ice until your close to your camp. Some campsites will even offer bags of ice at the ranger station!

Bring PLENTY of water. My brother always packs ten nalgenes full of water, others bring a big pack of water bottles. Stay hydrated!

If you're bringing a furry friend, make sure they are fully up to date on their rabies and Lyme shots

Pack In!

Make sure you have a full tank of gas when you arrive at your campsite

I personally like to leave my phone in my car while I camp. Bring books/art supplies/journals or whatever you do for fun -- if that's your phone and you have service, great!

Having said that, if you ARE having a technology free camping trip, pick one person in your group with the best phone and declare them the emergency phone person

Best doesn't mean newest -- your friend who hates capitalism and has a Nokia that can survive nuclear fallout should be picked over your friend with the brand new super fragile iphone

Make sure the emergency phone remains fully charged and comes with you when you leave the campsite. Most emergency calls will work without cell service, but a dead phone can't make calls

Make sure you get the rangers number! Rangers are your friends, they want you to have a safe trip and are there for all your questions!

Also make sure to respect the rules of whatever campsite you're at -- if you're on boy scout property for example, you absolutely CANNOT bring alcohol. If you're having a fun adult camping trip, make sure you know the weed laws in that state before your puff and pass.

While setting up your campsite, try to find somewhere dry, that's not located near the bottom of a hill or next to a river.

Try to find places that don't have a ton of loose rocks or dirt, but where the ground is soft enough to nail in stakes for tents/canopies

Most campsites will have an assigned area with a fire pit, but if yours doesn't, make sure you collect enough rocks to build a fire circle before roasting any s'mores!

If your campsite doesn't let you bring cars past a certain point, make sure you know the fastest and safest route to the parking lot

I cannot stress how important it is to make sure you know the emergency numbers -- if theres a medical emergency, you may not be able to get someone to the car. Rangers will have ATVs and paramedics will have the skills to get people out of situations

Make sure your first aid kit is well packed with plenty of bandaids antiseptic and gauze- triangle bandages are also a versitle tool that can help with sprains splints and holding bandages in place. Preferably bring someone who knows at least basic first aid or CPR -- if you can't find a friend with that knowledge, make sure to be extra nice to the rangers

Bring an extra large bottle of your preferred over the counter painkillers -- dehydration and too much time in the sun can cause headaches! Also nifty for twisted ankles or sore backs from sleeping on the ground.

If you forgot your tent stakes, that's okay, put a spare cooler/bag/something heavy in the center of your tent to weigh it down in case of high winds.

If you forgot your rain canopy, a ripped trashbag will work in a pinch, but be warned: it's gonna get hot as HELL in that tent

During your Trip

Sunscreen and bugspray every day- even cloudy days have high UV rays, melanoma kills

Whether cooking on portable grill or campfire make sure your meat is fully cooked.

Chopping your produce and meat and cooking them in two separate packets of tin foil makes delicious meals, plus it's easy to check how done it is

Speaking of fires, make sure you have fireproof gloves and tongs if cooking over a campfire

Zip tents if rain is predicted but believe me, tents are like fucking hot boxes, so try to get as much air movement as you can.

If your campsite doesn't have latrines/portapotties/bathrooms (and you didn't bring one) be a good friend and make sure your camp's designated potty site is down wind of your camp. Also, human droppings can attract animals, so make sure it's a good distance away

(seriously though consider bringing a porta potty they make ones for campers)

CHECK FOR TICKS!!!! CHECK FOR TICKS EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU CAN!!!

Ticks like warm, dark places, so make sure you check behind your knees, under your arms, the back of your neck, in your socks and your privates! Ladies- that includes under the boobies. Wearing long pants, high socks, or long sleeves can be a simple and efficient tick deterrent, especially in marshy areas or tall grass. Don't forget to check your pets if they came with you!

If you find a tick, get some tweezers, grasp as close to the skin as you can, and slowly but firmly pull down on the tick- remember, you want the head out. You can also use a credit card or any other dull edge to help push downward.

Wet feet cause blisters, so always wear socks and change them often. If you get a blister, DONT POP IT, cover it with a bandaid or surround it with moleskin

Hydrate hydrate hydrate hydrate, drunk water every fifteen minutes even if your not thirsty

Remember to respect the nature around you- don't go pulling leaves off trees or disturbing animal dens, stay away from pretty much any animal- yes, even deer, bucks can and will gore you If frightened enough, deer can tramble you and even the cutest little Birdy can carry rabies and other diseases.

