How to Avoid Plant and Insect Stings and Bites In Your Backyard

How to avoid plant and insect stings and bites in your backyard because nothing spoils a fun summer day outdoors quite like nasty stings. Certain plants, such as stinging nettle, can cause a painful sting, and of course insects from bees to mosquitoes can bite and sting. Here are some tips on avoiding these unpleasant encounters.

1. Long pants
Clothing is the best protector. Even though it’s often hot in the summer, wearing long pants of thin material helps protect your legs from being exposed to stinging plants or insects.

2. Socks

The Environmental Impact of Building Campfires How to Campfire Safely

The environmental impact of building campfires how to campfire safely, while building a campfire seems like a natural way to enjoy the wilderness. And campfires are cozy and delightfully primitive. However, they can be potentially damaging or dangerous.

What impact can campfires have on the environment?

Campfires can get out of control. Man-made forest fires and wildfires do enormous amounts of environmental damage each year. And these types of fires are entirely preventable.

When a fire rages out of control, animal and plant life are lost. Entire habitats are destroyed. While nature did account for some natural fires to occur (and in fact, some plants and animals thrive in burned areas), man-made fires can occur in areas not intended by nature to experience burning.

Is Clothing With UV Protection Worth Buying Good and Bad Points to Consider First

Is clothing with UV Protection worth buying good and bad points to consider first, and first of all, lets begin with the fact that all clothing protects you from the sun to a certain degree. UV protective clothing, however, has a specific, protective scale similar to that of sunscreen. A lot of UV protective clothing actually contains sunscreen that is embedded in the fabric itself. Other garments are said to be UV protective due to their specific weave, color, and/or reflective nature.

SPF and UPF are acronyms you will become familiar with as you look into UV protective clothing. SPF stands for “sun protection factor,” and it’s the same as what you see on lotion, sunscreen, and other topical sun protectors. SPF is measured by how long it takes for your skin to turn red in the sun.

UPF stands for “ultraviolet protection factor” and refers specifically to the amount of UV radiation that can go through fabric and burn your skin. Therefore, you are going to see UPF and protection factor more frequently in reference to UV protective clothing.

If you are considering purchasing this clothing with uv protection, here are some good and bad points to consider first. Continue reading “Is Clothing With UV Protection Worth Buying Good and Bad Points to Consider First” »
