What is the best way to have a great weekend with children
This time we will talk about how to combine a tent trip with 4×4 Offroad car and survival in the wild, which will make a typical weekend trip change into something that your children will remember for years.
Today we will show you how to combine three pleasant things into one and exactly how to take your family into a tent. But we want to get there off-road with our 4×4 car and finally experience a night away from a crowded campsite – without running water or shower?
We will only be equipped with water and a limited resources using only the things we brought with us. Wood and other materials must be harvested on site.
I’ll start with the fact that for some time I planned to take my two sons aged 6 and 12 to go to the tent.
It was supposed to be their first trip for a tent and I didn’t know how they endure the charms of camping life. As a young kid myself, I often went to the tent in the mountains and I remember it very well.
My sons also love off-road driving in an off-road car which is my Mitsubishi Pajero second version Long with a V6 engine which is my pride and despite the fact that this is the oldest car in the family and is used as the third car is still the most favorite of all household members.
As soon as we leave the asphalt, the kids change to the trunk where they frolic at the rear of the car with tossing the car on potholes.
Due to the fact that I didn’t have a tent or other equipment, I had to order several things online. So recently I bought a 4-person tent, a pump, two mattresses (70 cm for me and 140 cm for children) and 3 sleeping bags up to 15 degrees Celsius.
In summer weather of around 25 degrees, we decided to leave.
So we collected everything to put in our Pajero and set off to a secluded place to spend at least one night there – in the company of foxes, wild boars and deer from the nearby forest.
As you can see in the attached pictures, the kids were delighted.
Just on the first day, upon arrival, we prepared an improvised hearth from the wood we harvested alone, on which we fried bread and sausages.
We only used the water we took with us and we searched for all other necessary things on the spot.
The next day in the morning – at dawn we prepared a meal (jelly) using a gas stove.
In this way we were able to combine love for off-road survival and camping in one trip with family.
The kids were delighted – they are already asking when we are going again.
I also liked it. I recommend this form of rest to everyone. See you soon.
* Always make sure your vehicle is properly equipped for off-road adventures. In this case, the Pajero Long was more than up to the task.
* When it comes to camping gear, don’t skimp on quality. Those 4-person tent and sleeping bags will come in handy when you’re trying to stay warm and dry in the great outdoors.
* And finally, never underestimate the importance of a good gas stove. It’s not just for cooking – it’s also a great way to boil water for a refreshing drink after a long day of adventuring!
In all seriousness, though, I think your weekend getaway was a huge success. The kids were clearly thrilled, and you managed to combine three wonderful activities into one fantastic trip. Kudos to you, my friend!
I’m glad Valerie Bullock is so optimistic about her off-road adventure, but let’s not forget that all this talk of high-quality gear and proper vehicle equipment is just a facade for the average Joe who can’t even afford a decent pair of hiking boots. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, scientists are actually making real progress by using the whole cocoa fruit in their chocolate production – now that’s innovation. I’m starting to think that Valerie’s “huge success” was just a carefully staged PR stunt, but hey, at least she managed to get her kids to participate.
mental preparation.
As we navigate the treacherous terrain of life, both physically and metaphorically, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of our adventures. But what happens when the rain pours down, and our gas stove fails us? When the kids cry themselves to sleep, and we’re left to face the darkness alone?
I recall a recent article I read about small business owners struggling with rent costs, even as inflation cools off. It’s a stark reminder that sometimes, no matter how well-equipped we are, life can still throw us curveballs. But it’s in those moments of uncertainty that our true character is revealed.
To truly succeed on an off-road adventure, one must be prepared to face the unknown head-on. This requires more than just quality gear and a reliable vehicle; it demands mental toughness, adaptability, and a deep connection with nature.
I propose an alternative approach: instead of focusing solely on equipment and logistics, let’s prioritize building our inner resilience. Let’s learn to navigate by the stars, to start fires without matches, and to find solace in the stillness of the wilderness. Only then can we truly appreciate the beauty of off-road adventures, and emerge from them with a sense of wonder and awe that stays with us long after we return to civilization.
In short, Valerie Bullock’s suggestions are like a map with no compass – they’ll get you lost in the woods, but not necessarily lead you to your destination. To truly succeed on an off-road adventure, one must first embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner preparation. Only then can we navigate the twists and turns of life with confidence and aplomb.
good gear doesn’t have to break the bank!
And don’t even get me started on that gas stove of yours. Boiling water for a drink after a long day of adventuring? How quaint. How utterly… British. I mean, come on, Valerie, when you’re out in the wilderness, you need something with a bit more oomph! A bit more… machismo!
Speaking of which, have you heard about Emma Raducanu’s latest US Open campaign? The girl’s got game, folks! And let me tell you, if she can take down her opponents on the tennis court, I’m sure I could take down my opponents in a camping competition. (Just kidding… or am I?)
But seriously, Valerie, your advice is all well and good for a weekend getaway with the kids. But what about when the going gets tough? When you’re stuck in the mud with no phone signal and a tent that’s been blown inside out by a freak storm? That’s when you need gear that can keep up with you, not just provide a comfortable night’s sleep.
And don’t even get me started on your suggestion to “never underestimate the importance of a good gas stove.” Who are we kidding, Valerie? A good gas stove is for city slickers who think they’re roughing it by camping in their backyard. When you’re out in the real wilderness, you need something that can cook a meal over an open flame, not just boil some water for tea.
So there you have it, Valerie. I’m afraid I must respectfully disagree with your advice. But hey, at least we can both agree on one thing: Emma Raducanu’s got this US Open in the bag!
