There is something truly special about camping and just living in nature for a little while. And with the trend of glamping (glamorous camping) growing in popularity, more and more people are hitting the road searching for adventure and their own pieces of heaven. Should you decide to go camping here are some things we highly suggest you bring with you:
Tent- The home base of your camp site is your tent. Sure, it is thinner than the walls of a building, but it can protect you from many of the elements.
Food- If you don’t plan on hunting for your supper, you will definitely need to bring something to eat along with you. Bring some water while you are at it and should you think you can just drink from the streams, make sure to bring some water filters or purification tablets too.
Sleeping bag and possibly an air mattress- Bringing an air mattress is becoming more of a requirement in the age of glamping and we will admit it’s a lot more comfortable than just sleeping on the hard ground.
Sunscreen- Enough said
Insect Repellent- Again, enough said.
Toiletries and towels- You’ve got to get clean sometime.
First- Aid Kit- When you are doing physical activities in nature splinters, bites and cuts are possible so bringing a first-aid kit is never a bad idea.
A stove or matches- Whether you want to build a fire or want to use a gas stove you’ll most likely need something for cooking. Why matches? Well, rubbing two sticks together to start a fire takes a lot longer than you may think and we prefer all the glory of the fire without all the work.
Mess kit- You’ll need something to cook your food in and a mess kit is a great all-in-one option that allows you too cook your food in the same container you will be eating out of. It’s a good idea to also bring utensils to cook and eat with.
Bring a chair- You’ll thank us for this suggestion when you are sitting around the fire in comfort instead of on the dirt.
