The best way to quiet your tears is with a beer and snack pairing guide that will help you forget the fact that your team missed the Sweet Sixteen.

March brings a lot of things and one of them is warm weather. We’re ready to break out of the stuffy indoors and into the fresh outdoor air. Come Spring, we just can’t wait to grab the tent and go camping.

We’ve gathered some most helpful tips from experience, and Greatist, to offer 3 major keys to a perfect camping trip.

• The Right Pack: If you’re gonna be doing a bit of hiking on your trip, you’ll want to make sure you have a pack that’s light and won’t weigh you down. If your trip is only a few days long, your best bet is to pick up a 60-80 liter pack.

• Catch some Z’s: All of that hiking and fishing is gonna wear you out, so it’s important to make sure you’ve got the proper sleeping bag and tent. You want a tent that is going to be weather resistant to, which means a “three-season” tent is your best bet of ensuring a good night’s sleep.

• Fuel: All this activity is gonna require some serious fuel. Make sure you have portable and filling snacks on hand that will keep you full during your outdoor adventure. Southern Recipe Pork Rinds are protein-packed and will fire you up during your high-intensity trek!

With Southern Recipe in hand you can easily turn your next family camping trip into a memorable tradition
