Camping Checklist

Thank you
im 27 and the last time I went camping was when I was 6 lol
so this is exactly what I needed especially because the friend I am going with isn’t exactly the most prepared of people in the world.. now ill be able to rest peacefully knowing that I have a great checklist to go by. As we are leaving not tomorrow but the day after

Are you going camping, or are you dragging all your unnecessary junk into the wilderness??? So many things you don’t need when you’re camping, on this list

Hi there,
Really great checklist to make sure you have everything in your tent far away from your home. As I’ve booked powered camp site I would like to add few things that will make this list perfect.

1) Power Board
2) Extension Cable
3) Hand Sanitizer
4) Kettle
5) Strainer
6) Dish Pan
7) Bluetooth Speaker
8) Tablet

Thanks,
Parth Dave

I was always taught that real camping was living of the fruit if the land I didn’t have pots and pans to cook with I had a rock and I had to boil my water to make it safe to drink you how hard that was without a pot or pan I mean yes this is a really really good checklist but agreeing with other people there is alot of stuff that is not needed when I camp this is my list tent,sleeping bag,matches,axe,pocket knife,canteen that’s it everything else I got for myself from the wild then again maybe its just the scouts and military in me talking at that point well have a blessed day anyone reading this just thought I’d say packing to heavy isn’t the smartest idea only the essentials pack light it makes for easier packing and leaving early if necessary

nice list tyler,
mine is similar, i carry a walking staff, many uses, defense, and i carry a small tarp, stakes and paracord, the stakes and all can make many fast shelters of different types, the cord has hundreds of uses, some life saving, when a sharp tent stake is tied to the staff i have a hunting tool. i have a military canteen with the pot/cup under it for boiling eating ect. i also carry purification tablets, why not no space requirement. i have a multi tool spoon fork knife ect, i carry it around my kneck on a replacement leather boot lace. i have a sharp ax and stone but with that no need for a knife, just more to carry. i wear bdu pants for cargo and i can tie legs so nothin gits up there. though not fashionable i wear those old weaved leather belts, there infinatly ajustable and are great for sinching cargo or even housting yourself up say a tree. the sleeping bag and tent, i’ll leave that for the weekender at the campground rental.
true, the less you carry the better, your 4.5lb boots will become cinderblocks fast enough, if it wont hang on a duty belt or go in a pocket, other than my staff, it aint going……ps: my staff also has 30lb fishing line wraped top for grip, and guess what else..

Camping trip list

This helped me to pick and choose what I want to take. And reminded me of some things I had forgotten. I Love roughing it but with kids it seems a little harder to ditch things I normally would for their comforts sake and to save me from any whining

Nevermind coffee pot is on there. Oops. Easy to miss though for such a critical item

Caint wait to go to the lake in camp on memorial day weekend so excited. Spend time with the family

i tried camping and it was so much fun

awesome shows every thing you may need!!

This is exactly what I needed to have! I haven’t been camping since I was 8 and my grandparents worked at a campsite and provided everything so now I am n charge n I didn’t want to forget anything!! Thank you

Thanks so much for the list!!

For those who are whining there’s too much “un-necessary” stuff on here, what in the world are you even looking at this page for in the first place??? This is A CAMPING CHECKLIST. If you don’t need anything other than a rock and a few drops of this or that, why are you complaining – or even here?

Again, I and many others thank you for your list and hard work!!

I think this list is really great..and those who are complaining thats it is so much stuff….no one said you have to take EVERYTHING on that list..take what YOU think you might need.Its a list to remind you..”oh damn I almost forgot about that” Great list.

The website is lovetheoutdoors but basicly there saying bring all the stuff you would use at home no offense or any thing but bug spray tent food clean water mat and cover for tent sleeping bags will work to

Great list. Some of you guys don’t seem to get it. You don’t have to take everything. There are different levels of camping. I’m a glamper, my husband is a camper and my 80+ dad is a true mountaineer. I did my stint backpacking, it was great but now. Now I want as close to hotel comfort as I can get and still keep my husband happy. After all you can’t cook dinner in a dutch oven in a hotel room, and no restaurant can beat my camp cooking. My dad wouldn’t look at this, my husband would say this is nice check list but we aren’t taking all this stuff and I’m ready for that U-Haul. The point is the list is pretty comprehensive, take what you need to be happy on your trip. Which is nice

I’m going on a camping trip with my kids. This list was very helpful to me because I was sitting down trying to make my own list of things I needed and kept feeling like I would forget a major item or even the simplest item like matches. Thank you for the great list. It helped me out so much.
