The Lost Girls and A Girls’ Guide to Camping

You’ve probably heard about the Lost Girls – three twenty-something New Yorkers who ditched their media jobs to embark on a yearlong, round-the-world journey in search of adventure and inspiration.

I’m sure these girls have been an inpiration to many women and even men who can only dream of what they’re doing.

On their site LostGirlsWorld.Blogspot.com, guess blogger Britt Reints, talks about some camping tips for girls. In short, here they are:

• Stay at a campground with showers or at least ones with good bathroom facilities
• If you’re forced to camp without bathroom facilities pitch your tent near a water source (as close as possible? – maybe not too close – ed)
• The most important part of a camping trip is the packing process – have a tub stocked with camping supplies
• Every camper should bring a tent, sleeping bag, pillow, garbage bags, food for dinner and breakfast, plenty of water, camping chairs and a lantern
• Don’t forget the necessary toiletries – deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, feminine hygiene product, body spray, hand sanitizer, shampoo, conditioner, and brush or comb
• For your own comfort, clean up while camping
• Don’t bring a mascara
• Take the lip balm and sunscreen
• Long pants, sweatshirts and socks to keep you warm at night
• Lighter clothes for the hot day
• Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty
• Take at least one more change of clothes than you think you’ll need
• Take a pair of tennis shoes and a pair of flip flops and hiking boots if you’re hiking
• It’s acceptable to make yourself comfortable
• Bring plenty of bug spray
