Seriously tho I do love to camp. So, what you need to know in advance is about the campsite. Are you are camping in a place that has facilities, if yes what kind. Then you can get down to the brass tacks of what to bring. And of course you need to know the general expected temps for the area.......

Where do you plan to go camping (what part of the country/time of year)?
Will you be backpacking or camping at a campsite (aka car camping)? A good investment would be a camp stove (again, dependent on what kind of camping you're doing) Dylan |

Bring flip flops so you don't get cooties when you shower at the campground.
And if there's no shower at the campground, That is way too rustic for me. We are going to a cookout next week and there's some talk of s'mores. I am not even allowed to look at the 12 bars of chocolate in the chiller. |

There isnt much I cant do outdoors including survival. I have light camping gear and larger/comfortable gear. I can rough it back country or set up my caravan of big fancy tents and screen rooms, air mattresses, designer sheets, gourmet fireside meals and make Martha look cheesy.

That said, when I do my solo long distance cycling tours I camp to help save on money. What I've used in the past is the following (REI is a favourite site of mine in the US while MEC is my fav in Canada): Cooking stove: MSR WhisperLite I also have a MSR cook pot collection (they fit into each other) and will probably get a "spork" for when I travel although as I note below I tend to buy while on the road (vegetarian/vegan stuff) Sleeping bag: I usually find a 3 season one (the last one I got was at MEC and I go for weight because of riding on a bicycle) and I have a ThermaRest Pad to sleep on with the sleeping bag. Water purification: Katadyn Micropur Purification Tablets Tent: for more than 2 people, the Big Agnes is nice. Just me, I'll be getting this one by REI (I've used a friend's in the past and it's been great) Food: I tend to buy near by but bring trail mix as it's portable for me and reduces weight as I travel. Sometimes I'd get some of the dehydrated packs (usually the cereal stuff) and/or oatmeal or Uncle Ben's Rice packs (they are enclosed in these mesh kind of configurations and you just pop them into water -- when I last used these it was before I was vegan/vegetarian so we'd add a boiled egg or fried egg to the rice, which made it a great way to start the day). Bug Spray and such: since my travels took me into Ontario/Nova Scotia/New Brunswick forests which are known for black flies ( ![]() Towel: find a towel that is made of the same material that swimmers use. These towels quick dry and that's helpful Sandals: Keen's rock! I used these all the time but when on the rock they are great for those shared showers. Toilet paper: find some cheap rolls to bring. Sometimes those outhouses and such don't necessarily have any. And if you have to run into the woods.. well.. can be handier than the poison ivy near by. ![]() Headlamp: great if you want to read or have to find the bathroom at 2am without waking too many neighbours and ensuring hand free light. Hopefully that helps somewhat. More than anything, have fun while camping. ![]()

Eh. The french press gets you a better coffee experience (IMO). My uncle has used the one your grandfather has used in the past but found the french press better for camp fire camping.

Just get the french press. It's much easier and the coffee will taste better.
I swear by the REI camp pads. We've got two of the self inflating kind that we use for under the sleeping bags in the back of the van. Something between your sleeping bag and the ground is good to have. As for tents, check out Walmart and Target. If this isn't something you're going to be doing every other weekend for the rest of the summer, go cheap. They have small, one and two person tents that will give you a dry and bug free place to sleep. Trying to think of the important things you really don't want to forget - Lighting is important - flashight, headlamp, lantern. extra batteries, just in case. Something to light the fire - it's an easy thing to forget so don't! Cup - having the coffee is good, having something to drink it out of is even better. Cutlery - If nothing else, just a basic knife, fork, spoon. Not a butter knife, make sure it can actually cut stuff. Something to cook in - depending on what kind of food you take this could be as simple as a pot to boil water or much more involved. A pot and a cast iron skillet are both good to have. A hot pad or two can be helpful, also. Again, depending on type of food - a can opener. Speaking of food - I'm a big fan of easy. My dad was a campfire chef but I'm lazy. I usually do sandwiches, hot dogs, canned things. That being said, there's about nothing better then eggs and bacon over a campfire. Smores, of course. Depending on where you're going to be, make sure your food can be secured and you have enough ice to keep it cold. Don't forget water. And a camera. Because, when it's all said and done, we want pics! |

I would take an RV with a king size bed and master bedroom. One with a big screen TV, air conditioner, kitchen and full bathroom. Then I would take an outdoorsy type to start a bonfire and someone under the age of 12 to make me Smores...(over 12 and they tend to wander off to other campsites for socialization..) A bug zapper is a must, so is a drunk zapper - they show up un-invited to other people's sites, drawn in by the light of the fire and then torture people with stories of their favorite professional wrestlers. Ugh. Rather then fold out chairs, recliners are more comfy and easier on the back. I keep a cooler of ice tea next to mine - the under 12 year old loves to go find ice if I run out. Sleeping bags for extreme temperatures aren't necessary - going outside only makes sense if it's 80 degrees with a breeze. Otherwise, the AC can keep it perfectly fine inside the RV. What IS necessary are 300 thread count sheets, down comforters and coordinating curtains.... Avon skin so soft is VERY important. Even if you never leave the RV. It repels bugs, BUT attracts drunks so you still have to be careful if you go outside without turning on the zapper. I also like to take fishing poles, a bike and a kayak to decorate the grassy area of the campsite. They give it a rustic - campy feel. Just be careful not to over do it, otherwise it will look like every other campsite....add an American Flag and your favorite football team flag - otherwise the neighbors will accuse you of being haughty. As for food, generally people get all pissy when you don't have actual food - so I get frozen pizza which, for anyone who has tried to get that stupid shrink wrap off knows, is almost like foraging for food in the wild. If you need any other pointers - just shoot me a PM. ![]() |