Poison Ivy has three leaves, poison oak looks like a strangling vine, and poison sumac has berries. Make sure you know what grows in your camping area.

If you brought a pet, don't let them eat any plants!

Make sure to use the buddy system especially if someone starts feeling ill- a lot of really dangerous illnesses start out looking a lot like colds and flu

Make sure to have a bucket of water next to your campfire, and every night make sure to completely douse your fire before turning it. Splash water on instead of dumping and make sure every ember is out- remember, only you can prevent wildfires

If you brought a gas powered generator for your campsite, make sure it's as far away as possible from the fire pit. Also, they're quite loud, so maybe don't put it near your tent. Put it on the outskirts of the campsite and don't leave it running when you're not there

Pack out!

LEAVE NO TRACE!!! make sure you clean up ALL your litter, all of it, every single one. Check and triple check your entire camp site.

Make sure everyones tent poles and stakes end up with the correct tent- you'd be surprised how brand specific stuff like that is.

Especially don't leave any food items -- there's likely going to be another person filling that campsite soon, they don't need moldy food attracting critters!

If there's a sign out sheet, don't forget to sign out at the ranger station! If they had to evacuate the campsite for whatever reason, they'll need to know you're gone!

Do a final tick/other bug check- you don't need to be bringing bugs home with you! Also check that there are no critters are in your supplies -- this sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised where snakes and mice can end up.

Give your pets an extra good bath when you get home. You don't know what could've gotten stuck in their fur!

Tick/spider bites tend to look like bullseyes. If you develop bullseye shaped rashes after you get home, seek medical attention.

Most of all, have fun and be safe!!!

a set of very small frogges sculpted from marbled clay. they are a combo of opaque purple, semi transluscent baby blue, and shimmery transluscent soft pink. each is about 4 cm in length. they are wearing fashionable wizard hats. they are glazed with a subtle blue iridescent coat, and painted in a fun palette of magical colours, featuring chubby little stars. they are sealed with wax. each is a different chonky shape and they all have grumpy faces.

the wizard froggers: ☆ fish tank (peachy pink hat) ☆ sabotage (fuchsia hat) ☆ under stars (light lavender hat) ☆ linkin park (navy hat)

please note: unlike most wolf & ghostling creatures, these little frogges are sealed with three coats of wax to protect the new kind of paint. while the usual acrylic varnish is smooth, these ones have a dustier feeling finish. it is more prone to collecting little cat floofs and the like, and also not as indestructible as the acrylic. please keep them away from water. they are waterproofed, but they are very tiny and the paint in the smallest crevices where wax is hard to apply could potentially run if submerged or placed under running water. please also take care not to graze them with sharp objects or your nails, or drag or press them against hard surfaces, as the paint might scratch more easily.

essentially, please treat these little friends as tiny handmade sculptures instead of the usual sturdy chunks i make ! <3 i am still experimenting with this new technique.

acquirable here.

I say this every year and I'll say it again - for dogs that are supposed to have a waterproof coat, they should get a very professional cup of water dumped on them - just to see. to be sure

why a cup? get a dunk tank. test their temperament as well.

Tankiste at the Barracks and Work Detail

This is an impression of a French tank crewman at the barracks and on work detail. One may see this uniform on tankiste at rest in the barracks (left photo) or when performing work detail (right photo).

The left main photo depicts a soldier who is either just waking up or getting ready to sleep in the barracks. Soldiers were issued two Régulation Undershirt Modèle 1878 and one underdrawers as the undershirt was considered the main piece of clothing that would have to be cleaned frequently. Two pairs of socks were issued for the same reason. The socks would be placed over the underdrawers, and the underdrawers placed over the undershirt. Over all of this was a flannel waist wrap, this variant being a basic Red Cross accepted item. On his head he wears a wool sleeping cap. It was still believed by many at the time that sleeping without a head cover would lead to illness. This version is a private purchase knitted example as the regulation cotton version ceased distribution in 1908.

The undergarments were either pin-striped in red, black, or blue, blue checkered, or plain white. The regulation undershirt was closed with three bone or porcelain buttons and the underdrawers closed with two. Red Cross accepted undergarments may have slight variations from this standard. The shirt had tails on both the front and back, to be tucked into the underdrawers as previously stated.

