Before you head out on that camping adventure, the greatest favor you can do for yourself is to create a camping checklist that will help you organize your trip. Think about the types of activities you plan to do when drawing up your camping checklist. As you imagine these activities, work through what gear and belongings you’ll need to have with you. Remember, you’re going to want to take as little as absolutely necessary because anything you take, you’ll have to carry on your person or store in your tent. Camping is all about minimalism!
In making your camping checklist, you are actually planning your trip, so be thorough and take your time. You’ll only have to do this once and it can really make your camping adventure more exciting and safe. Are you ready? I’ll run you through my own sample camping checklist to get your gears turning.
Remember, though, this camping checklist is only a guide. Depending on the type of camping trip you’re planning, you’ll need to tailor your own camping checklist that accounts for all the different adventures you’re planning. And if you’re a novice camper, don’t worry. Sometimes the things you leave off your camping checklist become the highlight misadventure of your trip!
