You can have a peaceful camping trip or enjoy adventures, or do both. But, it can also be quite fickle and tricky. And<strong> you also need a lot of things<\/strong> if you want to make your experience memorable.<\/p>\n<p>So, here is the <strong>ultimate camping checklist:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Camping_Equipment\"><\/span>Camping Equipment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are some parts of your camping equipment that are essential and some that are optional.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Essential\"><\/span>Essential:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lightweight backpack<\/strong> and a <strong>rain cove<\/strong>r to protect it even better.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>day bag<\/strong> or fanny pack for hikes which can easily carry snacks, water and first aid kit.<\/p>\n<p>A<strong> tent<\/strong> that\u2019s sturdy, waterproof and good with all weather conditions. The size will match your needs in terms of space, depending on the number of people that come with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tent equipment<\/strong> like repair kits, tent poles, different tools, stakes and so on. Bring a saw too, for cutting wood. (Keep in mind that the amount of equipment and the type of tent will also depend on how long you want to stay &#8211; shorter stays require less equipment and lighter tents)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sleeping bags<\/strong> that are also weather appropriate and warm enough. If kids are coming with you, bring kids sleeping bags.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sleeping pads<\/strong> and\/or air mattresses with high quality that will provide you restful sleep. Take a foam pad as well, if you are taking sleeping pads because it will keep you warm and comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>pillow<\/strong> is also essential for proper sleep. Of course, since carrying your own from home is not practical, get a collapsible camp pillow or an inflatable one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Campfire starter<\/strong> and a matchbox or a lighter, as well as a fire starter<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also need<strong> lights<\/strong> &#8211; headlamps, flashlights, lanterns, mantles, portable solar power equipment, lighting for your kids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Camp chairs<\/strong>, including kids camp chairs and a camping table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Navigation essentials<\/strong> like maps, compass, a GPS device.
