by Neeta · October 20, 2019

There’s no doubt that camping is wonderful. Being far away from the city hustle-bustle, on the lap of nature, feeling calm, quiet and free from all day-to-day worries is one of the best experiences of our life.

However, without the right equipment, your camping trip can turn into a nightmare. Here’s a checklist of essential camping equipment you need for a fun camping trip.

1. Tent

You need shelter when you are out in the wilderness. Tents are of various sizes, accommodating from 1 or 2 to even 5 or 6 people. Choose something like this Automatic Easy Outdoor Tent by Wild Wonderer which is a blend of innovation and adventure. It pops up automatically and you can easily set it up.

2. First Aid Kit

A well-stocked first-aid kit is a necessity for a camper. While you can pack as many things you want as your space allows, the following things should be necessarily included in the kit:

A variety of bandages
Gauze
Tweezers
Tape
Aspirin
Topical pain-relieving cream, lotion or gel
Cough syrup
Antibiotic cream or ointment
Ibuprofen
Antacid
Antidiarrheal medication

Plus you should pack prescribed medications if any. Ideally the first-aid kit should be brightly colored so that you can find it easily in emergency. Take a look at this 80-in-1 First Aid Kit which is stored in a compact brightly colored bag. Once you carry this bag, you don’t have to worry about any emergency.

3. Sleeping Bag

Even if you go out in the summer season, nights in the wilderness are very cold. So, a sleeping bag or camping blanket is one of the first things you should pack. Look at this Emergency Sleeping Bag by Wild Wonderer which is ideal for emergency situations and provides great protection from the elements and visibility too.

4. Camping Stove

You need at least some freshly cooked food while enjoying the nature. And you can cook on an open fire. However, the trouble it brings is not worth the fun. Plus, the campfire may be prohibited in your particular campsite, where wildfires may be a permanent threat. So, it’s advisable to pack a camping stove like this Ultralight Titanium Firewood Camping Stove. It’s corrosion-resistant, easily assembled and extremely durable too.

5. Survival Kit

One of the first things every camper would like to pack before a camping trip is a small survival kit. It should consist of things you’d need to survive if a worst scenario arises. Such a survival kit can be bought or you can create a custom survival kit. In any case, it should contain everything you need in a bad situation.
