Take a good look around, everywhere we turn there is talk of a recession, economic struggle, businesses going into administration and redundancies being made left right and centre; the UK is now a severely depressed and volatile economy. With such struggle comes a phenomenal urge to give up, hold back and become a shell of our former selves however not when you’re British! At times like this, the infamous stiff upper lip and desire to make do comes writhing to the forefront in order to ease life and assist happiness; it is the pride of British people, to make the best of any situation and today’s economic crisis is no different.

As fuel rises, so too do the costs of air fare and interest rates which is why; in these summer months an increasing number of people are choosing to be wise by scrapping their yearly, luxury holiday and instead opting for a lower budget, close to home adventure.

The past few years has seen a vast rise in the popularity of camping and although there are many that can still afford to go overseas, those struggling are now embracing British nature, watching the pennies and still having a holiday to remember. Why not give it a go? We agree that the British weather is unstable at best and the niggly bits of camping planning can be rather daunting, not to mention the ‘roughing it’ that us modern Brits are so not used to but why not watch the pennies and have an adventure your whole family will remember for years to come?

If you are a first time camper then there are a few things that you will need to be aware of and ensure you are doing i.e. packing a tent, your fantastic North Face camping gear, including the rather snazzy North Face arctic parka that everybody seems to be talking about and ultimately ensuring that you have everything in place to avoid those common camping blunders and let’s face it; rookie mistakes are easily made!

When attempting your first ever camping trip you need to be as prepared as can be allowed.Firstly don’t make the rookie mistake of setting off too late; after all you don’t want to be setting up your tent in the dark do you? You would actually be surprised how many people make this blunder and find themselves facing some of the longest hours of their life. Why not speak to a professional or perhaps visit a specialist camping website such the North Face site? As world renowned outdoor experts they can provide a great deal of advice on the right camping food and water, where to search for the ideal camping spot and of course that all important tent that, if searched for right, can protect you from the notorious dripping, collapsing tents!

It is so easy to fall for the camping myths and hear a few stories on the disasters of camping and wonder why on earth you would ever opt for such a holiday but recession or not; camping is a unique way in which we can celebrate nature, be at one with ourselves and have more memorable moments then the sun lounger will allow. Research everything carefully and take the time to plan things right down to a t and we don’t see why camping won’t be a fantastic way to spend your summer. Whoever said the recession was a time of misery knew nothing about the good old British way of life!
