Once you have decided on a camping trip you have to go through your check list and make sure that you have all that you will need on this trip. You do not want any sudden emergencies out their and should make sure that you carry all that is needed before you leave home. The camping gear that you will need will depend largely on where you are going camping. Make your list according to the various categories of things that you have to take for specific uses, then you will not forget anything.

Shelter to stay in

The first thing on this list will be a tent and then will come the gear that you need for the tent like poles, stakes, ropes, hammer, tarp to put on the ground, and a mat to put on the ground. If you are one of those who would like to keep your area clean then a brush with a dust pan too.
Sleeping arrangements

Next on your list of priority items would be the sleeping arrangements. For this you will need one sleeping bag per head, pillows, blankets and sheets, air mattresses with and air pump and in case you need it a kit to repair the air mattresses. For the sleeping equipment you would need utility bags to store it in.
Cooking equipment

Once you have made yourself comfortable with shelter and sleep, then comes the next most important thing which is food and with it the cooking equipment. For this you would have on top of your list the stove to cook on with fuel, a lighter or water proof matches, cooking utensils, tongs, grillers, plates, spoons, mugs or disposable cups, the all in one Swiss knife, napkins and dish rags; if you want a few luxuries thrown in you could put them on your list to carry them along too. You would need to make a list of the food stuff that you want to take a ling too – both for snacking and also for cooking at the camp site. Make sure you carry enough drinking water and fruit juices and other beverages. Be sensible with the food list so that you get the energy required with minimum cooking time and easy to make stuff.

To wash up after a meal you would require washing soap and a scrubber; to clean up the mess a trash bag; some napkins; and anything else that you may require personally for your camp kitchen.

Personal requirements

Each person should make sure that they have what they will require on this trip. Things like clothing, appropriate walking shoes, night wear, under clothes and things like hats etc. The other personal camping gear that you should remember is the toiletteries like soap, tooth brush, toothpaste, towels, combs and brushes and whatever the ladies may require.
For those of you who are on any medication please remember to carry it along. A well equipped first aid kit with insect repellants in it too.

Miscellaneous camping gear

These are the small things that could easily be forgotten like a flashlight with extra batteries, a Swiss knife, plastic bags, sunscreen, whistles, water purifiers, water bottles, compass, binoculars, repair tools for any equipment that might need it, candles, a few games, a camera and a map for directions.
Now that you are all set, go over and ensure that each one has all that they need. A good thing to do is to let someone who is close to you know of your camping plans and where you are going.
