Worry less about what to pack and more about the excitement of the trip . This free camping list printable will keep you organized on your next camping adventure. Full list of camping supplies for the family.

Going on a camping trip is a great deal of fun, but it can be a bit of a nightmare if you don’t arrive prepared. For this reason, packing is a very important aspect of your camping trip.

What do you bring camping?

There are four primary areas to think about on a camping trip and things you simply must pack for each. Here is a quick overview to get you started:

Shelter

Your shelter is one of the primary things you will need on a camping trip and you have to give some serious thought to it based on where you are camping. Unless you are staying in an RV or camper, you will need to determine how you plan to sleep. Will you go the route of sleeping under the stars, or will you use a tent?

Perhaps you are planning on doing an old fashioned lean-to and rough it like the people of old. Whatever the case may be, you have to pack the supplies needed to make it happen.

Regardless of which method you plan to use, pack an extra blanket or two and a high quality sleeping bag for each person.

Camping Food and Sustenance

Again, you have to consider whether you are bringing food or hunting your food. Either way, you need to pack some food for emergency because hunting is not always successful.

If you are cooking, then bring foods that are easy to make over a fire and that will not attract a ton of animals such as bears. Canned beans, eggs, sausage, marshmallows, sandwich stuff and hot dogs are good examples of foods to bring. Dehydrated foods are good as well. Just be sure all food is in bear proof containers to prevent smells from emanating into the forest.

If you are hunting your food, be sure you are properly licensed and bring it along. Bring your fishing tackle and gear and perhaps your firearm if you are hunting that type of food. Some prefer to carry a bow and arrow. Whatever your method of hunting, be sure you bring plenty of gear.

Finally, make sure you bring cooking gear if you are making your food at the site. You will need a pot, grill top, utensils, coffee pot, spatula and something to boil water in should your water run out. Bring a bit more than you think you need if possible.

Clothing

Clothing is not something you need to pack heavily as you will be living a minimized lifestyle in the woods. Pack plenty of good, warm clothing if you are heading into cold weather and a warm coat. Most people bring two changes of clothes so that they can rotate their outfits each day. Bring separate sleeping clothes so that you can air out your gear each evening or wash them as needed. Extra socks and an extra pair of boots are advisable if you have room in your pack.

Emergency

This section can be as large or small as the area demands. For example, if you live in the area of the country where bears are quite common, you need to have bear spray and a sidearm at least. First aid kits are also necessary along with extra bandages, a splint, allergy meds and some antibacterial spray. Sunscreen is always a good thing to keep as well as a good, safe bug spray.

Finally, make sure you have a means of communication to the outside world if you are going deep into the woods. A cell phone is important these days, as well as a good solid compass that you can trust. Never put anything above your safety and know your limitations.

This should get you the majority of what you need for your packing, but be sure to consider your own personal needs as well. Some folks need specific foods or medicines and that should always be top of the list. Also, make sure you keep identification on you as well in case you get lost or disabled.

Banana Split Sticks Recipe – Dessert on a Stick!

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

July 18, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Summer

A healthy and delightful twist on the classic banana split – banana split on a stick. Easy to make, a few simple ingredients and still low-calorie and delicious.

Headed to the beach? Hosting a pool party? These banana split sticks put a twist on the classic banana split recipe. Plus, they are cool because who doesn’t love dessert on a stick?

What are the main ingredients in a banana split?

when creating a traditional American Banana split there are a few key ingredient: Ice cream, chocolate syrup, bananas, nuts, whipped cream, and cherries. You can add other favorite ingredients like strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream, strawberries, pineapples, and caramel topping. The rules are your own and each individual’s Banana split can be created differently.

Are Banana Splits healthy or unhealthy – why?

Traditional banana splits would not fit many diets. Banana splits contain dairy (ice cream), chocolate, whipped cream and nuts which might be a problem for those with nut allergies. however, you can adapt the classic banana split recipe and create a healthy snack that doesn’t add too many calories but still is quite tasty and pleasing to your taste buds.

If making banana splits in a bowl or dish, try Greek yogurt. You also could add low-calorie whipped cream or leave it off. For those with nut allergies, leave off the peanuts or add granola instead! We personally find our banana splits on a stick are just at ouch of a treat but are also still very kind to those with diet restrictions.

How to make Easy Banana Split Sticks

American’s favorite dessert is now improved – Place freshly cut fruit on a stick and enjoy this twist on a classic – Banana Split Sticks!

Ingredients:

3 Bananas
1/4 pound Cored Pineapple
6 Strawberries
1 cup Dipping Chocolate
1/4 cup Chopped Peanuts
12 Popsicle Sticks (or skewers)

Tip: have a nut allergy, instead of chopped peanuts, try adding granola.

Directions:

Cut strawberries in half.

For each strawberry half, cut an equal size piece of banana and pineapple.

Place pineapple on first, then banana and lastly strawberry.

Place in freezer for 10 minutes.

Line a tray with wax paper or parchment paper.

Put chopped nuts in small plate to use for dipping.

Melt chocolate by heating in microwave for 30 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted and smooth.

Dip cold fruit in chocolate, then into nuts, then place on prepared tray.

For an added mess, consider serving with whip cream for dipping!

July 18, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Seasonal, Social Media, Summer

With only a few minutes prep, you can create these Beach Party individual pudding cups. Using teddy grahams, graham crackers and a few candies, you have adorable kids’ pool party snacks for a birthday, beach vacation or even a class party.

Beach Scene Vanilla Pudding Cups

These tasty treats are almost too cute to eat. Turn a vanilla pudding cup into a beach scene complete with a circle float, umbrella and bear laying on a towel above the beach sand. While these snacks are the embodiment of sand and surf, they are best served at a beach themed party or at a pool party as they would not go well with wind and sand.

What kind of food do you serve at a pool party?

For a pool party, you will find most of your guests snacking. While it’s nice to serve things like hamburgers, hotdogs or even pizza, make sure that you have a good selection of individual pool party snacks. That way people can eat on the go or as the sun and water develops their hunger.

Consider the following kid-friendly pool party snacks…

Beach Themed Snacks

The end of school is quickly approaching and if you are looking for an EASY last day of school snack, summer party idea, or something fun for a beach-themed celebration try out these Beach Scene Vanilla Pudding Cups.

Ingredients:

We used Snack Pack Vanilla Pudding Cups, make sure you have one pudding up per child/serving. Follow with one Teddy Graham, Life Saver, Air Head Extreme and Umbrella to perfect your individualized beach scene!

Snack Pack Vanilla Pudding Cups
Crushed graham crackers
Airhead Extreme Bites
Life Saver Gummies
Honey Teddy Graham’s
Drink Umbrellas

Where do I find Cocktail Umbrellas?

There are a number of places to find small drink umbrellas. I would recommend hitting the Dollar Tree first, but also look on Amazon, Target or at your local party store.

Directions:

First Take the tops off of your pudding cups and fill to the top with your crushed graham crackers to look like sand.

Place a Teddy Graham onto an Airhead extreme and place onto the “sand.”

Stick your umbrella into the sand with a gummy life saver next to it.

Serve with a spoon and enjoy these cute little beach treats!

Can I make these the night before?

If you want to prep your beach themed party snacks the day before, prep the topping ingredients. Go ahead and set aside the number of pudding cups you need. Crush your graham crackers and store in an air tight container. Count out your number of umbrellas and peices of candy. For 30 beach snacks, it should take no more than 10 minutes prep.
