1) Buy the right equipment but only if second-handIf you do not fit into the category of "seasoned camper," there is no reason to invest in a whole new camping gear. Instead, try backpacks, tents and all other accessories such as forneletto for cooking, in stores. Maybe avoided to buy a sleeping bag new generation, will do even that of a friend or relative, just have it by paying a little 'attention to use it. There are also several sites where you can purchase, exchange, or even receive as gift items used and where, of course, you will find what is for sale or exchange even in your city.2) Leave at home your gadgetsIn order to rationalize the consumption of electricity once you have chosen the right place for you in the picnic area, leave on holiday items that need too much power or rechargeable batteries. Rather than bring unnecessary weight, such as radio or portable DVD players, listen to the sounds of nature and accompany them with a good book. Not only for a few days you will be free from any kind of technology, but you'll also have a backpack lighter.Avoid flashlights and bring with you the solar or LED dynamo crank, they are a great alternative to the traditional ones and the energy produced could also charge your phone.

3) Stay nearbyChoose a place in nature where you can go camping, but it's nearby. There are lots of areas in our country where you can camp without moving too much. Only in this way will reduce the hours of traveling and your emissions. But if you really want to get away, then leave the car at home and prefer other means of transport such as bus or train even better.
4) Do not make too much noiseEspecially at night and in the early afternoon, be careful not to make too much noise. People like you opted for this type of vacation wants to spend his days relaxing enjoying a little 'silence, and then only the sounds of nature.
5) Stay on the PathYou have arrived on the spot, you have mounted your tent and the coupling of time to dedicate to a hike in the surrounding area, the important thing is to not stray from the paths. Look for minimizing your carbon footprint even when walking. In fact, wandering off the path could ruin native plants, calpestandole, or erode the soil.
6) Build a fire safeThere is nothing more relaxing than to lie under the stars around a beautiful roaring fire. But the important thing is to make sure that this is done in compliance with all fire safety rules to ensure that the fire does not get out of hand:
first find out if the area there are prohibitions or restrictions on the fire;
built a circle of stones large enough where you do your fire away from any flammable materials such as tents, sleeping bags or hair;
make a small fire so that it can be kept under control;
do not burn food, so you might attract unwanted guests such as skunks or other animals in the area,
Turn off the fire at least an hour before departure or before going to sleep by pouring water on the fire and stirring the ashes until it is completely off.7) Bring reusable dishesPlates, cups and plastic forks disposable are illegal for the true camper! Are allowed reusable plates and cutlery or at least those biodegradable plastic. Even those children will be fine. And once eaten, washed the dishes, pots and pans with just a bit 'of water or at most with a drop of dish detergent ecological or homemade.
8) Do your "needs" the right wayUsually almost all areas equipped for camping are equipped with bathrooms but you still need to behave in an environmentally responsible and respect these areas. A good rule of thumb is always to use environmentally friendly toilet paper and leave the bathroom in a clean condition and avoiding undesirable residues.
9) Wash you, but in an eco-friendlyYou might be tempted to put in your backpack shampoo or shower gel you normally use, but these products as well as being an unnecessary burden to bear on their shoulders can also be very dangerous for the environment. In fact most of the soaps, moisturizers and products for the cleaning of the body that we use daily are filled with chemicals and other non-natural ingredients. So if you plan to wash with soap at least bring you products for cosmetics and biodegradable natural ingredients and plant. As for cleaning teeth left at home toothpaste, just bring a little 'bicarbonate and your mouth will be clean in a natural way.The make-up? Useless! Let your skin breathe fresh air wing of nature.
10) Bring your wasteWhen leaving the campsite, make sure you take all your rubbish with you, which is thrown away correctly in the designated area for collection. And just in case the area is not provided, bring them with you as long as you have no way to deposit them in the bins right.
