September 8, 2009 at 8:07 pm Leave a comment
In my many years of camping two questions always come up. What should I pack ? and Do I need a list? Below is a list of items that are a must for camping,, I suggest putting them into a spreadsheet and checking them off when packing for your camping trip.
-Tent- this may seem obvious but I can’t tell you how many tents are sold at a huge markup at the campsite.
-Sleeping bag or Blankets for each person- Also any pad or air mattress that would make your sleeping on the ground more comfortable.
-Tarps and bungee- I always put a tarp under the tent and above the tent. It saves the tent floor and keep you dry.
-Camp Stove or Grill- Some people like to cook over the fire so you can bring a grill that sits over the fire but I prefer a Propane or Butane grill.
-A set of dishes and silverware- You also need a wash bin with bio degradeable dish soap and brushes.
-Pot,pans,coffee pot- anything that you need to cook
-Table cloth, food saver containers and condiments-Don’ t forget the spices
-Camping chairs or stools- anything you need to sit on.
-Food and snack- Plan out your meals by day(Buy all your produce locally-it’s good for the planet and it just tastes better, Don’t forget the ingredients for the Smores
-Board games, Videos, Chess, checkers, Sports balls,- Anything for indoor and outdoor entertainment
- Bug Spray and Suntan Lotion- Nothing worst than sunburn or bug bites while on vacation.
If you pack all of this, you will have everything needed to have a great camping trip. There are camp stores for anything you may forget. So make a list using this guide and check it off as you pack.
