Campig Gear

Campers must always have a camping list of their gears so that they would not forget anything before going on their camp. This is helpful so that you will have no worries later on and just enjoy your camp. It is also essential to keep track and always update and check your list so that you know what you missed and what you still need. There might some things you might want to add and bring during your camp. Always consider that the things you must bring must be important and necessary and will not just make your load heavy.

Here is a list of the camping gears that you must have. Tent (you must be sure to also include the tent stakes and mallet that you will use for the stakes); rope and twine (they are used in case of emergencies and some activities that may require them); sleeping bags (of course you need one while resting, one for each person who is joining the camp); lanterns and flashlights (they will be used during your camping and on your camping sites, it is important to bring extra batteries and extra lantern fuel because they will not be easily available when you are out on a camp); garbage bags (they can be used for our trash, it is important to maintain the cleanliness in the camping sites, they can also be used as rain coats); camping stove ( used to cook your food, don’t forget to include fuel); eating utensils (it is better to bring plastic and disposable utensils); cooking utensils ( they will be used to cook your food, just bring the small ones); plastic plates; camping grill (just bring a small one and don’t forget charcoal).

Here is a list of the food that are easy to carry and easy to prepare during camps. Cooking oil (for frying); flour and cornmeal (easy to prepare); canned goods such as pork and beans, meatloaf, Vienna sausage and others; canned fruits; sandwich meat such as ham, hotdogs, luncheon meat; bread and spreads; snacks such as granola bars and chips; drinks such as bottled water, fruit juices or sodas. These are just light foods that you may choose to bring.

Next is a list of some emergency camping supplies, first aid kit (a complete set of course together with all the pain medications); snake bite kit (especially when you will camp on grassy places); insect repellent; and antiseptics such as alcohol and hydrogen peroxide.

The following is a list of some personal camping items that will also be helpful. You must bring cash because there are some stores that don’t accept credit cards; personal identification cards will be very helpful especially in cases of accidents or emergencies that might require proper identification; cellular phone that will be useful during emergencies (must be fully-charged or you must have spare batteries); camera for the special moments that you want to capture; map (so as not to be lost in the place, it is important that you know how to use and read one).

Next is the list of some personal stuff that you should bring, they are for your personal hygiene. You must have anti-bacterial soap; sunscreen; and paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels. Also important are camping clothes, a jacket may be needed in the mountains even if it summertime; hats and caps which are protection from the sun and rain and also extra clothing.

You might also need the following items, camping knife or hunting knife; camping axe for chopping wood; candles for emergency; water purification kit; and portable radio not just for entertainment purposes but also for news especially weather reports.

Be sure to always check on your things before going to your camp and after camping. And remember to keep your camping sites clean especially before you leave.
