Not all food keeps as well as others, and not all is easy to carry on a hiking trip either. The flashlight is an essential item of use to be kept inside the house, in the glove compartment of your car or in your backpack.
New sights, sounds and experiences await them when they go camping, rather than looking at the same four walls, or the same old television. When camping, you will have to pack extra propane bottles, the older liquid gas lanterns give off just as much light but you will have to refill the tank with liquid gas and this can be messy as well as dangerous if you are not careful. For these pursuits, you will need a survival knife or a folding pocket knife.
The rechargeable lanterns do not last as long as a battery type of lantern and the lighting tends to be a bit duller. Ice screws are hollow tubes that have teeth on one end and a hook on the other end. Always carry a map and compass while travelling.
Your web browsing ability can get you some decent deals on equiptment. A good pair of footwear can help you walk faster more comfortably. An axe, a hatchet and a small bucksaw are all very important tools while camping.
Map and compass are a good idea of course, and tell someone where you'll be. Wet boots can cause serious foot problems, so get a good pair.
