Camping

Camping Checklist:

To prepare you for an adventure in the great outdoors we have put together a camping checklist. Camping lists are fairly personal and individual so it's really to hard to give a generic one, but this should get you started. We divide camping needs into these groups:

1 - Camping Equipment
2 - Camping Supplies
3 - Toiletries
4 - Clothing
5 - Food
6 - Miscellaneous

Camp Equipment & Camp Supplies might include:

Axe, Batteries, Flashlight, Broom, Bungie Cords, Camp Plates, First Aid Kit (Insect Repellant, Bandaids, First Aid Cream, Snake Bite Kit), Can Opener, Chairs, Folding, Cooler, Cots, Matches (Strike Anywhere), Hammer, Nylon LIne (50'), Heater (propane tent), Paper Towels, Propane Canisters, Knife, Swiss Army, Lantern, Trash Bags, Mugs, Coffee, Zip Lock Bags, Pan, Fry, Pan

Toiletries suggestions:

Pillows, Silverware, Comb, Sleeping Bags, Deodorant, Hair Brush, Sunscreen Lotion, Stove (Propane or Fuel) Folding Table, Tent, Body Soap, Toilet Paper, Plates/Cups for eating, Toothbrushes & Toothpaste, Water Carrier, Lantern & Oil, and Wet Wipes/Wash Cloth/Towels

Clothing pointers:

Two pairs of shoes - Pack for the season! - Pack lots of socks, they seem to need changing often - Always bring a warm jacket - Add towels and washrags for cleanup.

Food :

Stick to meals that are easy to prepare with minimal amounts of ingredients (like Steaks/Potatoes or Burgers), also foods that are easy to clean up after - don't leave scraps and food bits to tempt bears and other wildlife to seek out during the night, for example corn-on-the-cob (burn or throw away far from camp site). Dinner Rolls, boil-in-bag veggies, canned soups, bagged salad, beverage mixes, drinking water if there will be no source of pure water nearby.

Miscellaneous: This is where you put things like books you want to read, tapes you want to listen to, notebook computers, pen and paper, anything to keep yourself comfy!

Happy Camping!
