For many newbies to camping, preparing camping items in advance is a headache. Complete camping equipment can bring us a comfortable camping trip. Our article will discuss the list of must-have items for beginners in outdoor camping.
Camping equipment is the key to ensuring the comfort of your outdoor life, including tents, sleeping bags, lighting tools, etc.
The tent is one of the most important pieces of equipment for camping. It is your outdoor home that protects you from wind and rain. When choosing a tent, you need to consider the following factors:
Type: Three-season tents are suitable for use in spring, summer, and autumn, while four-season tents can cope with more severe weather; single-person tents are suitable for solo travel, and family tents are suitable for multi-person camping.
Size: When choosing a tent, consider the actual number of users and reserve sufficient space.
Waterproofness and breathability: Choosing a tent with good waterproofness can ensure that you can rest peacefully on rainy days; good breathability can prevent the tent from being too stuffy.
According to your own needs, you usually go camping professionally outdoors. If there is no accommodation at the campsite, it is best to bring a tent that is highly moisture-proof and can withstand wind and sun. Safety when sleeping outdoors is very important!
A sleeping bag and moisture-proof pad are key to ensuring your sleeping comfort.
Sleeping bag: When choosing a sleeping bag, choose the appropriate temperature scale based on the season and region you are camping in. If it is cold winter, you need to choose a sleeping bag with a lower temperature rating.
Moisture-proof pad: Moisture-proof pad can effectively isolate ground moisture and improve sleeping comfort. Common types of moisture-proof pads include foam pads and inflatable pads. Foam pads are cheap but larger; inflatable pads are more comfortable but relatively expensive.
In general outdoor camping, the humidity will be very high in summer and the temperature will drop at night. Bring a sleeping bag and moisture-proof mat to isolate moisture and moisture and create a better sleeping environment.
Friends who like wild camping have the deepest feelings about the importance of electricity. After setting up a tent and camp in the wild, electricity is needed in many places. Outdoor lighting fixtures require electricity; mobile phones, laptops, tablets, drones used for aerial photography, and other equipment need to be charged.
Lighting tools are essential when camping.
Headlamp: Convenient to free your hands, suitable for walking or other activities at night.
Flashlight: High brightness, suitable for long-distance lighting.
Camp Light: Suitable for providing lighting in your tent or around your campsite.
It is recommended to prepare at least two lighting lamps, one for the tent and one for the table canopy. Choose a long-lasting warm light with insect repellent function. You can also bring a special mosquito-repellent lamp.
For a camping picnic, you can sit on the ground or spread out a large placemat. But if you want to sit comfortably, you have to rely on a normal seat. Sitting on the floor will quickly lead to fatigue, backache, and leg pain.
The ideal equipment for wild camping should be light, easy to store, and not occupying space. Therefore, if you want to be comfortable when sitting and easy to carry, a folding combination table, chair, and bench is also very important. A good folding combination picnic table and chairs should have enough load-bearing capacity and be small enough to take up no space when stored. Ordinary family cars only have a small space in the trunk.
In addition to camping gear, you also need to prepare some supplies to make your life more comfortable in the outdoors.
Food: Choose foods that are easy to carry and cook, such as noodles, bread, biscuits, etc. You can also prepare some fresh ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, etc, for simple cooking outdoors.
Water: Water is the source of life. Adequate drinking water must be ensured during outdoor activities. You can choose to bring bottled water or filter it with an outdoor reverse osmosis water filtration system to drink healthy and harmless water.
Clothing: Choose appropriate clothing according to the season and region, such as jackets, fleece jackets, quick-drying clothes, etc. In the cold winter, pay attention to keeping warm and cold; in the hot summer, pay attention to sun protection.
Shoes: Choose comfortable and durable outdoor shoes, such as hiking shoes. Pay attention to the waterproof and breathable properties of the shoes to ensure that your feet stay dry and comfortable during outdoor activities.
Trash bags, wet wipes, toilet paper, and other daily necessities.
Power banks, cameras, books, and other entertainment and leisure products.
The most annoying thing when camping in the wild is mosquitoes. Be sure to prepare mosquito repellent liquid and insect repellent powder, as well as some iodophor gauze and band-aid in case of emergency. You can also prepare portable tea and coffee tools such as coffee cups and travel tea sets if possible. Garbage bags are also a must-have item. After everyone is camping, be sure to clean up the garbage, pack it up, and take it away to protect the environment.
Once you have prepared the above equipment and supplies, you can start your camping trip! Camping is an excellent way to get close to nature and relax your body and mind. I hope this beginner’s essential list can help you get started easily and enjoy outdoor life.