Over his shoulder is a standard issue towel for washing oneself. On his feet are a pair of wooden clogs, often worn when not wearing the standard issue boots or rest shoes. He is also holding a wooden barracks box or footlocker. These remained in the barracks and acted as the footlocker for the soldier's belongings.

The right main photo depicts a tankiste performing the daily chores. The daily chores was of course what can be normally expected when maintaining a living space: cleaning clothes, cleaning dishes, staying hygienic, and cleaning the barracks or encampment, as well as general upkeep of weapons, uniform, and camp. For the tankiste this also included maintaining their vehicles to battle ready status. It was permitted to wear the undershirt exposed when performing work duties as they were often performed behind the lines, though tankiste would sometimes opt to wear their black leather coats when working with the tanks to prevent nasty vehicle stains. The undershirt would act as the main garment if it was particularly hot that day and if it was permitted by the officers. It was instructed to wear the dark blue flat knot tie despite not wearing the tunic, though this was not always followed. The breeches are secured by Bretelles Modèle 1879, which were a double piece regulation suspender. It was common for soldiers to ditch the double piece regulation suspenders for a civilian single piece example that crossed at the back which provided better security.

Displayed here is the Boîte De Paquetage De Casernement (Barracks Box) and assorted clothing cleaning equipment. Cleaning equipment was placed inside the Sac de Petit Monture (Small Kit Bag). This bag included the Martinet (Clothes Whip), Brosse à Habits (Clothes Brush), Brosse Doubles (Boot Brush), and Button Polish Stick. Beside these are two handkerchiefs provided by the French Red Cross and the standard issue towel and soap. Various patterns of handkerchief would be seen as they were made from scrap material usually in a flannel pattern and provided by the French Red Cross. Red Cross variants were permitted to be used in place of the regulation handkerchiefs. The regulation Seau en Toile (Canvas Bucket) can be seen in the background. This was a compact water container that was used for chores and temporary water carrying.

Also depicted here are two pairs of Brodequins Modèle 1912 modifié 1916. The 1916 modification retained the 1915 modifications of increased waterproofing on the basic 1912 model and added a rivet placed at the joining point of the upper part of the boot for reinforcement. These boots were steel hobnailed which give decent traction on rough ground. Conversely, they perform poorly on smooth ground like the polished concrete of a museum, which is often the cause of very funny slippage moments. They were sometimes issued in their natural color and soldiers were required to blacken and polish the boots themselves. The double sided boot brush as well as the double sided grease tin were provided for this task. Boot polish was placed in one side of the double sided grease tin (the other side being gun oil). The longer bristle side of the brush was for removing dust while the short bristle side of the brush was for removing dried mud and polishing the boot. Soldiers were required to upkeep the polish on their boots despite how dirty they could get in the trenches. On the left example we can see where the Bandes Molletières Modèle 1915, or puttees, would overlap on the boot as denoted by the upper portion of the boot having no dirt on it. Standard lacing pattern was a ladder lace, pictured here. Cross lacing existed however it was very uncommon within the French Army during this period.

History

Birthplace: Fall City, Fiore Region

Current location: Ocean Life Research Institute, Cove Island, Decolore Islands

Occupation: Marine biologist

Affiliations: Ranger Union (former)

Alignment: True Neutral

Preferences

Likes: Water-, Ghost-, Dragon-, and Grass-types, hot cocoa, jasmine tea, black tea, the smell of sea spray, the beach and ocean, swimming, doing crossword puzzles, wilderness, mulled wine, spending time with his Pokémon, spicy foods

Dislikes: Steel- and Bug-types, coffee, overly excitable people, oversleeping, having to explain why he left the Rangers

Fears: His Pokémon being harmed or having no one to care for them, an experiment getting ruined, catastrophic ocean pollution

Berserk buttons: Poachers and smugglers

Descriptions

Personality: Hal’s a quiet guy unless you ask him about oceanic Pokémon, especially those that live in the depths. He's wary of professional trainers, contest entrants, gym leaders--anyone who he views as making a living off of their Pokémon. But once he knows they genuinely care for their companions, he warms up pretty quickly. Background: Growing up in Fiore, where Rangers are more common than trainers, Hal always wanted to be a Ranger. He begged his parents to let him attend the Ranger Academy, but they refused, wanting him to have a more traditional educational experience. Still, as soon as he graduated high school, Hal joined the Rangers. He was an active Ranger from the age of 18 until he was almost 23. Just after his 22nd birthday, Hal was assigned to a team tasked with breaking up and capturing the leaders of a notorious Pokémon smuggling ring. Hal worked on that case for the better part of a year, and the level of suffering and cruelty he saw inflicted on Pokémon in the name of profit made him sick to his stomach. Hal’s team succeeded in their mission, making headlines in the process, but Hal quit the Rangers soon after.

