So, this was how you will choose the clothing for each session but do you know how to dress efficiently! Read on.

How to dress efficiently in camping:

Before starting the trip:
Keep it in your mind that whatever you are wearing to the journey, that will stay while doing post parking work such as tenting, making a hole, setting up a stove, making fire etc. So it will be wise to dress little comfortable just because to do the initial work at the campsite easily.

One more thing is, you should know when you will be working, you will be sweating and when sweat mixed with dust, it creates mud and that mud is going to ruin your worn dress. If it is too cold to wear multiple layers before starting from home and when you are going to start work just leave the outer cloth.

While going to bed:
This is too much important to change the clothes that you already wear in the day. Get some fresh dress and remember that has to be well dried. Never go to bed with wet clothes even if it needs to change your underwear and socks.

One more thing to remember that always get some flexible and long dresses while sleeping as well as do not dress like too bulky which can make you sweat in sleeping and you can be roasted with your own juices.  One more thing you can do is to hang up your wet clothes before you go to sleep.

While hangout:
Try to wear multiple dress while going outside because if you start in the morning, temperature will be lower than noon and when it becomes noon you can leave your outer layer into a bag and when the sun starting to say bye for that day put on again the outer layer because the temperature will be starting to fall again that time.

Make sure you are well covered just because you never know what kind of mosquito or insect is waiting out there for you and they want your blood. There can be slippery and you can fall down and ruin your dress. So, Carry an extra cloth in a bag while outing. Do not forget to protect your body from the wild head to toe.

Ok, now we are trying to give you the basic idea of the fabric below which can assist you in finding the right cloth.

Pros and cons for different cloths:

Cotton:

Pros:

• Lightweight,
• Feels comfortable,
• Good for hot and dry weather.

Cons:

• Retain moisture,
• Does not dry quickly,
• Not good for cold and wet weather.

Synthetic and wool:

Pros:

• Wick moisture away from your body,
• Dry quickly,
• Preserve body temperature,
• Good for windy, cold, and wet weather.

Cons:

• Wool is more expensive than synthetic or other options,
• It is soft but you may find it itchy,
• Wash recommended before use.

Socks:

Synthetic and wool socks are better than cotton socks. Synthetic and wool socks are great at preventing blister as well as they wick away sweat from your feet but cotton socks may cause a soggy and blistered foot. Wool can be the choice for the extreme cold weather and synthetic is good almost in every session. You can use cotton socks but not while in outing at-least.

Hope you can choose the right cloth for your trip and have a safe, comfortable and wonderful trip.
