Necessary Camping Supplies

---

Necessary Camping Gear - What to Take & Leave Behind The type and amount of camping supplies a person takes would depend on where they are going, the length of the trip, and even how rustic an experience they want.  For instance, some people like cooking over the fire while others prefer the convenience of a camping stove.  Then, someone camping for two days would obviously need fewer camping supplies from someone going for a week or two. For the best experience possible, the following are camping supplies that should be considered. •    Tent •    Camping table •    Folding chairs •    Cooler •    Sleeping bag and air mattress •    Lantern and/or flashlight (torch) In addition to needing camping gear for the accommodations, people will also need to consider various tools that would be used for the trip, some that include: •    Axe •    Handsaw •    Hammer and nails •    Multipurpose screwdriver •    Rope and or twine Cooking is another area of camping supplies that needs to be addressed.  Again, the exact camping supplies chosen would depend on the type of experience the person wants.  However, the following are cooking items that most people take. •    BBQ grill or propane camping stove •    Fuel or coal •    Pots and pans •    Plastic or tin cups, glasses, and plates •    Cooking and eating utensils •    Coffee pot •    Can opener As far as toiletries, camping gear would cover things such as those listed below, although this is also based on personal preference, especially if you're planning a backpacking trip. •    Toilet paper •    Paper towels or napkins •    Dish soap (biodegradable) •    Toothbrush and toothpaste •    Collapsible water bucket and carrier •    Sponge Camping supplies also cover a number of miscellaneous items, some that might include: •    Aluminum foil •    Tablecloth •    Camera •    Batteries •    Air mattress •    Tarp or tent footprint •    Sunscreen •    Bug spray •    Trash bags •    Waterproof matches •    Inexpensive tent stakes (spares) •    Ziploc baggies [1] To take all the needed camping supplies, a person needs to be well organized.  Oversized plastic bins with locking lids can be purchased at most retail stores for little money.  These keep the camping supplies clean and dry, while also making a great storage and carrying option.  Since most camping supplies are best kept in the tent, especially food items because of wild animals, these containers are a lifesaver. In addition to the items listed, people can look at other camping supplies based on personal preference.  As mentioned, some people want a real rustic experience while others prefer all the comfort of modern options.  Therefore, someone may want to bring a portable radio or CD player, a GPS unit, clothesline, compass and so on. Some of the littlest things makes your stay feel more like home. To make a camping trip comfortable, people do not need to load everything but the kitchen sink.  However, giving a little thought to the small things that would make the trip more enjoyable is certainly recommended.
