camping packing lists Home
A complete camping packing list will save you time and energy when it comes time to pack for your camping vacation. If this is your first time camping trip, you can use this guide to assist you in assembling a long list of the supplies that you will need once you get to your campsite. A fundamental camping list can be found via the internet but they generally have to be altered to suit your particular style of camping. Some people like the bare necessities when camping. Others go so far as glamor camping - glamping - taking along many of the luxuries found at home. Most of us land somewhere in the middle. Whatever your personal style of camping it is a good idea to start a camping list well ahead of your departure date and add to it daily as supplies spring to mind. Essential Camping Equipment  When it comes to basic camping gear a tent is high on the list. The kind and size tent your family will need is dependent upon the number of individuals in your family or camping group. Some people enjoy two smaller tents to accommodate a big group, while others select a large family tent. The Cougar Flats 2 is the option of many families because it is a superb quality two room tent. Other basic camping gear includes sleeping bags, sleeping pads, flashlights, extra batteries lanterns. Preparing Meals A propane stove is great to take along camping. Fire it up in the morning for coffee and eggs and bacon. Many campers would rather use a campfire to prepare their meals on. This video will give you some ideas of how to prepare meals on a campfire. Personal Care Items The personal care items you use everyday need to make it on to your camping list - things such as shampoo, soap, washcloths and towels. Other personal things such things as sun screen and bug repellant will likely be on your camping list as well. In the event that someone is hurt or becomes ill a first aid kit is important to have on hand. Basic supplies like band aids, pain killers, gauze, cotton pads and antiseptic cream are all part of a first aid kit. Other items that your family may need may be allergy medication as well as other prescribed medications. Favorite Pastimes Many of us go camping so we can enjoy a nearby lake or river. Often times boating is a part of this enjoyment. Make sure to add to your list all the items needed to enjoy your favorite pastimes - canoes, rafts, and fishing gear. At the campsite, cards and board games are a good way to spend time with friends and family. The initial camping packing list is easily the most difficult to get together. When you find yourself at the campsite, if you've forgotten anything it will be obvious and you will add these to your list for your upcoming camping vacations. Eventually you'll have your entire camping gear stowed away in handy containers and when it is time you go camping again, all you will need throw together will likely be just food and clothing. |
