"Hi, this is Bruce Lessels from Zoar Outdoor for expertvillage.com talking about camping. One of the main ways to make your camping trip more enjoyable is to make sure you’ve taken care of the concerns about sun and bugs. Sun is virtually always a concern and it's best to protect from it, something with a pretty high SPF like SPF30 or higher is great. Also a hat and other sun protective clothing you can get, sun protective shirts and sun protective pants and those are a great way to keep the sun from ruining your camping vacation. Another thing that often comes up is bugs, a lot of areas of the northeast and west have bug problems and if you use some sort of a bug repellent like this is a nondeet version. Deet is a bug repellent that some people are concerned about because of its effect on yourself. This is a kids bug repellent just for kids and this is sort of a standard deet containing bug repellent. Make your choice which bug repellent you want to use and use it when you need it to keep the bugs away and keep your camping vacation enjoyable."
