Water Proof Cases And The Great Outdoors
By Jennifer Dullard
Water proof cases are an essential item if you want to spend
time in the great outdoors. There are times, when you are in the
middle of nowhere and it starts to pour rain and everything gets
wet.
Everything, except your essential items in your water proof cases.
Water proof cases can also be used around the home, to guard
items against moisture and the weather elements. You may have
some tools that are prone to rust, you can review your options
and guard against moisture by placing your tools in a water proof
case.
Spend Time Outdoors
I grew up in a family that loved to spend time outdoors. We grew
up on a dairy farm, so many of our chores were done outside. My
main job was helping with the large vegetable garden and mowing
the lawn.
My parent’s yard was beautiful. After working hard all day we
loved to spend time sitting in the yard and enjoying the beauty
around us.
When I went to college I missed the time that I was able to spend
outside. I was quite a distance from home so I was not able to
spend very much time on the farm. My roommate was from a family
that did a great deal of camping.
She invited me to come on a camping trip at a state park near
the campus. This was my first time camping and I knew before the
end of the weekend that I had found a new passion. I loved setting
up the camp, building a fire and cooking outdoors. My love of
camping still exists.
My husband and I along with our children have spent many weekends
in numerous state parks and campgrounds. We have developed a routine
in setting up camp which is very efficient.
Water Proof Cases
One of the biggest challenges while camping is keeping things
dry. We have tried many water proof cases through the years and
have finally found some that truly do keep the water out.
When looking for water proof cases it is important to check how
the case closes. It is usually at the closure that they tend to
leak. The best water proof cases we have found have a separate
lid that completely fits over the top of the lower half of the
case.
Keep Sleeping Bags In Water Proof Cases
This prevents leakage that is often present with the hinged containers
we have tried. Through the years we have learned that rain showers
can happen at anytime so we now pack our sleeping bags into the
water proof cases whenever we leave the campsite.
Other wet items can be dealt with as long as you have a dry sleeping
bag to crawl into at night. The routine is to bring your sleeping
bag out of the tent when you get up in the morning and hang it
on the clothes line to air out. Right before we head out on a
hike, swim or canoe trip we pack the bags into the water proof
cases.
Box Of Matches
We always make sure that there is an extra box of matches in
the bottom of the case so that we have dry matches to start a
fire with. These two things help to make a more comfortable camping
trip.
Especially when you want the whole family to feel comfortable
in the great outdoors. We have recently bought an extra water
proof case so that we can put spare clothes, just in case we get
all wet.
Look For A Motel To Stay The Night
There are times when you are in the middle of nowhere and it
starts pouring rain. We stay in the car and wait for the rain
to finish. After an hour or so, if it is still raining, we drive
to a nearby motel and stay there for the night.
By the time you can step out of the car, book a room and get
back to the car to get your belongings, all our clothes are wet.
So when we are in the motel, we pull out the water proof cases
with the spare clothes.
In most motels, there is always a shower and a bath, so we have
a quick bath and use the towels supplied, and change to dry clothes
from the water proof cases.
