A spot of white sun breaking through the thin tent walls, the crisp, warm air against your skin, the distant chirp of birds unbroken by cars passing on a street. Waking up free from exhaustion and deadlines with your friends in neighboring green and blue tents. You might be aching for a summer camping trip experience with your friends, but before you crack a six pack and dive head first into Oregon’s crystal blue waters, take some tips with you for smoother travels.

Yurts? Car camping? Tent camping?

Backpacking? Making the right choice.

There’s many types of camping that range from least planning and tools required to the most involved. Yurts are a great option for very low-key camping. Yurts are tent-like facilities, often with water hookups, beds, lighting and sometimes heating. However, they’re often more expensive than tent camping and closer in proximity to other campers.

Car camping or tent camping is slightly more time consuming. While there may be waste deposits nearby the site or a toilet, there’s less likely to be a water hookup. However, you can pitch your tent close to the car and have easy access to all your belongings. This is a great, cheap option for the night before a big hike.The backpacking experience involves the most planning of the four. A water purifying device, decent backpacking pack, food and sleeping supplies will all need advanced planning and can be more expensive. For beginners, take a backpacking class offered at UO and do your first trip with them.

PRINCIPLE

1

Plan ahead. Advanced planning saves time, money and in some rare cases, you.

Group safety is extremely important. By planning what you’ll need, how you’ll do it and who will know about your trip you’ll be safer and better prepared to just enjoy your time. See the “How to Plan a Spring Break Trip” article in our March Essentials Guide for more tips on planning your trip.

4

PRINCIPLE Don’t take things out.

LNT discourages the removal of rocks, plants, or anything that someone may want to take as a souvenir that they found on a trail. Take photos instead.

Free or for rent? A tip on camping permits.

Most camping that’s available on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) sites are free.

However, that also means that they often do not provide restrooms, showers, water hookups or waste disposal. If you’re looking for more amenities, you might want to try a paid camping site. The good news is, U.S. Forest Service sites are often very cheap, ranging from $5 to $12 in most areas. Plus, your money is going to an underfunded government agency that manages and takes care of beautiful public land. Some camping sites can be booked in advance on reserveamerica.com. These sites will often be high traffic, particularly in the summer months, so it’s a good idea to book in advance.

LNT (leave no trace)

The ethical philosophy of camping and outdoor exploration is one of the most important guidelines to follow on any trip. Here’s a summary of the 7 Principles from the Center for Outdoor Ethics. Leave no trace, in essence, is about protecting the beautiful places you’ve set out to see...

PRINCIPLE

2

Stay on the trails. Almost everywhere you go there are designated places for camping and hiking, and they’re made that way for a reason. Sticking to the trails and posted camping areas protects the fragile plants and ecosystems you’re exploring.

5

PRINCIPLE Make responsible fires.

Most campsites allow campfires, with the exception of peak fire times. Always check the local fire regulations before going on your trip, and mind Smokey the Bear.

PRINCIPLE

PRINCIPLE

3

Pack it out. Everything you bring in the camp, should come out with you. If the ecosystem didn’t produce it, then it doesn’t belong there. This means trash, food waste, and in some cases, human waste.

6

Respect the wildlife. More often than not, the wildlife has no intent to hurt you.

But that doesn’t mean they won’t. Remember, you’ve come into their house. Read up on the resident wildlife in the area you want to camp and how to be responsible in their habitats, so you don’t scare them and they won’t scare you. Keep in mind, black bears are different from brown bears, and both are wildly different from cougars. Always know the species.

7

PRINCIPLE

Respect other visitors. Noisy, disruptive, messy visitors can really ruin a serene camping trip. Be aware of those around you. If you wouldn’t want them doing something, then don’t do it either.

the ultimate vegan bbq Few things say “summer” quite like a barbeque. Sunshine, food, friends - what’s not to love? Unfortunately, there’s one thing that can might prevent some of your friends coming to a barbeque: meat. Many vegetarians and vegans go hungry because they have so few options, and get stuck hoarding the grilled corn or nursing a bag of chips. To make sure everyone gets stuffed, try making few of these classic barbeque staples that both your omnivorous and animal-product-free friends can enjoy!