Hal returned to his childhood home in Fall City, where he lived with his parents for another two years, re-adjusting to everyday life and beginning therapy for his PTSD. When he was 25, he decided he wanted to go to university and applied to a Marine Biology program at the University of Sinnoh at Sunyshore. He graduated in three years and received a research internship at the Ocean Life Research Institute in the Decolore Islands. After his internship ended, he was offered a job as a research assistant. Hal is still based in the Decolore Islands, age 29.

heat tips (qualifications: I've lived and worked outdoors in pretty much every region of the Continental US except the South, w/ and w/out AC):

- drink lots of water! put whatever in you have to in order to encourage yourself to and if you know you're going to be in hot conditions try to pre-hydrate

- make sure you're eating enough! heat can decrease appetite and you need to make sure you get enough salts and water absorbs much better when it's paired with food

- if you have dark hair a light colored hat it great when working outside (and you can get it wet and cool your head a little)

- you're gonna want to have as much ventilation as possible and fans wherever you can. window fan + ceiling fan = almost as good as ac (sometimes just as good as). window fans aren't too expensive and use way less energy to run so you can kind of keep them constantly running. unfortunately they don't fit into all windows.

- an alternative strategy for places that have larger day/night temp differentials (dryer places) is to run as many fans as you can at night and then seal up the house as soon as you wake up to trap the heat inside until the evening cools off

- to reduce AC costs, do as best you can to seal/insulate. it's harder if you are renting but some orgs will give you a free insulation audit and then may even help you fix some insulation. "energy efficiency assistance" is probabaly what to look for. try to hold out on turning on the AC (using above strategies) until a last resort. sealing off a specific room might also work better than trying to heat a whole space (if you don't have central ac.) if you have a thermostat, try to keep the temp as high as you can be comfortable. this is harder if you work somewhere with ac, but keeping yourself acclimated to a high temperature makes it less jarring when you do go out in the heat

- taking a coolish shower and do wonders for bring the body temp down pretty quick after doing something in the heat

cold: (grew up in Iowa)

- you're gonna eat more bc you have to burn more energy keeping yourself warm. let yourself. (make sure to drink enough water though)

- people always talk about layers, but what does this look like? this is the kind of max layers I would do from head to toe (I haven't had to deal with super extreme cold though), adjust to time spent outside and temperature:

- fleece lined hat that securely covers the ears + hood(s) over that, cinched as tight as possible

- scarf, long enough to wrap around you twice, with a tight weave, covering cheeks and nose

- tight tank top + long sleeve T-shirt + hoodie/sweatshirt or sweater (wear the hood over the hat) + thick winter coat that ideally goes to about your knees, hood over hat (I've tried the lighter down ones but they eventually compress and become less effective over time)

- waterproof, fleece lined ski gloves (sometimes you can fit thin knit gloves often called magic gloves I think? under these too) OR thin knit gloves + mittens

- leggings/long underwear + thick sweatpants (snow pants are nice but probably excessive unless you're skiing or something, make sure you have a waterproof/water resistant top later if you're gonna be interacting with snow)

- thin socks + thick wool socks + waterproof (snow) boots

- all of this is pretty heavy. also, my order for getting this stuff on is clothes > hat > boots > gloves > coat > scarf. do this at the last possible moment to prevent what I call "heat panic" when you are stuck inside with all your winter gear and risking getting sweaty.

- if you are moving at all, you will probably want to be able to take off layers. walking heats you up a surprising amount. better to remove and prevent sweating. shoveling also takes a lot of energy so you'll need less clothes than you think.

- if you are moving somewhere with a lot of snow and you have a big driveway and can afford it, snowblowers are worth it. otherwise try to find the lightest snow shovel you can buy + a metal one for scraping up the compacted snow. use salt (lightly) only on places that have been shoveled. prioritize places you will actually be walking and try to do it as soon as you can after it stops snowing so it doesn't freeze and become harder to remove.

