11□ Sleeping pad ‐ You should use some type of sleeping pad under your sleeping bag. It serves as insulation
between you and the ground, and gives you some comfort from the hard ground.
□ Lantern ‐ These come in all shapes and sizes, and can be fueled by gas, propane, or batteries, or can be
rechargeable. Find the one that suits you best, and be sure to have all of the fuel for it that you will need for
the duration of your trip.
□ Flashlights ‐ These come in all shapes and sizes, and can be fueled by batteries, or are rechargeable. Find the
one that suits you best, and be sure to have enough batteries that you will need for the duration of your trip.
You may want to make sure you have one flashlight per person in your party.
□ Extra batteries ‐ Make sure you bring enough extra batteries for all of your devices you will be using on your
trip, i.e. flashlights, lanterns, cameras, cell phones.
□ Insect repellent ‐ Pack some type of repellent so insects don't become a pest and ruin your trip.
□ Canteen / reusable water bottle ‐ If you plan to hike during your trip, don't forget something to carry water to
drink. No matter what the weather or temperature, you need to stay hydrated.
□ Maps (road & trail) / directions / guidebooks ‐ Regardless of where you are going, be prepared with the
information you need to get there, and then to enjoy it.
□ Rope / clothesline ‐ Bring plenty of this, as it can be used as guy wires for tents, clothes lines, or to tie down
tarps. It's very versatile, and no campsite should be without it.
□ Duct tape ‐ This can be used to fix everything in some form or fashion. No toolbox should be without it.
Priority 2 items
□ Larger tarp ‐ Use to make various shelters as needed to protect your camp from sun or rain.
□ Dust pan and whisk broom ‐ Use to sweep up dirt that accumulates inside the tent, and for a final cleaning
before you break camp and pack up the tent.
□ Mat / throw rug ‐ This one item goes a long way to help keep the interior of your tent clean. Use it to wipe
your feet prior to entering your tent. You may also want to consider removing your shoes before going into
your tent to prevent tracking dirt inside.
□ Bow saw ‐ Needed to cut firewood or kindling in campgrounds that allow it. NEVER cut a live tree or any other
plant life at a campground. Be sure of each campgrounds rules regarding firewood before cutting anything.
□ Fire extinguisher ‐ If you plan on burning campfires, you can use one of these in lieu of a bucket of water.
Either way, you must have something on site to extinguish fires.
□ Wrench set – Use to repair or adjust camping equipment. If you only have one piece of equipment with nuts
and bolts, at the very least take the necessary size for that piece of camping equipment.
□ Sheets and blankets ‐ If you don't choose a sleeping bag for your bedding, you can use sheets and blankets
instead. This works best for warm weather camping.
□ Air mattress ‐ This is a level of comfort above a sleeping pad. Air mattresses come in all sizes. Some are self‐
inflating, and pack small, while others require an air pump and are bulkier to store. Pool float types aren't good
for winter camping/insulation.
□ Air pump ‐ If you decide on an air mattress, you may want to invest in an air pump to blow it up.
□ Air mattress repair kit ‐ If you choose an air mattress, then a repair kit is a must. You do not want to get
caught without one when you need one.
□ Bungi cords / straps ‐ These can be used for so many things, and every campsite should have a few on hand.
□ Citronella candles ‐ These are great for lighting your picnic table area and for keeping the insects away.
□ Camp chairs ‐ These are not completely necessary, but they are great to have with you. The alternative is to sit
on a log, stump, or picnic table bench.
□ Leaf rake ‐ Before you pitch your tent, you'll want to make sure there are no sticks or rocks in the footprint
where your tent will stand. This item makes that task a cinch and does a thorough job.
