How to Camp in the Rain with Push and Pull Wagons

When you go camping, it’s only natural to have encountered hazards that can ruin the experience. One of these hazards can come in the form of rain. Rain is often a double-edged sword when it comes to camping. Sometimes it can be a thing of beauty to witness whenever you’re out and about, but it can also prove to be a significant issue for whatever supplies you may bring in your push and pull wagons. So let’s find out how you can survive such weather during your stay outdoors.

Light

You might not think of needing light whenever you go about camping in the rain, and you may not initially consider that it usually becomes darker due to the clouds that close into one another to form the rain. If this happens early in the day, let alone at night, you will find yourself at a disadvantage when it comes to sight, which is why it is best to be prepared. Packing extra batteries for the electronics you need like LED lights, flashers, flashlights, and even glow sticks can go a long way in ensuring your supplies.

Clothing

Considering how much more soaked you can become with the rain, it’s best to pack the right amount and clothing to help you survive such weather. Some of the clothes you should bring include water-retardant jackets with sweatshirts and other coats packed underneath so that you can not only keep yourself dry but also stay warm. Also, it is better to get bright colored clothes like red or orange. This way, if it’s dark and you’re having trouble navigating the area, you can call out to someone, and the colors of your clothes can help them find you with little problem.

Tarp and Shelter

Make sure to bring a tarp with you if the area is known to have rain, and your life will become much easier when you go camping. With the use of a tarp, you can use it to cover a great deal of area above you so that you can prevent any rain from getting into your camp or onto your camping bench or, even more important, your supplies, you’ll be golden especially if you ensure that the rain can’t get into areas like your foldable wagons and ruin the supplies within. You could even put some tarp on the ground to make it so that anything that you have on the ground doesn’t get dirty or soaked. 

Hand Warmers

Should you ever get soaked, you’re going to want to need something that can warm yourself up quickly when you need such warmth the most. One item that can help you when you need such help is using hand warmers. When activated, hand warmers can be used in various ways to keep your hands and feet warm should they need a bit of heat. Keep an ample supply of them, too, because you may never know when you might need more. 

Shoes

Another item that can help you when you need to keep your feet warm is the right kinds of shoes. Tennis shoes or the other run-of-mill everyday shoes are liable to get soaked quickly, which means it’s going to be nothing but misery for your feet if you have to wear them while they’re wet. Wearing boots or other shoes that don’t let water in easily is the way to go in such conditions and can go a long way in ensuring that nothing wrong can happen to you long term.

Food

Then, of course, whenever you try to find other ways to warm your body up as a whole during these torrents of rain, sometimes eating some piping hot food can go a long way in accomplishing this. Ensure that the food is prepared ahead of time to make it less complicated to get the food ready in such conditions. 

Conclusion

Even with all of these tips being laid out, you shouldn’t view the rain as something that should be seen as a force of nature to be despised, especially when you’re camping. It should be an aspect of your trip that should be enjoyed, especially with those you care about. The sound of the water hitting your tarp. The feeling of humidity smoothing over your skin. The way it contributes to nature. Prepare for it, yes. But, also learn to appreciate it with the right tools and supplies in your push and pull wagons.
