The Camping Gear You Can Not Forget To Bring

By Tiffany Ellis

A fun camping trip will be as good as you make. If you forget some of the necessities that you must have, the trip will be harder right from the start. Make a well thought out check list before you start packing and you will be less likely to forget anything essential. The tent is by far from the only important things you will need for a great camping experience.

At the very top of your camping check list should be a very well equipped first aid kit for sure. Just because you don't think anything will happen like an accident or illness, does not mean that it will not happen anyway. A lantern is another essential piece of gear because you never know if something might happen during the night when you would need to see a bigger area than a flashlight or fire could provide.

Having comfortable chairs is important just because it can be very uncomfortable sitting on the ground the entire trip unless you are a kid. You might not want to sit so close to all of those creepy bugs on the ground. A grill and a rotisserie for the campfire is essential too for cooking food, but it is smart to also have a camping stove just for some reason you can not get a fire going and sometimes it is just easier to use a stove than a fire..

If you want to rest an comfortable as you can on your camping trip, you might consider taking along an air bed instead of just a sleeping bag. Air bed can be easily inflated and make it a lot easier to sleep good if you are not on the hard ground all night. Not sleeping well is what ruins a camping trip for many people and there is no sense in sleeping badly if you don't have to.

Two more things you might also want on your check list is a tent fan and a tent light. Trying to sleep in a hot tent can also keep you from resting well. Tent lights are great to have just to be able to see at night. Waking up and knowing there is a bug crawling on you somewhere can be even more frightening if you can't see it! These are the basic essentials you will need for any enjoyable camping trip. You should always make up your own check list because what one person might not need could be essential for you.
