Camping Checklist

Wonderful list! I’m camping this weekend and I had a few ‘oh yeah!’ moments while reading this.
Last time I went camping, what really helped us were those stake-in-the-ground solar lights that you put on your front walkway outside your house- they’re pretty cheap at walmart. We packed a couple last minute and put them outside our tent and it made it super easy to use the zipper-door in the dark.

For the First Aid Checklist, a Qwikclot pack may be useful for large bleeding wounds. And don’t forget the bear spray if you are in bear country.

Thanks so much. Very helpful list.

I went to one of those poisonous snake learning centers and they said to NOT BUY a snake bite kit because they don’t work, they are a complete rip-off, and you are wasting valuable time thar you need to be using to getting to the hospital quicker. Only antivenom is going to help. I had no idea until I went to that class.

Perfect thank you so much! Saves you forgetting those silly little things like matches!

i LOVE the internet – anything and everything anyone could want to know. jeez – i was hoping to find a list just to be sure i hand’t forgotten anything on my list – DUH – childrens Tylenol….how is it that i didnt have it on my list when i have a 3 yr old PRONE to boo-boos???? Thanks soooo much for the checklist. i recommend you add benedryl/childrens benedryl in case of poison ivy/bug bites/bee stings. and there’s this neat adapter that turns the cigarette lighter in your car into a 3-prong electrical outlet – great for charging cell phones/charging portable DVD player so kids can have movies on long car trips. (our family car didnt come equipted with DVD players like many of todays vehicles)

Also – sunglasses and if you wear prescription glasses remember your eyeglass repair kit and cleaning wipes.
Camera – i suggest the waterproof disposable kind after dropping my digital into 20+ ft of lake water trying to take a pic of my husband tubing – NOT COOL! lol
happy camping everyone!

This is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so much. With this list, it’s gonna be a fantastic weekend )

Sweet list I just had to show my mother and father in law. This really help people whom haven’t been camping or camping in a long time and that camping has changed so much. Can’t just go pitch a tent and fill a cooler up for a couple of days .. anyways
thanks

Great list! Thank you…filled the gaps. Only thing missing is the Jiffypop!

Thanks for the list, it’s a great starting point. I usually copy it into a spreadsheet and eliminate what is not needed for a given trip (depending on duration, destination and who is all going). I find it quite comprehensive and I seem to always come back to this one when I google “camping checklist”.

GREAT list. Found ALOT of gaps that i was missing so over the past few days i stocked up on coleman products at wal-mart Thanks so much

Dang, great list! Thank you so much, writing it down right now! Thanks again guys!!

Thanks, I’m going camping with friends and getting plastered. made my day. makes me not forget anything.

useful 4 science homework thanks

Why don’t you just list what you’ve got in your household? Oh wait I believe you have; I’m confused, are you going camping or to spawn a brand new race of forest people?

Very, very comprehensive list, it’s great!!!

(I never got the most of those items, even, for home!!!)

It helps a lot, when you organize a trip to check what things could you take, what you already have and what are you able to buy before departure

Great list! It is very complete and will help if going on a long trip or short trip…you can just cross off stuff you don’t need. I appreciate having this list because it makes camping trips much easier.
The last trip we used the camper after our nephew and he used up all the paper products. If I would have had this list…my life would have been much easier! Thanks

This list was so amazing guys. Totally awesome. Cant wait for the trip of a life time. Gosh you made my day!!!!!

Angie – buy sticks? You are camping. Bring a pocketknife, find a stick and whittle the end to a point. Now, if you were doing kebobs, then I’d say yes, bring your own skewers (metal)…but not for marshmallows.

Erika, bug repellant IS on the list, you animal… Thanks for the list, it makes me feel very …listy.

love the list! it is really great! My husband has been camping for years and of course when we got together i started as well. However this will be our 1st year going w/o his side of the family and in our own camper. This list is going to help tremendously as I set up our camper. one thing that i can think of that is not on the list is Velcro if you have a camper that way when you are on the go your things arent. my MIL has them and i thought it was the coolest thing.

RE: “feminine products”
um, no, these are generally *not* stocked in a first aid kit for someone who is menstruating. I usually keep one or two feminine napkins (rated for heavy days) in my first aid kit — they can be used to stop hemorraging. They are completely sanitary and can be packed into fairly large wounds to stop blood loss.

They forgot beer

can you bring rollerskates?
