Camping Accessories

Packing all the right gear for your camping trip will ensure you are prepared and comfortable. Consider how long your trip will be, where you’ll be camping, and your personal needs so you can pack right and focus on enjoying the outdoors.

What essentials do you need for camping?

Although there is a large selection of camping gear to choose from, here is a list of camping essentials you’ll want to ensure you have for a longer trip:

• Water Storage & Treatment - When spending time in the outdoors, having an abundance of clean water is important. Large water jugs, containers, and ·       purification items can help you stay hydrated safely.

• Portable Shower/Toilet – A portable shower is a great way to stay clean and feel refreshed after a long day. Portable toilets are a convenient sanitary alternative to outhouses.

• Binoculars/Telescope – Make sure you see all the sights with a good quality pair of binoculars or grab a telescope to view the night sky.

• Picnic/Beach Gear – Aside from hiking, canoeing, and other outdoor activities, you’ll also want to enjoy some downtime. Bring along a shelter, umbrella, cooler, picnic basket, and toys and games.

• Multi-Purpose Bungee Cords and Ropes – Use cords and ropes to secure loose items, keep your tent down, and tie things together.

What should you not forget when camping?

Packing for a camping trip can be tedious, especially as you won’t want to forget anything important. Some commonly forgotten camping supplies include:

• An extra pair of shoes

• Firewood

What should I pack for a 3-day camping trip?

It is recommended to bring everything you’d need on a 1-day camping trip on a 3-day camping trip, as well as some extra provisions, fuel, water, and insulation. Since you’ll be staying on-site for a few days, you may want to bring a larger water container, an air mattress, and camp cooking supplies such as a camp stove and freeze-dried food for more convenience and comfort.
