Plan Ahead, Set Up Your Own Food Storage While You Have Time

Thankfully for those having a willingness to prepare in advance, there’s time still on your side to plan, prepare and execute your own food storage plan. This will save you and your family from hunger, food shortages and extremely high prices if the economy suddenly falls apart. Being prepared beforehand, will allow your family to physically survive through hyperinflation itself.

This article will concentrate on the initial steps you and your family will need in preparing your personal Emergency Preparedness Supplies. The first part of any survival plan will be setting up and stocking up your food storage.

Food and other important items for survival such as clean water, prescription medications must be included in your family’s food storage. You should keep a minimum of 6 months on hand for you and your family this includes medications. When an economic event of this size occurs you’re going to have very long lines at stores. In fact chances are when you finally get to the stores if not before, they will already be out of everything. Expect the prices for items you buy during these times to be extremely expensive. Milk or eggs if you can get them, might cost $25.00 – $250.00 or more depending on the severity of inflation occurring at the time.

To set up your food storage you will want to find a suitable place within your home that’s preferably dry, cool, clean and level and does not have any direct sunlight such as a basement. It is important that you understand the cooler your storage area is the longer shelf life for your food. Heat will shorten the shelf life of many foods whether canned, vacuum sealed, freeze-dried or dehydrated. It is ideal if you have enough space to store a supply of food that will last you and your family at least 6 months. You and your family can rotate that food while in storage eating some and replacing it with a fresh supply as necessary, to maintain its shelf life.

Either purchase or construct suitable shelving and insure everything is level. It is also good to not keep foods directly on the ground, but at least 6 inches up in the event water floods the space from an outside leak, leaking plumbing, a broken water heater and so on. When it comes to stocking foods you can go inexpensive using canned foods which should give you a minimum of 2 years storage possibly more depending on temperature and storage conditions.

Canned Items – What To Stock Up On

Canned protein items such as beef, chicken, pork, tuna and salmon are good. Various canned vegetables, various canned fruits, canned or dried beans. Canned soups and soup stocks. Various powdered mixes for tacos, fajitas, pasta sauces, salad dressings gravy’s etc. Also don’t forget snack foods you and your family enjoy. Other items to include dry cereals, condiments such as salt, sugar non dairy creamer, pepper, hot sauce, mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce. Baking supplies powdered eggs, cheese and milk. You will want your favorite dried herbs and spices for cooking and flavoring too. If you have any infants insure to keep a good supply of formula and all necessary baby supplies.

Packing Your Own Bulk Foods By Vacuum Sealing

Pack your own food items you buy in bulk at cheaper prices from various club food stores. Use Mylar bags or heavy-duty plastic food storage bags. Add a couple oxygen absorber packets (available online) to remove oxygen within the sealed container and lengthen the freshness of the contents being sealed. Attach a small tube from a vacuum cleaner into one corner of the storage bag, to suck out all the air. Then while the bag is still collapsed run a hot iron over the top to heat seal it, removing the tube and quickly seal the corner with the iron. Many foods self packaged this way and stored in suitable plastic containers with tight-fitting lids will last 25 years. Packing noodles, rice, grains, beans, etc work well with this method.

Freeze Dried, Dehydrated Foods & MRE’s

For those who have a larger budget you can buy pre-dehydrated or freeze-dried meals usually with a 20 – 25 year shelf life. There are many meal variations for breakfasts and lunches or dinners individually pre-packaged or in bulk size cans and all you do is add water, in some cases hot water and eat. Military style MRE’s or meals ready to eat, are complete “soup to nuts” full course meals. Some available with chemical heaters but not necessary, can also be heated by placing the sealed pouch into boiling water or eaten cold if desired. MRE’s have a 4-10 year shelf life; depending on the temperatures they are stored in and are available in over 20 different menu varieties.

Budget? Keeping it Simple With The Bare Minimums

For those on a smaller budget only able to afford the bare minimums, there are several high energy dried items listed for this food storage option. You should keep a 6 month supply on hand if possible. While the selection here is more limited, these items will keep from spoilage with a lasting shelf life. So in times of need your family can still survive even on a budget.

