Camping Supplies

Camping Supplies – The right ones will make your adventure fun!  Don’t forget that kids need camping supplies, too.

Having the correct camping supplies can make or break your trip.  If you have the right food, you are in heaven.  If you didn’t bring along the correct set of camping supplies to cook the food – Oops!  Little things like something to cook with and the right utensils can really be a big help in this area.

As you transition between hiking, backpacking, and camping the camping supplies you will be needing will change.  Weight and size will become considerations.  If you have to carry your camping supplies yourself, that is one thing, but if you can lug them around in a trailer or the back of your pickup, that is another.

The type of terrain, the weather you will be dealing with, and the altitude will all have an impact on the camping supplies you will need during your adventure.  Always remember to layer your clothing to make it easier to adapt to the changing weather.  With the proper camping supplies this is an easy task to accomplish.

If you will be going out and about in several different seasons some of the camping supplies you select will change.  Consider the temperatures you will be in, the type of weather changes that can be expected.  Being wet and cold for extended periods of time may have been called “Good Training” in the military but we call it (we are not allowed to use some of the words the military taught us here).  Be prepared with the proper camping supplies and you will not need to repeat our unusable words.

Having your outdoor adventure with kids along can add a whole new meaning to the word “Excitement”.  However, by being prepared with the proper camping supplies ahead of time, the fear and terror you may be feeling can be lessened considerably.

Remember, kids are small humans, surprising as that may seem to some.  Therefore, the size of the camping supplies needed by them is different if they are young.  The big lump you see at the bottom of your adult size sleeping bag may be your kid.  Kids also tend to have more fun when they have their “own” camping supplies.
