To Cook Or Not To Cook! - Food For Camping

TheLoudestVoice | September 29, 2010

When selecting food for camping, you have one main advantage over backpackers, and that is that you will have more space. So therefore you have more options open to you, when planning your trip. There are two trains of thought when planning meals for a camping trip, and they are, to cook or not to cook!

You can find pop campers in a wide range of sizes and prices. They come in sizes perfect for an individual person, a couple or a family. They can be simple and be used as a place to sleep however, many of the updated campers now also have air conditioning, sink, dining area and some of the newer models even have full bathrooms including a shower.

Another alternative for not cooking when camping are MRE´s (meals ready to eat) these are rations pioneered by the American Army, and can be purchased at most Army Surplus Stores. They consist of a case of 12 meals, (one for each day containing main meal and dessert). They come with their own heating source and spoon with each meal. They are literally “ready to eat” and are reasonably cheap to buy. The downsides are that they come in cans, so they are quite bulky to carry, and there isn’t a great deal of choice. However there are vegetarian options available.

Pop campers provide comfortable accommodations that are much more secure then a tent. They usually come with netting or screens that allow of maximum air flow and light but will help keep unwanted critters and insects from getting to you or your food. They come with open screens as well as privacy screens for the windows so that other campers can’t see inside of your camper. Most campers will unfold at the ends creating two sleeping areas. These fold out sleeping areas range in size from a single sized bed  to a king sized bed. A lot of the new campers have 2 king “fold out” beds. Usually, the dining area can also be converted into a sleeping area too. This is great for families with children as there is a lot of room for everyone!

Places to visit

You can visit some great places if you base your stay at Hollands Wood campsite.

Beaulieu Motor Museum is a great day out for all the family.

Paultons Park is off the New Forest but would really appeal to all the family as it is a theme park.

Exbury Gardens are beautiful and you can take a little steam train ride too!

Breamore House near Fordingbridge is more for adults and is a lovely Elizabethan manor house.

Christchurch, Mudeford, Highcliffe are all by the sea and they offer the chance to swim or paddle or just make a fantastic sand castle and have a great cream tea

A Terrifying Experience - Air Travel

TheLoudestVoice |

It was a summer afternoon in 1992. I was on an Indian Airlines flight in the western part of the country, when I felt that I was no more. The agonizing 5-7 minutes still terrifies me whenever I look back.

Marketing as a profession needs quite a bit of traveling. I was based in Calcutta, the Eastern part of the country. I was asked by my senior officer to accompany him while he was to visit a manufacturing facility in Baroda, situated at the extreme western part of the country.

Rent a helicopter and impress clients
Few things impress clients like a helicopter. Rent a helicopter to arrive in style (and show how seriously you take their business), or fly them to a corporate event. Either way, a Bell Jet Ranger trumps even the classiest executive limo.

Suddenly I found that the droning sound of the engine was unusually low and thought that the pilot must have found technical reasons to use only one engine. Then there was the announcement from the pilot in the public address system. His words were,” Ladies and gentlemen, I am your captain of this fight. We have been informed by the control that there is a bomb on board. We are returning to Bombay for a regular check, please don’t get panicky. I can assure you that there is no such thing on board and it is a hoax call only. Thank you.”

Handle several meetings a day - reduce overnight hotel expenses
With a helicopter, it’s easy to cut hotel stays and unproductive travel time. More and more smart businesses understand how the speed and flexibility of a helicopter makes it easy to visit multiple sites in one day - and still get be home in time for supper. Not only do you get more done but you stay fresher.

The biggest gotcha is that last-minute flights are always non-refundable. If you are going to buy one on impulse, make sure you can actually make it first, as there won’t be any backing out of the deal afterwards