Stock up on and dried meat such as jerky and canned meats such as tuna, salmon, chicken, pork, and beef. Also vegetables and fruits canned by either home canning methods or store-bought. Dried pastas, assorted beans, grains, rice, instant/dehydrated potatoes and oatmeal should be vacuumed sealed (see above). Storing raisins, dates, honey and peanut butter are also excellent.

Water is must not be overlooked, it is extremely important for human survival. Each person needs at least 3 quarts of clean drinking water per day and more if in warmer climates. For the longer term option it might be a good idea to purchase a high quality water filter and filter water from other sources as you need it. Especially if you don’t have storage space for large quantities of water.

No matter what the time of year, a guy is going to want to have sex – but cold winter months can sometimes make that challenging. Challenging, but far from impossible. Men who want better sex during the brutish weather months can do so, providing they are practicing good penis care – and take advantage of these handy dandy sex tips.

1. Make the bed inviting. One of the drawbacks to hitting the sheets during the winter is that they tend to be cold. Even when the bedroom temperature is fairly toasty, sheets tend to be significantly cooler than the air in the room. So to avoid shivering in the sheets, plan in advance. Put away the summertime bedclothes and bring out some warm flannel sheets instead. Then place a nice electric blanket on top, and turn it on at a modest setting for 5 or 10 minutes before snuggling into position with a partner.

2. Keep the shades up. If the bedroom is situated so that nosy neighbors can’t see in, raise the shades or open the blinds when engaging in some bed-based morning calisthenics or afternoon delight. Why? Sunlight can help to add warmth, but more importantly, sunlight helps boost testosterone production – making a man feel just that much friskier.

3. Hit the sheets before dinner. Often a couple plans on some playtime after dinner, but find themselves a bit sleepy when the meal is over. This is especially true during the winter, when meals tend to be a bit more filling and when the body may crave more rest. It may be better to have a little fling before dinner, so that both partners are more receptive to a little beastly action.

4. Find warmth in other places. A warm bed is great in the winter, but are there other places in the house that can keep away the winter cold while kindling the inner flames? If a man is lucky enough to have a working fireplace, he should definitely take advantage of that. In addition to the warmth, fires tend to bring out a partner’s romantic inclinations.

No fireplace? How about the kitchen? Putting a casserole in the oven and then whiling away the cooking time on a comforter on the kitchen floor can be a new experience. And for the adventurous, take advantage of the clothes dryer. When it’s set on high, it generates some heat on the outside as well – and perhaps more importantly, it provides some interesting vibratory patterns which can take lovemaking to a different level.

5. Indulge in tea. Hot tea helps warm the body up. Drinking a little hot tea before pleasuring a partner orally can make the experience especially hot for them. (Rumor has it that there is something in peppermint tea that adds a special tingle to oral sex, by the way.)

6. Encourage her to keep her feet warm. Sex tips aren’t always applicable to both genders. Nobody wants cold feet in bed, but for some reason, women whose feet are kept warm are supposedly more likely to achieve that elusive orgasm. So men who are interested in keeping their woman very happy on a cold winter’s night should encourage her to keep those socks on.

Sex tips, whether for winter, summer, spring or fall, should also encourage men to keep their penis in great condition. Daily application of a top drawer penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) can help achieve this goal. The wise man will select a crème that includes both vitamin B5 and D. Also known as pantothenic acid, vitamin B5 is required for proper cell metabolism and healthy penile tissue. And vitamin D is often called the “miracle vitamin” due to its contribution to fighting disease and supporting healthy cellular function. In any season, a good penis health crème is most welcome.

If you are planning on going on an African safari, the last thing you would want to do is spoil the trip right out of the chute by forgetting some essential things. Make yourself a list of things to do and check everything off as you go along. There are some important things to consider before you head to Africa.

You will want to wear comfortable, but protective clothing on your safari. Long sleeved shirts help protect your arms from the sun, and long pants will help protect you from mosquitoes. Wearing neutral colored clothing will help you blend in with the surroundings while you are admiring the wildlife, and will help to reflect the sun, keeping you cooler.

