Something indescribably magical happens to regular, grocery store goods on a camping trip—ask any avid camper and they’ll tell you meals prepared in the outdoors taste infinitely better.
Like, significantly better than when cooked indoors.
I don’t understand it. I cannot explain it. But I know with 100% certainty that this statement is true.
Some things are synonymous with camping: making smores, campfire songs, ghost stories, and good old-fashioned camping games. Thanks to the ever-extending reach of cell service, there may be a temptation to pass time scrolling social media on your phone or tablet…but why? The whole point of camping is connection—with nature, yourself, and the people you care about.
Is there anything better than hitting the trails for an extended hike into mother nature? Day hikes are a great way to fully immerse yourself in nature without the full commitment of camping overnight. And it’s amazing how spending just a few hours outdoors can reset your spirit and refocus your mind.
Is there anything better than immersing yourself in mother nature by camping? Don’t get me wrong—I love a good day hike as much as the next outdoorsperson, but there is something transformational about living in the great outdoors…even if only for a single night.
It’s important to remember to be a good steward of the earth when you’re out in it, and it doesn’t matter if you’re at a relatively populated campground or alone on the trail. One of the best ways to honor the outdoor experience is to take care of the animals who call the wilderness home.
I know we aren’t alone when we say 2021 can’t get here fast enough. It’s as though the whole world is holding its breath...counting down the seconds until 2020 is in the rearview mirror and the future suddenly becomes the present.
We wanted to give you something to look forward to in the new year and decided to compile a list of dreamy hiking locales full of breathtaking views and soul-inspiring vistas. Let’s take a look and get inspired.
The holiday season is fast approaching and time is running out to get those special items ordered and delivered before December 25th. Luckily, we’ve scoured the world wide web in search of some pretty unique gift ideas that your favorite outdoorsy person is sure to love.
As I am sure most of you have now realized and how Game of Thrones would constantly remind us, winter is coming. For us here at Intervine, you campers, outdoor enthusiasts and you guys enjoying the cool climate in the backyard or deck, we know how good a hot meal tastes on a brisk morning or a chilly evening. So we thought we would share some of our team's favorite easy warm camping recipes…
We are approaching that time of year, it's dark in the mornings and it's dark in the evenings. Some of you will be going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark. With just a few precious hours of sunlight on offer, mostly just light let's be honest, at the weekends our team at Intervine wanted to brighten some of the gloom and make sure you get the most out of your days, even if that means in the dark!
The Intervine team are consistently improving and extending their product range and we wanted to share with you some of our favourite gear, give you some examples of how we have used them to their full potential and their features and benefits.
Here at Intervine we take our camping seriously, you already knew that right? Well one of the few things we take more seriously is our view on reducing waste, single use plastics and how we can camp with less of a carbon footprint. We have been getting a lot of questions on how we reduce our waste when camping and for eco camping tips. So we thought we would share them with you and together we can help the world breathe a little easier.
For this week's blog we would like to focus on the 5 best places to camp in Fall. We touched on the last blog (read here) why camping on Labour day can be great, which it is, however we focussed mainly on New England and the renowned colors of the fallen leaves. Now we would like to share with you some of our favorite spots to camp during the Fall months outside of New England.
September. What a month, typically signaling the end of summer and the start of Fall as the nights start to close in and the leaves start to change colour. The best month of the year for me. Starting off with a national holiday, the weather is still great, in fact not too hot and not too cold, some say perfect. It is also likely that this will be the last trip you take before the holiday season comes with the colder weather for most of you reading this which makes it all the more enjoyable.
