Tents
Tents serve as your shelter for several days that you are in
camp. For this reason, pay attention to purchasing the best tent available out
there.
Never settle for worn out tents, or those with holders that already have
rust on them.
If possible, buy a brand new tent which can hold enough room for
you, a companion and your important belongings. After all, getting snug inside
this temporary shelter is pretty cool, especially if you are spending the night
with Mother Nature.
All Purpose Knife
Remember the axiom of the boy scouts? “Be Prepared”. One of
the ways that they show their preparedness is by carrying an emergency all
purpose knife at all times. You should have that same level of preparedness
with you. When you are in a camping field, there are lots of uses for knives.
You can use it to cut loose ends, create emergency cups, kill wild animals
(gross), unpack your stuff, etc.
Flashlight and Ample
Battery Supply
If you are out there in the camping field and can’t see
through the night, a flashlight can save the day. And make sure you bring
sufficient supply of batteries. We’ve heard of camping trips that went south
just because some people forgot the batteries. If you are concerned with
compact space on your baggage, try bringing a relatively small flashlight with
small batteries as well. Never lose your flashlight in the field. It can save
lives.
Jackets and Other
Clothing
In camps that require a lot of physical endurance, your jacket can be a life saver. For example, if you are mountain hiking or climbing, do you expect to survive long enough if you are using cheap leatherware or thin cushioned jackets? Of course not. Don’t forget to buy your branded camping gear (such as Northface). This is a must, except if you are camping in a very hot tropical weather.
Protection Against
Insects
Insect bites can be a nightmare in camp. Mosquitoes can
bring rashes and other forms of fever such as Dengue and Malaria. To ensure
that you are safe from insect bites, make sure that you wear appropriate
clothing that protects against insects. For these situations, top brands such
as Exofficio insect shield clothing are necessary to make your camping trip
worthwhile.
