Well not exactly! Camping in hot weather can be just as troublesome as camping during a rainfall, factors such as heat exhaustion; de-hydration and heat stroke must be taken into account, remember there is nothing worse than trying to sleep with a bad sunburn. However, wearing sensible outdoor clothing can make a world of difference.

Here are a few tips to make sure your summer camping session steers clear of any problems.

Pick suitable summer outdoor clothing:

  • Light-colour, breathable fabrics that don’t absorb heat. Leave that black t-shirt at home!
  • Nylon or polyester shorts and shirts are always good. The fabric is cool, durable and will dry quickly when you perspire
  • Wear a hat. Not only for shade, but to ward off sunstroke and over heating

If you prepare well and follow these tips you will have an enjoyable hot weather camping experience. If done right the “under the stars” sleep out can be a totally unique time that you will never forget. Happy camping!!
