Camping Checklist

Im Only 12! Yes Its Weird…Im Going Camping &&’ I Need This Type Of Stuff….I Just Find It Really Funny How You Guys Commented That Something Was Forgotten On The List But It Was Ther! Its Called READING!

Nice list. Haven’t camped in a while,even though I spent everyweekend of my childhood camping. Refreshed my memory on some little things we forget.

Chris, I respect your beliefs, but don’t put mine down. I take my Bible and beliefs, and especially my Jesus with me every where I go. I’m quite happy with mind as I’m sure you are with yours, so lets just leave it at that.

Thanks this list is great! A nice tool to help me pack and to double check my own list.!

Cheers

Don’t forget dog food and leash if you have a dog!!!

This list is insane. I’d say half of this stuff is overdoing it a bit. Don’t think I’ll be bringing a saw… Plus some of these comments are ridiculous too.

This list DOES NOT need to have bug repelent! We are camping’s best friends!

Nice list!!!!! Camper/RV need special T.P.

I was with the 101st Airborne (Iraq, 03-04, 05-06) and we didn’t have a shower on the first tour for three months! We slept on top of our trucks, in sand storms and all. Take the first aid stuff and tents, then figure the rest out people! Ok, take some food too, I guess…

great list! and folks it’s a list not requirement. backbacking is different than campground camping. plan and adjust but above all have fun.

This is a very comprehensive list. The definition of camping can vary from person to person . For some people camping means bring children or maybe a couple tenting but also preferring to have electricity with showers close by … To others camping means heading off into the bush surviving off what you can carry on your back.
But most of the items on this list will be utilized by the hardcore and not so hardcore.

One thing I did not see on the list was green glowsticks. You can buy them dirt cheap at most Dollar Stores, very light weight and good to have for an emergency light source if you gotta make the dreaded trip to use the bathroom and your having flashlight / battery problems.

Great list, but don’t forget bear spray. In many parks, bears are becoming “part of the family”. You may not need it, but it’s nice to have, just in case.

thanks for the list its very usefull

Thanks for the list! very very helpful, I feel a lot better about going camping with 3 small children now that we will be prepared……………….safe camping to all

This is a good list! Can someone tell me what a pie iron is?

Hey Cat, here in Aus, we call it a jaffle iron. You put ur bread onto each inside of the iron, sometimes round, sometimes square, (buttered of course) then fill it with baked beans, cheese, spaghetti, wateva you feel like then close it and hold it over the fire to toast! Absolutely delicious!

A pie iron is used to make pudgie pies – duh!
Really though, it’s a pair of matched iron plates. You put buttered bread (butter sides out) with stuffing in between (cheese and hotdog slices, cherry pie filling, or peanut butter and bananas, or whatever you want) inside, close the irons, trim the crust that overhangs the irons, and put it in the coals to toast, turning occasionally. Ummmmm – now I want to go camping!

Wow, this pie iron thing sounds amazing! How have I never heard of a pudgie pie before? I’ll definitely see if I can find pie irons in the UK, it will make a nice change from bacon butties.
Thanks everyone!

I can’t believe how many haters there are out there! If you don’t like the list, don’t use it. If you don’t have something nice to say, just leave it alone. Rude comments only prove how immature and rude you are. Not everything revolves around you or your needs or beliefs. Learn what you will and leave the rest alone.

Great list thank you very helpful!!!!!

We are going camping for the first time with our 6 month old and I definitely needed this list! So thankful for the extreme detail, I’ve already made another list as long as my original one of things that would’ve been left behind. But a kindle? No no we are leaving technology at home. Batteries are charged for the camera though!

you might want to bring a sewing kit because there is nothing like opening something up and noticing that they are a hole in it

I have been looking for a checklist like this for some time…
Thanks

I think I can use this list for our National Youth Camp… Thanks a lot!!!:)

There is a mistake in your list, or, it can be better. We are going to camp right now and I was happy because I have this list. Unfortunately we forgot something: forks, spoons and knifes.

I’m here in the car writing in my ipad because we found out we forgot it. I went back to the list to see how is it possible there is not forks, spoons and knifes in this huge list, and guess what, it’s not.

Well, under cooking it says “Cooking utensils…. knife, spon”, but guess what, those are for cooking and we are not cooking. That doesn’t mean we are not eating.

Remember, if it happened to one, can happen to others, so my sugestion is to make a category different than cooking and before it, something like “EATING” with all used for eating stuff but not cooking, I mean “forks, spoons, knifes, plates, cups, napkins, etc”.

Now we need to stop and buy this stuff. Hope it helps others.
