sleeping - snore, snort
or hiss
If anyone has told you that you snore, you probably do to
one extent or another. Be a courteous camper & ask if their
are any 'light sleepers' setting up a tent next to you. Just
cuz you sleep like a log, doesn't mean everyone else does. Peace
& quiet is what most of us desire at camp. Making tent distance
is always the best solution. Snore Strips can help in certain situations.

- Real Women Camp:
- If you are the kinda girly girl who needs her cosmetics
everyday to survive, try to keep the face paint to a bare minimum in the outdoors.
- Lipstick & eye liner are the 2 items that will
pack easy. Less is better for you & the people
waiting on you in the morning. See more in the Female
Section.

 belching
Admit it, everyone loves a good burp. It feels good to your
body. The 'louder the better' in certain circles of friends.
You are out in the wild & this is the time to cut loose.
It's time to break free & forget most table manners,
unless of course, you are camping with your grandma. Just make sure your breath is not any indictaion of what's going on inside your sad stomach. Bring some mints & mouthwash.
body odor
Make sure you don't forget that under arm deodorant or all
your camping pals will be avoiding you & your vehicle. Jump
in a cold creek if it gets too unbearable. Plenty travel size
brands of anti-perspirant are available at Target, Walmart, Sav-On
or Rite Aid. And this is no time to start experimenting with
new brands. Go with what you know works.
passing gas
Do yourself & others a favor, if you are known for your
toxic smells, then don't share a tent with someone. You may end
up loosing friends over this problem, if you subject them to
it more than a few times. Good old farting & farting noises....Most
camp outs wouldn't be the same without it. Guys seem to love
this kinda humor & attention when doing male bonding with
others. Most girls will find it unbearable if the joke repeats
one too many times.
Watch you diet on camp outs for beans, chili & milk products
-- if you have a new romantic interest in your life & wanna
make a good impression. BeanO
could possibly help in certain bad situations.

- camp clean
- Everyone has their own version of what clean is. Push your limits, be prepared for bathing near a creek, or soaking in a hot springs, whatever nature throws your way. Just make sure to enjoy!
- Look under our Skin page for tips
on keeping yourself clean while spending large amounts of time outdoors.

If you are a fanatic about your new LLBean clothing, you
may wanna invest in some emergency stain remover wipes. Just
in case the mustard spurts, you sit in the fresh green grass, or
spill some red wine.

vehicle
cleanliness
|
- Let's face it folks.. people are more likely to be your passenger
if you have a clean car. If you have, CD cases, books, maps,
GPS, cell phone, cords plus week old fast food cups floating
about on the floorboard, chances are freinds will have trouble finding a place for
their feet.
- If you would like to start off your road trip feeling good
about your travels, then start with your car. Spend an extra hour, cleaning or straighten up that thing you will be living in out of -- for the next few weeks. And check your fluids, wiper blades, etc. Duh!

safety & injury
We hope that safety is part of you camping habits. Everyone should have basic safety items in their camping gear: emergency blanket, flashlights, whistle, water, and the first aid kit. See Skin for more on ointments.
Sore feet? Try something new for a change. Hiking boots getting old? Put a new spring in your step with some Sport Soles.
