Spring is finally and officially here, which means it’s time to get out and adventure once again. The mountains are thawing and spring foliage is making a valiant effort to sprout up. If your outdoorsy side is just itching to get out of your apartment and breathe in the fresh nature air, here are a few great outside activities for you to enjoy.
Camping
Fun Gear and Gadgets for Your Next Camping Trip
People try and make camping so complicated. They think they need to bring their entire bedroom and kitchen in order to have a good time, but to be honest the less hassle the better. A tent or hammock, a sleeping bag, a way to make fire, and a tinfoil dinner is all you need to have a fabulous camping trip with a few friends.
Hiking
Must-Have Gear for Your Bucket List
Getting out and hiking is a wonderful way to stretch your legs and breath in some fresh air. Make sure you use the buddy system and stay on the trail so your adventure into the wilderness will be accident-free.
BBQ
8 Great Gifts for Every Guy
If you do a BBQing party you can have everyone bring an item or two. That way it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to have great food with fabulous company. Most apartment complexes offer patio grills so it shouldn’t be hard to find somewhere to cook your meat. Also, to keep the event stress free, try sticking with easy BBQing options. Grilling up steaks for an entire party of people probably isn’t worth the effort you’re going to have to put into it.
Campfire/bonfire
Campfires don’t have to include food, but a bag of marshmallows, some graham crackers, and a few chocolates can go a long way to make a group happy. Encourage your musically include friend to bring along their guitar so you can enjoy a few silly songs by the glow of the fire.

Slacklining