Remember, your transportation may not allow you to carry a lot of luggage, so be conservative. You may have to travel by a small plane or boat and not be able to carry more than a few pounds worth (maybe 20 or 25). Be sure your gear and clothing is packed in something waterproofed like a duffel bag. Most safari guide services recommend only 2 or 3 days worth of clothing be taken as there will be facilities to do laundry in most camps and lodges. If you are planning on being in any of the larger African cities with restaurants, they may require more ‘dressy’ attire, so take something appropriate.

Here are a few items you might want to take along on your African safari:

Clothing – sweater and jacket, raincoat, jeans, dress pants or skirts (if you plan on going into the city; you might even want to take a tie and some dress shoes), t-shirts, underwear, sports bra, sun protecting hats, socks, hiking shoes

Miscellaneous – large handkerchief or headband, oral hygiene supplies, hair care supplies, shaving gear, sun glasses, wash rag, plastic storage bags, sunscreen and insect repellent, medications for allergies, colds and headaches, flashlight, pocket knife, camera and film (this is important – don’t count on getting it there), batteries, small first aid kit, eye drops, lip balm

You should plan on visiting your doctor several weeks before your trip to make sure you have the vaccinations and medications you may need. There are some things you may be susceptible to in Africa that you want to guard against.

A Yellow Fever Vaccination Card is required for entry into Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Malaria prophylactics are advisable before entering into a malaria area (particularly Kruger). Malaria is spread by mosquitoes, so take other precautions, too. Avoid Bilharzia (caused by tiny parasites) by not swimming in stagnant rivers or streams.

If you are a non-resident of Africa, you will need a passport that does not expire for at least six months after your return home. Visas which are acquired before you travel are required in Egypt, Madagascar, Mozambique, and Tanzania. Visas can be obtained upon arrival in Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Also, plan on getting at least the minimum amount of travel insurance.

Many places outside of the African cities accept American currency as well as local currency. Also, take travellers cheques in small denominations for incidental expenses. Many establishments in the cities also accept international credit cards. Some banks have ATM machines where you can use an international credit card to obtain local currency. You will need to ensure you have some American cash for visas, airport departures, taxes, tipping, etc. Carry small denominations like $10 – $20 USD and plenty of $1 USD for tipping.

So, getting ready for your African Safari is a job in itself, but if you arrive prepared you will certainly have a much more enjoyable and hassle free trip.

It is our collective and individual responsibility… to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live – Dalai Lama

BMW cars have always been more than just automobiles. They are something like a Swiss Army knife; a finely crafted tool with everything you need for whatever the road throws at you. A BMW is a purpose built machine that you wear like a Robot Man suit, one so technically advanced; you need to be a rocket scientist to understand all its intricacies. To appreciate all that potential and to fully understand why BMW makes their cars this way; all you need to do is drive one.

With the world spiraling into a climate change abyss, and the future of petroleum about as secure as Lindsey Lohans next movie role, everyone is turning to greener vehicles. Hybrids and electric cars are no longer trendy toys, but have become a necessary and important cornerstone in the plan for freedom from oil. Once limited by bad technology and a microscopic range, the electric car is being reborn as a viable alternative to the beloved internal combustion engine. BMW has joined the fray with not just a new car, but an entire new car line. The BMW i8 Concept is the one of the first of a group of cars being produced by BMW i, a new sub-brand for the commercialization of low-emission (green) vehicles.

Along with the i8, BMW plans to introduce a convertible roadster version called the i8 Spyder, as well as a small electric hatchback called the i3. The i8 hybrid electric vehicles are designed to combine the sportiness of regular BMW cars, with the fuel economy of a small car. The design features a new BMW Vision Efficient Dynamic Concept which is an innovative plug-in hybrid that combines the modified electric drive system of the i3 Concept. The electric motor is fitted over the front axle with a rear mounted high performance three-cylinder combustion engine to extend range. The engine will act as an on-board generator and BMW promises acceleration of 0-62MPH in less than 5 seconds, along with an estimated 86MPG.