1 cup vital wheat gluten (get it in bulk at WinCo) 2 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 tbsp smoked paprika 2 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder Black pepper ¾ cup vegetable broth 2 tbsp peanut butter 1 tsp liquid smoke 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 cup barbecue sauce of choice, plus more for serving

WHAT YOU DO

WHAT YOU NEED

SEITAN BBQ RIBS 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8 baking dish.

2. In a bowl, combine vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, paprika, onion and garlic powder, and pepper.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together broth, peanut butter, liquid smoke and soy sauce.

4. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and combine to form a soft dough. Knead gently for 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Flatten the mixture into the greased baking dish. Use a knife to make one lengthwise cut across the dough, then cut evenly crosswise to make 1-inch slices. This will make it easy to separate the ribs after grilling.

6. Bake in oven for 25 minutes. Heat up your grill or lightly oil a grill pan.

7. Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce. Place sauce side down on heated grill or grill pan. Brush the top with more sauce. Grill until deeply browned, about 5-6 minutes, on each side.

take a day trip!

Words By Kimberly Harris

The majority of students flee home for the summer, putting campus life on pause and making Eugene a little bit quieter. If you’re staying in Eugene for whatever reason, it can be easy to feel cooped up if you don’t know what to do. The list below will help give you a few ideas of day trips to take in the area — all you need is some gas money or your student ID for a bus pass.

ALTON BAKER PARK

Just a 5-minute drive from campus, Alton Baker Park is perfect for either a quick outing or a day trip in the sun. The park offers bike trails, a dog park and secluded areas next to the water. Walk down the trail next to the river and keep a lookout for footpaths on the side that will lead you down to a spot to post up with a blanket and a cooler full of your favorite drinks and snacks right next to the water.

FERN RIDGE RESERVOIR

A place I’m checking out this summer is Fern Ridge Reservoir. The lake spot offers a place for water recreation such as swimming, fishing and boating - if you’ve got one or feel lucky enough to make friends with people there who have one. The reservoir being a 30-minute drive from campus offers another body of water to touch if you get sick of the Willamette or Mckenzie as well as a place to camp or hike.

ARMITAGE PARK CAMPGROUND

For anyone looking to camp, but wants to stay close to home, Armitage Park Campground is a 15-minute drive from campus. The campground sits next to the Mackenzie River, offers tent sites, facilities, recreation parks and trails for day use or an easy camping experience.

Being one of the closest trips to the beach, Florence is an hour and 15-minute drive from campus. Make a day trip out of chilling on the beach, splashing in the freezing Pacific Ocean and visiting coastal shops.

FLORENCE BEACH

MOUNT PISGAH ARBORETUM

Pack a lunch, your swimsuit and wear a good pair of hiking shoes to be ready for a day outdoors.

The Willamette River runs through Mt. Pisgah and offers a place to chill next to the water on a hot day. If you need to stay dry, there is also a hiking trail that takes you around a forest and wetlands.

With Mt. Pisgah being a 15-minute drive from campus it’s an easy way to escape the city for a natural landscape.

RULES OF THE RIVER Words By Lucille Shadburne | Photos By Lauren Bruce Summer is a prime time for people to spend time outside with their friends and soak up the sunshine, and there’s no better way to hang out than while floating down a beautiful river. However, before you throw your bathing suit on and grab the nearest thing that floats, check out these tips on how to have the safest and most enjoyable experience possible.

BRING A STOCKED BEACH BAG

do doNT do doNT do doNT

Forgetting essentials such as sunscreen and water will make the end of the floating trip memorable in not a fun way.

COMPLETELY ZONE OUT

During your float, it’s important to pay attention to what’s going around you. You don’t want to get stranded and have your float cut short because of a deflated inner-tube. Make sure to watch out for shallow areas, strong currents, or sharp objects sticking out from the riverbank.

BRING A LIFE JACKET Although it may not be the most fashionable contribution to your ensemble and yes, it may limit the amount of tan you can get, but it’s important to at least bring one.

