Camping list
A good camping list is as necessary as any equipment you
buy. It will include everything you need to bring on your trip. Start
making your camping lists weeks before you hit the trail.
Grab a pencil and paper and write on your camping list all the items
you think you will use on your trip. Also take into account the number
of days you will be hiking. For longer trips you will need more food
as well as other items used on a daily basis.
There are several books and guides on the Internet devoted toward helping
you prepare a good camping list. If you are looking at a camping list
in a store be a little bit suspect since the list may be a form of advertising
to sell you more goods. A good list will include all the essentials
including clothing, medical supplies, food, etc.
