In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Camels have an odd, side-to-side gait that causes a lot of friction if you aren't prepared. And the last thing you want is rough, straw-like camel hairs grinding up and down your soft legs. Your socks should come up as high as you can get them since the motion often hikes your pants up uncomfortably. Other clothing essentials include:  A hat and sunglasses to protect your face from the sun. A long scarf or bandanna to protect your face in case of a dust storm. Dust goggles, especially if the forecast hints at possible storms. Don't look it in the eyes if you're nervous. Just stride up to it purposefully, coming from a diagonal angle. Unless you're a pro or have help, you're only going to mount the camel if the beast is sitting. With most guides and groups, the chance of agitating a camel is pretty low. However, there is no reason to take unnecessary risks. Getting on the camel is the hardest part of riding. Do it quickly, using your momentum as a guide. There is usually a stirrup on one side for your foot. Step up on this stirrup and get your other leg over and around.  You want to be straddling the camel to keep your balance as you start riding. Once the camel stands up you can then move your legs to get more comfortable. There will be a handle on the front of the saddle to help you hold on as you get up. Some people actually mount by "leapfrogging" from behind the camel. Trust your guide's judgment if he/she suggests this — they know their animals best. Camels stand up with their back legs first. If you're not careful, they'll throw you face first into their necks. Hold onto the saddle and lean back to counteract the camel's motion. Once it has a sure footing with the back legs, it will move to the front. Slowly lean forward as the camel pushes up so that you end up with your back straight.
Summary: Wear long pants and long socks to protect your skin. Approach the sitting camel from the side, slowly and confidently. Throw your leg over the middle of the humps and quickly mount it. Lean backward as the camel starts to stand. Slowly lean forward as it gets onto its front legs.

Problem: Article: Even in the summer, Ireland can be chilly. If you’re traveling during the winter, you will definitely need warm clothing. Rain is common in Ireland, so bring hats, raincoats, and hoodies. Make sure to bring a hat, jacket, socks, scarf, gloves, and comfortable shoes, along with your outfits and undergarments. Bring clothing that can be mixed and matched to avoid overpacking. Buy thermal clothing if you are traveling during winter. You can choose to pack or bring things like toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, razors, and other items. You will need to bring your passport, an adapter (Ireland does not have the same outlet as the US and other countries), health insurance information, your wallet, and driver’s license.  You should also bring any necessary medication in the bottles they were prescribed in. Make a list and check it off as you’re packing. You should bring at least one guide book with you. Guidebooks help you find attractions, eating recommendations, helpful information, some history, and advice for accommodation and travel if you need it. Some guidebooks are general, and some are made specifically for certain audiences. For example, you can find a guidebook made for students, but you can also find one aimed at families. Some guidebooks to choose from are Rick Steve’s Ireland 2016 (or whatever year you’re traveling), Lonely Planet Ireland, and Frommer’s Guide to Ireland. Backroads Ireland is a guide that comes with a map and gives advice for visiting the hidden gems of Ireland. It is helpful to keep a map or GPS system with you, especially if you’re driving. If you’re staying in one city, you can find a map of the city. If you’re traveling throughout Ireland, it is good to buy two maps. One map should be a map that is focused on roads. The second map should focus on site markings. Smartphones usually come with a GPS, but it can be very expensive to use your phone if you are outside of your own country. You can exchange your currency for Irish currency once you arrive in Ireland, but it is good to have some cash with you before you arrive. 100 euros or pounds is recommended. Northern Ireland uses the pound sterling, and the Republic of Ireland uses the euro. Get the currency for whatever part of Ireland you will be using first. After that, it is better to withdraw money from ATMs (cashpoints). The exchange rates vary a lot, and you get the best deal when you use your debit card to exchange money rather than going to an exchange place in the airport. Make sure to let your bank know where you will be traveling before you go. Many banks will allow you to set a travel notice on your phone. If you don’t, your bank may think your card was stolen and cancel it.
Summary:
Pack warm clothing. Pack any other necessary items. Get a guidebook. Buy a map or GPS system. Exchange your money for the proper currency.
