Camping is a wonderful outdoor sport that people of varied levels of athletic ability can enjoy together, no matter whether you are camping in your backyard, state park or in the rugged wilderness beside a creek. Camping can be a family camping outing, a romantic twosome or enjoyed with your best friends.
For novice campers it is a challenge to purchase quality equipment at an affordable price .
It is wise to make a list of the equipment that you need so you do not forget anything. Among the items on your list you need a tent, sleeping bag and pillow, folding table and chair, folding camp cot and cooking items. Other camping materials you need are hand sanitizer, insect repellent, camping lantern, and camp stove. I also like to have a standard grocery list so I don't forget things.
The first item that is a must is shelter from the weather. You must have a durable, reliable camping tent. Tents with thick coating on its body are considered more durable and can withstand strong wind and rain. Tents with lighter coating are suitable for summer season. You can shop on different online shops for a quality tent.
If you are sleeping in a camping tent then you will want to invest in a heavy duty folding cot or camp cot so you are off the damp hard ground. They are a life saver. Air mattresses are alright but you have to blow them up, which is time consuming, they sometimes deflate and what a disappointment to be at the campsite and discover you're your air mattress has developed a leak. I believe that a folding camp cot is the only thing to sleep on if you are tenting.
It is also important that you decide the level of roughing it that you want to experience. Do you want to be totally without power for lights and small appliances or not? If not then a car power inverter maybe what you are looking for.
Getting the right equipment and supplies is essential for a successful camping experience.
No matter what you have for camping equipment take time to enjoy the peaceful setting.
