The fall is a fun time to get outdoors and have a great time with the people you love hanging out with. But your fall fun doesn't have to be limited to festivals, fairs, and fishing holes: there are plenty of ways to entertain right in your own backyard.
Whether you want to have an intimate gathering with the family or a blowout party with your neighbors and friends, we have some ideas in mind. Here are our top 5 fun fall backyard activities, which can also be adapted for gatherings of any size.
Backyard Movie Night
Grab the popcorn, drinks, candy, some outdoor portable chairs, and some blankets, and turn your backyard into a movie theater! If you have a laptop and a projector, you can stream one of the latest movies onto a portable screen, a sheet, or the side of a shed. Better yet, if you have a Sojag gazebo in your backyard, you can enjoy the open air, have a roof over your head, and attach a screen to the posts or the eave of the structure.
There’s nothing quite like spending time in the great outdoors and sleeping under the stars. But, if you’re not prepared, your amazing camping adventure can quickly turn into a nightmare.
While camping used to be all about “roughing it,” today, many people prefer casual camping or even “glamping” (luxury camping). While you can’t bring all the comforts of home with you, packing a few extras will help ensure you can comfortably enjoy your next trip.
Not quite sure what to bring camping? We’ve got you covered! Check out our round-up of all the most important camping must-haves.
Setting Up Your Campsite
Since you’ll spend a lot of time relaxing at your campsite, you’ll want to take the time to think about the layout and the camping must-haves you’ll need to bring with you. When setting up your campsite, it’s important to create a comfortable space to sleep in as well as a centralized area where everyone can gather and enjoy their time together.
Try to put as much space between these areas as you can. This way, if other people in your party are night owls or early risers, they won’t disrupt your sleep schedule. As you make your list of camping supplies, be sure...
If you’re looking for a fun and exciting new hobby, you might want to give fly fishing a try! It’s a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some time in the great outdoors. And, if you’re lucky, you might even catch your dinner!
What is fly fishing, and how is it different from regular fishing? We’re glad you asked! We've created this simple guide to explain the basics of this fun sport. We'll also review the gear you’ll need and discuss how to prepare for an unforgettable fly fishing getaway.
What is Fly Fishing?
Let’s start with the basics. What is fly fishing? It’s a special fishing technique that involves presenting bait, which looks like a fly, at the top or just below the surface of the water. While traditional “spin fishing” is usually done by casting bait out into the water and waiting for the fish to bite, fly fishing is far more active.
There’s a real art to learning how to fly fish. Most fly fishermen (and women!) enjoy challenging themselves to perfect their techniques and catch as many fish as possible. While fly fishing used to be primarily used to catch trout, today, people are using the technique to catch all kinds of fish.
While both spin fishing and fly fishing can be a lot of fun, fly fishing will get you more up-close and personal with nature. It’s a bit more difficult to learn, but, once you do, you’ll find that it’s one of the most rewarding sports out there.
