camping packing list

I have been doing outdoor activities like rock climbing and hiking for years. Flashlights, lanterns, sleeping bags or blankets, pillows, pots and pans, utensils, cooler, rain gear, folding chairs, campfire wood are all essentials for a great camping trip.

Judging by the many accessories in today's RV's, roughing it may not mean the same as it did years ago. New sights, sounds and experiences await them when they go camping, rather than looking at the same four walls, or the same old television. Carry a good deal of clothing too you never know when the weather may change.

Make sure to bring along a first aid kit complete with sterile bandages, gauze and disinfectant. Again, online resourses like this dedicated to adventure and travel will be able to provide you with necessary information. For experienced rock climbers, it can be hard to admit a little help and advice is a good idea.

Try to bring as much bottled water with you as possible. Experienced hikers can offer good advice on boots as they have probably tried a few pairs throughout the years.
