[TravelAndTourism] Any tips for doing as much as possible independently while camping?

[Peggy Martinez]

Here are a few things I do before and while camping, hoping you find them useful.
I practice setting up the tent in my backyard beforehand. I help plan the menu so I know what food will be there and how I can best fit in in the prepping/cooking. I let my friends know that it's more fun for me when I help and we then agree on tasks that make sense for everyone. Camping is a group activity and endeavor and I've found it's important to see how I can best contribute and fit in with whatever needs doing, it's not as much about me proving I can do certain things. Sometimes it makes sense to allow others to do things if it seems reasonable. The camping experience is usually about a group of friends enjoying nature together and having fun, and I've found that I have far more fun when I go with the flow rather than overtly asserting myself. We have different personalities, experiences, family and friend dynamics and you will likely know what makes sense for you. Anyway, I hope this is helpful to you and that you have a great time!-----Original Message-----

Sent from my iPhone Hey everyone. I’m going camping this weekend with a few others and I wanted to see if it’s possible to learn how to do any of the things such as setting up a tent or building a bonfire as a visually impaired or blind person. I love being able to challenge myself and even though I have people with me I’m really curious. Please send resources, tips or advice. I tried Google searching but nothing has really came up.
