travel destination by vehicle. However, if the camping site is in a remote area, we should bring only the essential items, keeping in mind that we will have to carry a heavy bag on our shoulders for miles and miles. Alternatively, we can carry items that have multiple uses.
In today's travel guide, let's learn about some of the things we must bring with us when camping.
Tent: A tent is indispensable for camping, and various sizes of tents are available in the market. Choose a tent that is water-resistant, durable, lightweight, and easy to carry based on your needs and preferences.
Light: You can opt for a rechargeable light to keep the inside of your tent illuminated. Nowadays, the market offers various types of lights in different sizes that provide ample illumination.
Backpack: Choose a backpack based on your height and carrying capacity for the convenience of carrying your necessary belongings.
Sleeping Bag/Mat: Different types and quality of sleeping bags are available in the market. It serves exceptionally well for spending comfortable nights camping. Select one according to your preference.
Clothing: Take at least two extra sets of clothing for camping. If there's a risk of clothes getting wet due to unexpected rain or other reasons, pack them in polythene.
Polythene/Plastic Bags: Carry polybags for transporting wet clothes, disposable trash, etc., during camping.
Shoes: Select shoes with a good grip. You can also bring lightweight flip-flops for comfortable movement around the camp. Pairs with Vibram or Pegasus rubber soles are highly effective for grip.
Clothing Selection: Choose lightweight and comfortable clothing for camping. Loose-fitting pants, a t-shirt, or a hoodie can be an excellent combination. If you have other clothing that makes you feel comfortable, bring that too.
Food: If you plan to cook or have a barbecue at night, pack all the necessary cooking items. Also, include some dry food for quick energy, such as chocolate, and energy bars, which are very effective during camping. Items like chips and instant coffee packets can also be useful.
Water Bottle: Depending on your need and preference, take a refillable water bottle. Keeping at least two fully filled water bottles on both sides of the bag will not feel heavy.
Power Bank: Bring a power bank for charging your smartphone, camera, smartwatch, or any other electronic devices you bring for camping. A power bank will be very useful to keep your devices running smoothly in case of emergencies.
Flashlight: Although the flashlight on our smartphones can be used, having a separate small flashlight during camping can be extremely beneficial.
First Aid Kit: A first aid kit is very important and practical. Although it doesn't need to be kept separately by everyone, ensure that all necessary items are available.
Hammock: For relaxing comfortably at any preferred location, there is no substitute for a hammock. Choose a lightweight and easy-to-pack hammock.
When going camping, we can also bring additional items based on the campsite and our preferences, such as a towel, personal medication, a dishwashing box, mosquito repellent cream, salt for food, toothpaste, brush, tissue paper, Swiss Army knife, and a rope. We should pay attention to the weight of the bag while selecting items for our camping adventure. If there's an opportunity to go directly to the camping site by vehicle, we can pack independently. Making a list of all the necessary items, packing them in the bag accordingly, and reducing the chances of missing anything is essential.