DRINK OR SMOKE BEFORE OR WHILE FLOATING THE RIVER

While although it may seem like a fun idea, it’s also a dangerous one. Alcohol and related substances impair your decision-making skills, which is not something you want if you were to come across a dangerous or complicated situation while on your float. Along with this, DUI laws apply to the water as well.

VISIT THE OUTDOOR PROGRAM AT THE EMU

At the University of Oregon Outdoor Program, they will be able to provide you with advice on specific places on different rivers to visit based on your skill and whether you’re inner-tubing or boating.

M O N D AY,

BRING ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD BE SAD TO LOSE

It’s somewhat common for things to get lost, broken, or stolen while at the river. It’s easy for things to fall on rocks; to get dropped in the water and sink or get swept away with a current. You can also sometimes get distracted with managing floating devices and not notice someone on the beach grabbing something you left unattended.

JUNE 10 2019

NOT SURE WHERE TO GET STARTED? Here’s some beginner-friendly floats around town to get your feet wet.

willamette

For an easy inner-tube float, the Outdoor Program recommends the Willamette and it’s lazy-river style rapids. If you put in at Island Day Park and get out at the bridge that leads to Autzen stadium, you will have a relaxing experience on that calm stretch of river.

Another good stretch to do for a river float is between Harvest Landing and Armington Park on the McKenzie River. It’s a pretty slow-going, popular stretch located in the Springfield-Eugene area. On this stretch, there is a lot of wildlife to gape at while you glide along.

sandy

Mckenzie

While it is a bit of a drive, the Sandy River is a popular spot for river floating. Located near Portland, Oregon, the Sandy gets flooded with people escaping the sweltering summer weather.

The recommended stretch to take is from Oxbow Park to the Lewis and Clark College area.

HOW TO LOSE THE

LOBSTER LOOK Words By Lucille Shadburne | Photos By Lauren Bruce Summer is the season for fun in the sun. While Oregon is known for its rainy weather, once summer is here, it is dominated by heat waves and cloudless days. People are drawn to the lovely weather, but some of us feel like we have to stay inside to avoid the burn that can come with it. No one wants a farmer’s tan or to rock the lobster look—and peeling and stinging skin isn’t fun either. In this article, we will give you some tips to help you enjoy your days outside and avoid the painful aftermath. If you have a sunburn already, we’ll also provide guidance on how to salvage your skin.

Sunscreen We have all grown up with our parental figures saying, “don’t forget your sunscreen!” to the point where it might feel like a chore applying it before leaving the house. Now that we’re off on our own and fully responsible for ourselves, it’s up to us to heed that warning. Sunscreen is one of the best ways to prevent from getting burned. To ensure safety from the sun, check the expiration date on your sunscreen bottle—if it’s been in the back of your closet for three years, it’s probably no longer useful. Another thing you can do is try to buy SPF based off your skin type. A somewhat universal strength is 30 SPF, however, if you have very pale skin, higher SPF like 50 will protect you better; if you’re naturally very tan, lower SPF like 15 or 20 will still be able to help prevent you from burning. To make sure that your sunscreen does its job, apply your sunscreen 15 minutes before going out in the sun, and make sure to reapply it every two hours.

sun evasion Seeking out shade and avoiding the sun during its peak hours are other ways to avoid the sun’s wrath. According to the website psico.com—a company specializing in providing products for sensitive skin care—the sun’s peak hours are between 10am and 2pm. Along with this, if you sit in the shade, that’s a great way to get outdoors without overheating or getting fried by the sun’s rays. Hats are also a great form of protection. Some of the most susceptible areas to sunburn are your face, ears and back of your neck. Big sun hats do a great job of shielding you while also serving as a fashionable accessory.

softening the sting Sunburns can be very painful and are never pleasant to deal with. To make the experience of getting a sunburn as painless as possible, make sure to apply loads of aloe. Aloe vera is fairly common as a tool of relief for sunburn pain, but there are also some other creative solutions you can use to make the healing period as painless as possible. Usually when you get a sunburn it feels like heat radiates from your skin, something you can do to calm this sensation is taking ibuprofen or aspirin (anti-inflammatories) or taking a cool shower or bath. The ibuprofen helps reduce the swelling and the cold water helps lower your body temperature. It’s also very important to be drinking a lot of water while you have a sunburn, because water in your body is concentrated towards the part of your body that are sunburnt, and it’s easy to get dehydrated.