Key to this configuration is torque, which is available from a standing start and will give uninterrupted acceleration. The battery technology is based on ultra-powerful lithium-ion cells with an integrated liquid cooling system for ideal operating temperatures. The car can be charged from a domestic power supply system, and can drive 20+ miles on battery power alone. The architecture is known as LifeDrive, and is basically a weight-efficient layered approach to car design. The lower layer is the Drive section, which encompasses the chassis, battery array, powertrain, suspension, steering and brakes. The upper layer is the Life section, which is a carbon fiber reinforced plastic passenger cell. This is the first time carbon fiber is being used on a mass-market vehicle, and was developed here in the United States. The two sections are joined by just four bolts and industrial grade adhesive. Using this setup, BMW promises a low center of gravity, perfect 50/50 weight distribution and amazing handling.

The i8 is amazingly beautiful, with sweeping lines and a flat silhouette. It features a large transparent greenhouse (though I doubt the production version will remain unchanged) with doors that swing upwards like wings. The car is sculptural and organic, with a distinctive kinetic wedge shape and a forward-surging stance. From the front, the car has typical BMW design cues which are augmented by two U-shaped full-LED light configurations. There is also a black semi-transparent V that rises from the hood and offers a glimpse of the electric motor and carbon fiber Life cell. In the back there are three-dimensional air outlets, a massive rear diffuser and “floating” tail lights that match the U-shape headlights. Both the headlights and tail lights pulse like the heart of some futuristic monster and the effect is jaw-dropping.

Inside the i8 are large transparent surfaces in the doors and roof which gives each section of the car the appearance of merging together. The interior is finished in a layered design with a Porcelain White support structure, a black technical level and a comfort section finished in Mocha Brown. The effect is modern and comforting at the same time, and the dashboard and center console is clean of excessive buttons and switches. The instrument cluster is made up of a large display with information delivered in a three-dimensional high-resolution format. There is also a center mounted freestanding information display. The i8 is expected to be priced about $122,000 USD. Production is expected to start sometime in 2014.

Koh Samui, Thailand is the perfect, tropical island destination to immerse yourself in lush green coconut groves, surround yourself with white sands and submerse in crystal clear, azure blue waters. The large choice of Koh Samui villas now available for holiday rental hint at the recent shift in popularity from hotel accommodation to private villa rental. Why put up with crowded swimming pools, confined rooms and noisy neighbours?

Why rent a Koh Samui Villa?

Renting a villa gives you the space and privacy you need and offers much better value for money than hotel accommodation, especially when you work out the rental rate on a per room or per person basis. You can visit the supermarkets and stock-up the villa’s refrigerator with all the food you need for your stay and can prepare your own snacks, cook your own meals or alternatively rent a villa Chef for your stay. Relax by the pool and take a cooling dip without worrying about your personal belongings. Turn up the music or enjoy a movie on the villa home theatre system without offending your neighbours or even have your very own fireworks show in your villa’s private garden.

What kind of Koh Samui Villas are Available?

Koh Samui villas are available to suit every spending plan and every need. Starting at the lower end of the spectrum are 2 bedroom villas in their own private gardens with private pool, a mid-range option might be a 3 or 4 bedroom sea-view villa with luxurious interiors and a top end example would be a completely opulent and fully staffed 5 or 6 bedroom villa on the beach or hilltop with panoramic island and sea-views. The rental rates across this spectrum are typically around $100 – $3000 USD per night.

Where is the best location to rent a villa?

Most Koh Samui villa renters request villa options within about 15 minutes drive of Chaweng and the highest density of villas are in the touristic NE of the island, between Chaweng and Bophut. The North of the island around Maenam and Bang Por has many bargains to be found as rates are typically around 30% cheaper.

What villa services can I expect?

Generally the lower end villas are cleaned twice weekly with towels and bed linen provided and changed regularly. Mid-range villas are usually swept and tidied every day and at the top end there may be as many as 10 full-time staff including the villa manager, a personal Chef, waiters, cleaners and gardeners.

Homeowners are increasingly curious about the best option for heating, cooling, and lighting their homes. While the energy grid is a reliable source of electricity, many folks may not be happy with the high bills they are having to pay each month.

Solar panels for Devonport homes represent a way for Tasmanians to break free from that spending, as they take control of the way their home is powered.

Below is a guide to residential solar, which should help you pick the best solar panels for your home.

Solar Panel Costs

The specific price of a solar panel can vary based on many factors, such as size, model, time of buying, and various price promotions. On average, systems of 3kW cost between $3,000 to $5,000, while a 5kW system can run from $4,500 to $8,000.

