Set Up Your Personal Camping Kit
Bug psp A good collection of camping equipment is only created by trying different things and seeing what works best for you. After you come back from a trip, look through everything you took and separate your gear into two piles: stuff you used and stuff you did not use. Leave the “stuff you did not use” pile at home on your next trip. What you add and remove from the kit should be based on your experience from previous trips as well as the type of trip you have coming up. With that being said, here is a pretty good base list of items to take on your trips.
- Map
- Compass
- Flashlight
- Multi-tool/Pocket Knife
- Cooking Pot Set
- Water Bottle
- Water Purifier
- Stove
- Stove fuel
- Plate, Bowl, Mug, and utensils
- Towel (a regular towel or a pack towel)
- Wash kit (soap, tooth brush, etc)
- Lip balm
- First aid kit
- Waterproof matches
- Sewing Kit
- Survival Kit
- Sunblock
- Tent
- Sleeping Bag
- and of course Clothes.
As you start to go on more trips and try out the different gear, you will quickly realize what you need and what you really should have left at home so you were not carrying the extra weight.
For a more detailed list, that lays out different clothing options and more, check out the post What To Pack For A Backpacking Trip What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? dvd Naked video .

I’ve got one of those fleece pullovers that, even on a warm summer evening, is just perfect for around the campfire.

Roy – thanks for coming by! Please subscribe to our RSS feed if you have not already. I totally agree – a light pullover fleece can be a great companion. I’ve got an OR Specter Pullover that is great (http://www.outdoorresearch.com/site/m_s_specter_pullover.html).
Thanks for coming by and I look forward to more comments from you!

Yes, there’s nothing like actual experience to show what you need and don’t. It’s helpful to make a list of things you should have taken along but didn’t. Then you’ll have what you need next time.
