Important Camping Gear You Will Always Need

By Tiffany Ellis

Any camping trip is only as much fun as you make it. If you forget get some of the essential items you are going to need, it can take some of the fun right out of it. It is important that you make a check list before you begin getting ready to go just to make sure you don't forget anything important. Of course, you know you must take the tents you will need, but there are a lot of other things that are just as important.

Every camping trip needs a first aid kit. This could end up being the most helpful equipment you take. Camping can be filled with all kinds of opportunities for accidents and even illness that you won't expect, but can easily happen. You always need a bright lantern in case anything happened in the night and you must be able to see well.

Bringing along chairs to sit in just makes good sense. If the ground is wet, you won't like sitting there and then there are always creepy crawly bugs down there too. A camping stove is a good to have as a back up plan. A rotisserie and grill for the campfire is fun for cooking, but sometimes a stove will be easier if you are in a hurry or can;t get you fire started for some reason.

Having an air bed that you can inflate easily will make it a lot more pleasant when you are trying to sleep. Having to sleep on the cold and hard ground is not many people's idea of a good time and will often contribute to making you cranky and ill. No one wants to have to deal with a cranky camper so a sleeping bag alone might not be the best answer for some.

There are a couple of other things like a tent fan and a tent light that will also make your camping trip a little easier. Tent lights are a great help when you need to find something in the tent at night, like a bug or spider. A tent fan will give you just enough of a breeze to help you sleep a little better if it is really hot. Your camping check list should be personalized just for you. What you might need, someone else might not. The point is to have as much fun and enjoyment as possible and this is more likely if you take what you really need.