If you have a large home, you may be interested in a 6.6kW or even a 10kW system. Those cost $5,000 to $9,000 and $8,000 to $12,000 respectively. Families who are unsure about the best sized solar panels in Devonport should ask a residential solar for their input.

Will The System Pay For Itself?

Many homeowners hear the line about how solar systems can pay for themselves. That can be true, depending on the cost of the system and how much money you save.

To start, Australians should not expect to pay upfront for such a system, as most solar system sellers offer payment plans with generous interest rates. That means you are not paying several thousand dollars at once, but spreading the cost over two to three years.

The average homeowner in Tasmania can expect a solar system to pay for itself over four to six years. Most of those savings are realised after you pay off the system, but most families should expect to experience some savings as soon as the system is set up.

What if I Use Energy in the Evening?

A solar system does not mean you can only use energy in the daytime, or that your home will be low on power during a week when it is very cloudy.

Modern solar panels work in conjunction with the energy grid, which means that you can always receive electricity as normal. Even if you have unused solar power from the daytime, you can sell it back to the grid for a specific rate.

Property Values

The final factor that should push a homeowner in the direction of installing a solar system is the increase in property value they will experience. If you compare two homes of similar characteristics and locations, the house with solar panels will have a higher asking price.

If you care about lowering your carbon footprint, hope to lower your reliance on the electricity grid, and wish to save money in the long-term, installing a quality solar panel system at your home is essential. These systems are lower in price than ever, and they will stay in place for many decades to come.

The name Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton are bywords of many people all through the walks of life. They are considered two of the greatest scientists of all time.

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879- April 15, 1955) was a German physicist. His contributions to Physics started in 1905 that includes: the explanation of the Brownian motion in terms of Molecules, the explanation of photoelectric effect in terms of quantum in which he received a Nobel Prize and the Special Theory of Relativity that has become a major tool of Modern Physics. He also developed General Relativity Theory that was more accurate than of Newton’s.

Albert Einstein’s equation E=mc² (Energy = mass times the speed of light squared) paved the way for the creation of the first atomic bomb. Though he condemned the use of it, President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved the plan for an all out effort in atomic bomb. By the first week of August in 1945, the two bombs “The Little Boy” (Hiroshima Bomb) and “The Fat Man” (Nagasaki Bomb were already dropped, making a history. Einstein regretted what his invention has caused. He was considered one of the fathers of atomic bomb.

Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was an English physicist, mathematician, alchemist and natural philosopher. He was considered to be the greatest genius the world has ever known. His works in optics, gravitation and motion, corpuscular theory of light represents the greatest achievement of the time.

In his written study entitled Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica that was published in 1687, he described the three laws of motion and the universal gravitation. The discovery of Johannes Kepler of the three fundamental laws of planetary motion, which described the Copernican Theory, was only understood when Isaac Newton discovered the Laws of Gravitation and motion. He also described the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum.

Newton invented the reflecting telescope and developed a theory of color based on his observation that a prism decomposes with light into a visible spectrum. He formulated a law of cooling and studied speed of sound. This great scientist also demonstrated the Generalized Binomial Theorem, which developed the “Newton Method”. He also shared credits in the development of the calculus with Gottfried von Leibniz.

Sir Isaac Newton also devised a numerical equation to verify his ideas about gravity. He called it inverse square law of attraction, which states that the force of gravity is related to the inverse square of the distance between the two objects

The year 1666 was the peak of Newton’s achievements. He has this crucial experiment that became his most famous experiment, the experimentum crucis. This demonstrated the theory of the composition of light. This explains that a selected color leaving the first prism could not be separated by the second prism. He then had a conclusion made that white light is a Heterogeneous mixture of differently refrangible rays and that colors of the spectrum cannot individually be modified by themselves, but are original and connate properties. Newton has failed in his dynamics experiments in three periods of time; first during plague in 1664-1666, the investigations of 1679-1680, and the period 1684-1687. His masterpieces were written in three different books. He also pursued some other researches in alchemy and science. However, his nonscientific writings were being neglect by some historians.