Preventing the peeling Some people only use aloe vera when treating their sunburns and end up with peeling skin. While aloe vera is a healing treatment for sunburns, it isn’t a one and done type of situation. Check out after-sun lotions from brands like Sun Bum or Banana Boat for soothing creams and salves that will suck the heat out of your skin and add moisture. Other things you can do to prevent the peeling are pat drying yourself after a shower or bath, leaving your skin a little damp, and sticking to lotioning yourself religiously. The best way to make sure you are keeping your skin welllotioned is to lotion first thing in the morning, every time after you shower and every night before bed. Another classic hydrating pantry staple you can use for your skin is coconut oil. It is known to work wonders in the ways of moisturizing and is the best tool for evading serious skin peeling.

TRAVELLING VOLUNTEERS THE INNERWORKINGS OF VOLUNTOURISM & WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. Words By Skyla Patton

We’ve all seen the posters and handouts plastered around campus: building a school in Taiwan, digging wells in South Africa or reading to orphans in Latin America.

While these are all worthy causes, most of them are often paired with an unfortunate aspect of new-wave volunteering: tourism. Ride elephants after you build a school, touring villages destroyed by apartheid or feasting on a five star lunch down the road from the orphanage.

While volunteering is a surefire way to better the world and communities around you, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with craving visiting new parts of the world, it’s important to be aware of how voluntourism can hurt more than harm and be educated in choosing your volunteer programs and organizations. Here’s some important things to know and resources to utilize in choosing where you’d like to spend next Spring Break volunteering.

LEARN HOW TO SEPARATE YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE FROM YOUR VACATIONS. It’s amazing to give back to people or places, and just as cool to go abroad or visit a place you’ve never been before, but it’s crucial to understand the difference between the two. Programs that offer two or three week long vacations with a day or two of volunteering often are taking advantage of marginalized communities or environments and may not be as helpful as they seem at face value. Before you sign up for a program, research the details of the “project” you’ll be working on and make sure it actually benefits the people or environment.

ASSESS YOUR SKILLS AND MAKE SURE THEY’RE NEEDED. While it may sound thrilling to tour the beautiful landscapes of a country outside the US while building a well — ask yourself, am I equipped to do this job? If you’re a skilled mason, maybe building that school or well is the perfect assignment for you, but if you never put together that IKEA chair, maybe it’s time to take a seat. There are a wide range of service projects available, abroad or not, so do research on the project and what will be asked of you and make sure your skill set will be beneficial. If it’s not, there is probably a different or more local opportunity for you.

KEEP YOUR VOLUNTEERING INTERSECTIONAL. ALWAYS. Most voluntourists have their hearts in a good place, but it’s crucial we are always asking ourselves if what we’re doing is intersectional and beneficial for people across the board. Many volunteer programs abroad take advantage of disadvantaged communities or people and have transitioned into a sort of business opportunity rather than charity assistance. Reflect on what you’ll be doing during your trip and make a list: write down everything that is beneficial for only you or your volunteer-mates, and what is beneficial for the community or area you’re in. If the first list outweighs the second, it’s probably better to find a different program.

DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE CHARITY OR PROGRAM. A quick google search will answer all of these questions and more. Most programs offer reviews or detailed itineraries where you can browse what the trip will entail. Along with this, sites such as Charity Navigator track how nonprofits use their funds and programs so you can directly see if the organization you’re working with is doing what they say they’re doing.

TO KEEP IT SIMPLE: KEEP YOUR VOLUNTEERING LOCAL. The easiest way to avoid problematic voluntourism: give back to your local community or surrounding areas. If you’d like to help communities outside of your own, donate via online services or research other ways to give back digitally without contributing to the use and abuse of communities abroad.