- I love a scarf, to the point that sometimes I turn to wearing one even before I get a hat. they're very easy to adjust to various temperatures. beware of fogging the glasses though.

- don't let your hands get cold - it'll be harder to warm them up than prevent them from getting cold, so wear gloves before you think you need them

- moisturize!

- humidifiers are great (help to prevent nosebleeds)

- if you have to drive, make sure to give yourself an extra 5-10 minutes to heat up the car AND account for it taking longer to drive on snowy/icy conditions. (the only way to get better at winter driving is practice but give yourself more time to stop and go slower than usual. if you have AWD use it.) my car heating process is this: turn on the car and crank the heat all the way up including the front and back defrosters, then go outside and brush off any snow, then scrape away any ice. if you don't have a scraper/brusher, don't try to improvise, just wait longer with the heater and use the windshield wipers once you can see it actively melting. (budget more time).

- walking on the street where it's been plowed is a good way to avoid slipping on ice.

- heating is also expensive so see above for insulation tips. close any storm windows.

Cementitious Waterproofing: Protecting Your Structures Against Moisture

Waterproofing is an important part of construction today, as it helps keep structures protected from moisture, water damage, and other environmental problems. One of the most reliable and cost-effective solutions is cementitious waterproofing which is durable and versatile for residential and commercial projects. In this guide, we debunk the benefits, applications, and key considerations of using cementitious waterproofing and how it compares to other methods.

The Fundamentals of Cementitious Waterproofing

Cementitious waterproofing is the use of cement-based products, mixed with water and other additives to form a waterproof layer. The resulting mixture provides a strong, impermeable barrier that prevents moisture from entering surfaces such as walls, basements, roofs, and water tanks. This technique is known for its durability and ease of application and is used in construction projects worldwide.

The success of cementitious waterproofing lies in maintaining the correct cement-sand-water ratio for plastering or application. A proper mix ensures durability and waterproofing efficiency, making it a good choice for moisture-prone areas.

Why Should You Use Cementitious Waterproofing?

Ease of Application: Cementitious waterproofing is easy to apply and great for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. It can be easily brushed or troweled onto surfaces.

Cost-Effective Solution: Cementitious waterproofing is a great option at a reasonable price compared to other waterproofing options. Even when factoring in the water-resistant  cement price, the overall cost remains budget-friendly.

Durability and Strength: Cementitious coatings bond well to concrete and masonry surfaces. Therefore, it is long-lasting and provides moisture resistance.

Versatility: It is suitable for many surfaces such as basements, terraces, water tanks, bathrooms, and swimming pools.

Resistance to Water Pressure: When properly applied, cementitious waterproofing can withstand both positive and negative water pressure and allows structures to remain water resistant in harsh environments.

The Application of Cementitious Waterproofing

Cementitious waterproofing can be used in many areas where water exposure is common. These include:

Basements and Foundations: Soil moisture and groundwater pressure make basements susceptible to water seepage. Cementitious waterproofing is a protective layer that wards off moisture.

Water Tanks and Reservoirs: To ensure clean and safe water storage, applying water-resistant cement inside tanks prevents leaks and contamination.

Bathrooms and Wet Areas: Cementitious waterproofing is very useful in bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet areas as it protects walls and floors from constant exposure to water.

Proper Mixing: Use the correct cement-sand-water ratio for plastering to create a strong, impermeable coating.

Layering: Rather, apply multiple thin layers instead of a single thick layer. You should apply a coat and then allow it to dry completely before applying the next.

Curing: Cementitious waterproofing must be properly cured to achieve maximum strength and durability.

Choose Quality Products: Opt for water-resistant cement from trusted brands to ensure reliable, long-term protection.

Conclusion

Cementitious waterproofing is a very effective and inexpensive means of preventing moisture damage to structures. Whether you’re working on basements, water tanks, or roofs, using the best water-resistant cement ensures durability, strength, and peace of mind.

While the water-resistant cement price may vary, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial investment. You can create a water-resistant barrier that stands the test of time by achieving the correct cement-sand-water ratio for plastering and following proper application techniques.

Incorporating water-resistant cement into your construction projects guarantees protection against leaks, cracks, and structural damage, ensuring your building remains strong, safe, and moisture-free for years to come.
