The destination of our scheduled adventure is the next item we should discuss. A family member could be chosen to research area camping grounds and camping areas. If our destination is a long distance from home http://www.dolphinsfanstore.com/Dolphins-Cordrea-Tankersley-Draft-Jersey/ , the routes, logistics of the trip, (such as planned rest areas and availability of fueling stations on route) could be delegated to one of the older siblings. Another research item would be to check the availability of replenishing our food supply if we begin running low while on the extended family outings. They, will be more able to use web research for the items and make them feel more accountable in the planning of the adventure.
Another item to be researched is, if the camping ground or area http://www.dolphinsfanstore.com/Dolphins-Chase-Allen-Draft-Jersey/ , allows open fires or if we will have to bring camping stoves for meals and warmth. If open fire areas are available. Can we gather firewood or should we bring it with us?
There are many options available for the purchase of camp items that may be considered necessary by the family for an extended family camping trip. Items such as camp stoves, tables, special sleeping accommodations and even a camping ovens. They are readily available at camping stores, online and some of the larger department stores.
The next thing to be considered is the food. In the past when we planned an extended camping trip (5 to 7 days), we froze the meats that we planned on cooking at least 3 days http://www.dolphinsfanstore.com/Dolphins-Charles-Harris-Draft-Jersey/ , then packed them in their own ice chest. This proved to be the best option, for us, to prevent spoilage and possible contamination.
Perishables are another matter. Condiments, milk, bread and sandwich making meats were put into their own ice chest with frozen water bottles added to keep them cool. It must be remembered that we should plan on at least two liters of water per person http://www.dolphinsfanstore.com/Dolphins-Cameron-Wake-Draft-Jersey/ , for each day of the camping excursion.
When we made extended camping adventures, we generally had three 50quart (47 liter) ice chests. One for the frozen meats, one for the perishables and one for other items. Such as hygiene supplies, toiletries, flashlights http://www.dolphinsfanstore.com/Dolphins-Bob-Griese-Draft-Jersey/ , matches!! And other necessities. Water supplies were stored in the available areas of the three ice chests.
Another item that we found to be of extreme necessity, is a ground sheet. The ground sheet is put on the ground where we will pitch our camping tent. It serves several purposes such as preventing twigs and small branches from making holes in the bottom of the tent floor and also conserves heat. We used a piece of indooroutdoor carpeting the same size as the tent floor. Other alternatives can be researched on the web, as they are readily available.
We hope that this article will assist in the planning of your Family Camping Trip and make it an enjoyable and memorable adventure. We hope it has offered suggestions that you may find useful and beneficial for you and your family to enjoy your extended family outing. Enjoy yourselves, “Happy Trails” and go out and create some “Family Lore”.
BUCHAREST, March 10 (Xinhua) -- Romania's famous dry sausages "Sibiu Salami" on Thursday acquired the name of Protected Geographical Indication in the European Union (EU).
The country's Agriculture Minister Achim Irimescu via Facebook congratulated the Association of Sibiu Salami Producers on the achievement and encouraged all producers of quality products in Romania to follow the example.
The Association of Sibiu Salami Producers applied in November 2014 and obtained on Feb. 19, 2016 the registration as Protected Geographical Indication product, according to official Agerpres news agency.
The Sibiu Salami became thus the second Romanian product after Topoloveni Plum Jam received a Protected Geographical Status in 2011.
The Sibiu Salami is a preparation of raw meat, dry sausage-like, covered with a thin layer of mold, and the first references to its production date back to the 19th century, when an Italian settler in central Romania named Filippo Dozzi turned his passion for sausages into a business.
