When picking a location for your tent, be sure to look for dead tree limbs hanging above the spot you picked out. If there are any dead tree limbs, pick another spot.
One night, several years ago while on a camping trip my buddies and I heard a loud “crash” late one night. The next morning we got up and found a large limb had fallen about 60 – 75 feet from our tent.
If the limb had fallen on our tent, it would have seriously injured or killed one of us. The limb was about 1 foot across at the base where it had separated from the tree.

I can’t imagine going camping and forgetting to bring your contacts lol. I remember going to Alaska with my dad for a fishing trip and we had everything packed and ready to go, only problem was that once we got there we realized we had forgotten our rods. Luckily there was a local fishing shop nearby so we could buy some new gear.

I would also suggest that the family needs to think about the types of sites that they visit. We have a large two room cabin tent. It does allow for lots of elbow room. But it can be tricky to find a flat spot within our sites that is big enough for the tent. (The tent area is larger than a standard tarp!) We do look forward to being able to take extended family with us when camping.
