Camping Equipment
There are many things you will require when you are camping. Tents, pots and pans, cooking stoves, etc. These things make your camping adventure truly enjoyable. But yes, you have to plan all this beforehand so as to not leave anything behind. We mean you will sit down to cook and realise your pan is missing. So, before leaving, make a comprehensive list and, if it helps, browse through some websites as the internet has a lot of information.
Some equipment you will need:
First Aid Kit
Make sure your first aid kit is well stocked and don’t forget to check the expiry dates on all the medicines and ointments. If you are going to an area with a population of poisonous snakes, then carry an Anti-venom injection. Make sure you at least know basic medical treatments.
Tents and Trailers
Tents are the most important, as that is where you will be spending the nights and storing your luggage. Trailers are equipped with gas and electricity and can be very advantageous on camping trips. Tambo Campers is an Australian company that manufactures tents and has camper trailers for sale.
Sleeping Bags & Air Mattresses
Sleeping bags should be compact yet sturdy and should not be very heavy. If you are backpacking, then especially it should be lightweight. If you are going to a cold region, make sure your sleeping bag is well insulated. You can also get air mattresses, which cushion your sleeping bag from the stones and rough ground.
Lantern / Flashlights
Lanterns can be very useful in the night around the campsite. There are electric as well as fuel based ones, so choose whichever one suits your needs. Battery operated flashlights are a boon and when you are carrying, try and carry a small one on your person all the time. For more info, click http://www.tambocampers.com.au.
Ropes
You will require ropes for securing the tents and maybe even for hanging clothes, but primarily for safety measures, so bring a good length on your trips.
Axe, Saw, Knives, etc
You will need axes and saws to cut fire wood. Knives are helpful in daily chores, like cooking and odd jobs. Carry sharpening tools as well.
Camping Chairs
Camping chairs are useful when you want to sit around the campfire and enjoy the night time. It’s a definite good way to relax.
Water bottles
You will need water bottles when you are trekking away from the main campsite. Remember to always keep yourself hydrated.
Cooking Stoves
Cooking stoves are way safer than campfires and even though you might build a fire, carrying a cooking stove is advantageous. It is time saving and safer. Also, don’t forget to carry a tinder box and fire lighting material.
Clothing
Always carry a raincoat or windcheater, as weather is unpredictable. Also, wear sturdy hiking boots as they are very useful. Always carry a hat with you.
Coolers
You will require a cooler to store perishable items, like meat and other food stuff. Cooked meat lasts longer in a cooler, so keep that in mind.
Toiletries
Even though you are in the wilderness, carry basic toiletries with you. Tissues are of great help, but don’t litter. You will need an insect repellent and a sunscreen, as the sun can be very dangerous.
These are just a few things you should have in your camping equipment. Hopefully this list has been helpful. Happy Camping!
