Recently, many people are thinking about going camping outdoors. So what gear is a must-have for outdoor camping? There are actually quite a few. Here are some essential items that the editor has compiled for you. Once they arrive, you can set off on your adventure.
1. Tent: For those in northern areas or places with little rainfall, a single-layer tent is sufficient. It can withstand less than 2-3 hours of rain. During rainy seasons, a double-layer tent is recommended, as it can usually withstand light rain for 7-8 hours. Refer to the tent’s waterproof rating.
2. Sleeping Bag: An essential item for camping in the wild. There are down, polyester, and woven varieties. Choose based on the weather. Refer to types of sleeping bags.
3. Sleeping Pad: The wear layer comes in single-layer and double-layer options, with flat surfaces and honeycomb surfaces. There are also inflatable pads, allowing you to choose according to your needs.
4. Stove: Stoves come in various types, such as gas stoves, vaporizing stoves, and alcohol stoves. These are very useful in areas where open fires are prohibited.
5. Cookware Set: This is a cookware set specifically designed for hiking and camping. It comes with three pots – large, medium, and small – nested together. It also includes small bowls, spoons, and a small teacup.
6. Water Bladder (Bottle): An indispensable piece of equipment for outdoor activities, as campsites are often some distance from water sources.
7. Camp Lamp, Flashlight: Necessary for walking and staying overnight. Headlamps are also a convenient option.
8. Fuel: If you don’t want your stove to be just a decoration, remember to bring it along! Don’t forget lighters and waterproof matches.
9. Food: Picnic cans, bread, instant noodles, biscuits, and snacks are essential. You can also bring some rice, meat skewers, grilled meat, and other snacks.
10. Knife: Necessary for cutting, chopping, and trail clearing. If you are venturing into more remote areas, a machete would be a good choice. A multi-purpose Swiss Army knife is sufficient for everyday use.
11. Shovel: Consider a combination axe and shovel, as it is much faster than doing it by hand when setting up a tent or leveling the ground. The axe can be used to chop dead wood and branches.
12. First Aid Kit: In case of emergencies, having a first aid kit allows you to at least provide initial aid and prevent further injuries. Refer to common medications.
13. Accessory Equipment: Compass, map, glasses, life jackets, insect repellent, rubber dinghies, ice buckets, water filters, binoculars, BBQ grills, etc.
14. Backpack: For a 2-3 day camping trip, a 50-70 liter pack is sufficient. Choose a high-quality, durable, and comfortable brand. You’ll appreciate the benefits after carrying it for a long time.
Reminder: This is a very comprehensive set of gear. If you are not staying overnight or need to clear trails, many items can be omitted. It depends on your specific needs.
