Top BCFing Takeaways
Pre pack for your trip to avoid the shops
Having your shopping done and your meals ready is a sure fire way to make your trip so much easier. The Berg family rarely eats out when they're on the road and normally prefer to cook things up that they have ready. This means there's no need to leave camp and you can kick back without a worry!
Try to get to camp before dark to make setting up easier
Setting up in the dark always adds a little complexity, so where you can help it try and get to your destination while the sun is still shining. If you have no other choice but to arrive in the dark, a headtorch will be your best friend
Don't be afraid to get creative in the camp kitchen
One of the best parts of camp is without a doubt the cookups. The Bergs have a pull out kitchen on their van but still look towards the trusty fire to cook up Wes' famous pancakes.
Always ensure the fire is out before heading home
If you're having a fire at camp, it's critical to make sure you put it out before you hit the road. And we don't mean kicking some dirt over it and calling it a day, make sure that fire is completely out!
Take all your rubbish with you
Make sure you leave your campsite exactly how you found it and take all of your rubbish home with you. BCF have a number of great rubbish bins to take along with you to camp. It's our collective responsibility to look after the places we love to camp at
