Camping Checklist
Checklist - Important supplies for an
enjoyable camping trip.
Whether you are a beginning camper or an experienced one, it's always
good to have a list of camping equipment you need to take with you.
In fact what I do is have a trunk-like plastic container filled with
the non-perishable supplies that I always take camping. This way
everything is ready to go.
1. Food -
It's a good to consider easy to prepare food.
Make a camping checklist before you go. You can always check the internet for good camping
recipes. Have on hand dry condiments such as salt, pepper,
spices, sugar, and powdered cream. Be sure to bring staples such
as coffee, bread, potatoes, catsup, mustard, onions, bacon,
eggs, and marshmallows. Camping convenience foods you may want
to include are granola bars, instant oatmeal packs. Don't forget something to
drink.

2. Sleeping Equipment - Make sure it is waterproof and has a canopy for rain
run off. Include a tarp or ground cloth for under the tent. Make
sure the tent is always stored in a dry place to keep it free of
mildew. Include sleeping bags to keep you nice and warm and an
air mattress to keep you off the ground. Don't forget the
pillows.
3. Lighting -
There is nothing worse than walking around a
campsite without light. Bring a lantern either powered by
propane or batteries. Include a good heavy duty flashlight and
it's always good to have a spare one. Don't forget the extra
batteries.
4. Cooking Utensils -
Include a frying pan, camp stove
with fuel, pot with lid, grill, spatula, coffee pot and tongs.
5. First Aid Kit -
A great ideas is to put together a
waterproof container filled with the following supplies that you
keep stored with your camping equipment and is always ready to
go. Be sure to include Tylenol or other pain reliever,
antibiotic cream, antiseptic, band-aids/bandages, tweezers,
allergy medicine if needed, sunscreen lotion, bug repellent,
antacid tablets and a box of pre-moistened towels such as baby
wipes.
