Summer is fast approaching, and that can only mean one thing—more outdoorsy things to do.

Sure, the pandemic is still a thing, but if you’re smart about it, it won’t be a problem at all. Take camping, for instance—miles away from any outside human contact, and if you’re there as a single household, bam, you get to enjoy summer with people and Ms. Corona can’t do anything about it!

Instead, however, you will have to worry about things like mosquitoes and the occasional bear wandering to your campsite. Or, you can also, you know, not worry because Bored Panda created a handy dandy list of some of the most essential tips, tricks, hacks, and general know-how about camping.

Check out the list below, vote and comment on the submissions you enjoyed the most, and while you’re at it, why not share some of your camping wisdom with other soon-to-be camping Pandas!

You can minimize your risk of falling on the ice. The Penguin walk helps remind us how to walk on ice. Keep your weight forward and on your front foot Keep your arms out by your side to help you balance Walk flat footed and take short shuffling steps Wear footwear that provides traction Step down, not out from curbs Keep your knees slightly bent Walk on snow or grass if possible