Before his death Newton had refused the sacrament. It was believed that the reason of this gesture was because he was a Unitarian.

You never forget your first bike, right? If you’re thinking of getting a bike for your favorite child this year, make it an awesome a memory.

The outdated boring tricycle of our childhood has been replaced by new trikes that are much safer and have cooler accessories. The old red tricycle of times past is still a favorite but it has grown up. Generally speaking, tricycles are substantially safer and have more bells and whistles – literally – than the bikes we had. If you plan to give a trike as a gift for your child this year, here are some things to know as you make your selection.

1. Anti-Tipping

The leading criticism about some of the new styles of trikes is how easily it is to tip over. While some bicycles are constructed with handlebars shaped with a rounded curve, other tricycles are created with a straight-across design. A child who is riding a bike for the first time might not realize how much effort it takes to steer the bike. The child could unintentionally over correct and turn too far to the other side, thus tipping the bike to one side. Then, if the child loses confidence, they might lean too much and make contact with the ground.

Some bicycle designers are well aware of this simple fact when they plan new models. They will typically design the tricycle to have a lower center of gravity or will have a wider wheel base. A curved or longer handlebar is one fix that can be made. The modifications have made it simpler for the bike to remain upright. Though counter-intuitive, a bike is easier to control if it is moving.

2. Inexpensive Plastic or Welded Steel?

The bicycles from our childhood that still exist were in all likelihood made from steel, not plastic. Heavy steel. This durability created a bicycle that could tolerate the rigors of years of use. Radio Flyer was one of the very first companies to use the hollow steel construction in mass produced bicycles, offering strength without adding a lot of extra weight. Throughout World War II the use of plastics increased and many kids toys were converted to plastic as well.

Bicycles and trikes were redesigned to a plastic version but they couldn’t compete with the quality of a steel frame. The classic “Big Wheel” was an example of that. If you’ve even been fortunate enough to see a 20 year-old Big Wheel, it most likely didn’t look like it survived the decades very well. The modern-day steel bicycles are strong and durable while still being lightweight enough for a child to manage. The best choice in a bike or trike is steel construction, good quality rubber tires and a comfortable seat.

3. Additional Options

What tends to make a bike cool is the amenities and accessories. Kids aren’t the only ones who really like accessories; we grown ups really like our fancy add-ons, even if it means shelling out a few extra dollars. Youngsters are the same. They want the cool colors, tires, streamers, bells and lighting. There’s barely a manufacturer that doesn’t also include things like wire mesh storage baskets and toy GPS devices for their bikes.

Speaking of GPS units, I’ve heard of some parents getting a tracking unit that is permanently connected to the bike as an additional safety benefit.

4. Helmets

When riding a bike, a youngster should always wear an authorized safety helmet. Numerous devastating brain injuries result from simple tumbles from a bicycle. Those of us from a prior generation rode bicycles all day long without helmets! I’m in that group as well. That being said, our technology is much better now and while the chances are tiny that it will be your child who gets seriously harmed, it’s not worth the risk. It will give you great satisfaction if you know your child has the best protection you can provide them.

Dream big and get that amazing brand new bike to place next to the Christmas tree! Go to your local hobby store and pick up the largest red bow you can find. Tie it to the handlebars and watch the magic happen!

There’s more ways to enjoy the family RV than simply taking it on the road during the warmth of Summer Sun and Winter RV Camping holidays are a great option for those that like to explore cooler family time possibilities while on the go! The chief reason for the rise in popularity of winter RV camping is that the huge crowds that summer camping sites have on them, which can be hassle-some experience for many families that feel overwhelmed by large teeming numbers at a holiday spot to really enjoy the space a camping experience should ideally afford. For such families, the idea of a planning out a winter RV camping trip is the best way to go and the right camping gear fits in just fine with the rest of the plan.

The most fun-filled and winning winter RV camping gets a boost from choosing the right RV for the season as a smaller vehicle has the advantage of keeping the heat in and passengers warm as opposed to the gigantic 45′ counterparts. Once you have worked out the logistics of making your winter holiday a safe and successful one, its not too difficult to consider how hard it may be to maneuver on slippery cold roads when guiding a truck and trailer or the camper shell as opposed to driving along a big, lumbering motor-home! So, practicality, above all other features, is most essential in making your winter RV camping trip a smashing success, don’t forget!

