Camping is all about packing smart and packing light. If you're a beginning camper or just someone looking to go out into nature and enjoy our green earth, you'll need to first plan on some camping stuff to buy.
Depending on where and when you're going camping, what you're planning on doing, who you're going with and how many people, your camping list may look different than someone else's. But still, there are some bare bones essentials everyone needs when they go on their camping trip.
