Supplies Every Camper Must Have
Every savvy camper knows the supplies you pack can either make or break the trip. There are certain items that must be included in your overnight bag to make the trip fun and comfortable. The basic supplies include the tent (if your campsite does not include a shelter or cabin.) An air mattress or sleeping bag is also essential. If using a sleeping bag, you may want to consider a pad for underneath. Large plastic containers are important for storing food, as this keeps your food dry and prevents animals, such as raccoons from scavenging.
Other must have’s include hygiene items such as soap, shampoo and deodorant. Your camping buddies will not want to sleep in the same campsite as you if you forget these items. Hand sanitizer, if you will be fishing or hunting is good to have on hand. Paper towels, napkins and even moist towelettes are useful since you will likely be making smores over the camp fire. You definitely don’t want to over pack, but having the essential items will make the trip less stressful.