Do find out about the specialized RVs that are more suited for braving colder climes as they have high-grade insulation to provide extra protection when traveling through extreme weather conditions that consist of chilling winds and toe-numbing night-travel. Packing weather-appropriate camping equipment will ensure your winter RV camping experience is a well-thought out and carefully planned one, giving you great holiday memories.

You may want to consider looking up camping grounds that afford you electrical hook-ups in the winter as not all campsites offer this facility off-season so for those with RVs that are need extra heating capacity to keep passengers safe and warm, you may want to buy a generator to juice-up the temp! A bit of market research is called for here, so you determine by cross-comparison of various models which is the most efficient and functions best in specific temperatures so you get the right one to meet your winter travel needs.

Besides the above, do pay close attention to the kind of winter RV clothing you take along: boots, clothing, sports gear and add-ons for snow-bound areas besides extra pairs of trekking shoes (if you’re planning on the hiking) are ideal extra gear you can take with you so you’re not short on stuff should some get wet!

Food is the last, but most important item on your winter RV camping trip checklist and do remember to store adequate supplies of long-lasting food products, just in case you are stranded in unexpected weather or travel conditions as it pays to be safe!

Those who come to the Bahamas instinctively know they’ve stepped onto a piece of paradise, one that will stay with them long after they’ve left it. The Bahamas is the ‘land of 700 islands’, each strikingly beautiful in its untouched wilderness, aquamarine waters, shimmering beaches, and blessed with glorious sunshine and cooling tradewinds all year round. Each of these islands and cays is also strikingly unique in their marine and wildlife and their culture. While Nassau is a vibrant city where tourists can live it up, the Bimini islands are some of the most enchantingly desolate places you will visit. On some of the inhabited islands you can go snorkelling and deep sea diving, while on still others you can explore hidden cays and pools along beaches no one else would have ever walked. And there cannot be a better way to experience the surprises Bahamas has to offer, than with your private Bahamas yacht charter.

With a luxury Bahamas yacht charter you can leisurely experience as much of the Bahamas as you want and for as long as you want it. A luxury yacht charter will offer you all the convenience and comfort of a hotel, while letting you take in all of the Bahamas. You could wake up to vistas of the most mesmerizing blue waters ever seen, lounge on sun decks or sun-kissed beaches all day long and dine underneath twinkling Caribbean skies – all in the safety and luxury of your very own floating suite, replete with a private, professional staff to wait on you.

A yacht charter of the Bahamas is the best way to experience the unique biodiversity of these islands, specifically that of The Exumas – the jewel of the Bahamas. Sail into Staniel Cay, where other boaters and yachters come to mingle and relax; take your time exploring the majestic 176 square miles of the Exumas Land and Sea Park; and snorkel and feed the friendly fish in the ‘ThunderBall cave of the James Bond movie fame. And of course, when all this is done, you can sail to the main island of Great Exumas to dine at any of island’s authentic restaurants, or relax at the many beach bars, or spend a luxurious night at the many five star resorts that blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of the Exumas.

Yet, with a private charter yacht, there is no reason to stop at popular islands like the Exumas or the Grand Bahama. Let the explorer in you take over as you make your way to the lesser explored jewels like Rum Cay/San Salvador, Great Inagua, Mayaguana or the Berry Islands. Rum Cay and San Salvador are hidden beauties of the Bahamas, untouched by tourists (expect the few lucky ones with a yacht). Experience what it feels like to be the only ones in the world as you explore the many shipwrecks, monuments and serene beaches that dot these islands.

A Bahamas yacht charter is also the most effective way to realize the exciting prospect of sailing in the Bahamas. The natural trade winds make the Bahamas a haven of sailing enthusiasts, and regattas and races are held throughout the year. The harbours at Nassau and Grand Bahama are some of the best in the world, and the cities themselves are well connected to the US and the UK by air.

A place as refreshing as the Bahamas needs to be enjoyed in the right spirit – that of a carefree wanderer who has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. And the way to do this without compromising on comfort is with a luxury Bahamas charter.
