Outdoor Camping Gear
from:While planning for a hiking trip or journey in the outdoors, you will want to ensure that you have the proper outdoor camping gear. It is essential and extremely important that the proper gear is packed when preparing for a journey in the great outdoors.
Whether you are heading out on a short journey or not, here are some essential items of outdoor camping gear that should be included in your pack:
1. Map (in a watertight case)
2. Compass (and if possible a GPS receiver as well)
3. Extra Clothing
4. Extra food and water
5. First-aid kit
6. Headlamp or flashlight
7. Matches (stored in a watertight container)
8. Fire starter
9. Knife
10. Tent or any form of shelter such as a canvas
11. Sleeping bag suitable for the weather
12. Water filter or purification tablets
A protected map and compass is essential, even in an area that you are familiar with. Extra clothing is also important as weather conditions can dramatically change and having those extra clothes will come in handy. As well as extra clothing, extra food and water is important. A first aid-kit should always be included when planning any trip. Flashlights, matches, a fire starter and knife are also essential outdoor camping gear items that will be used throughout the journey. When packing a tent, ensure that it is durable and waterproof, same goes for your sleeping bag. A water filter or water purification tablets are important as it will save you from carrying bottles of water.
There are several outdoor camping gear checklists available on the internet that will suit the needs for your journey. This checklist gives just the basics for a simple journey. When preparing for your trip, you must always take into consideration any unexpected weather conditions, the terrain and the area you are venturing into, also the length of time that it will take you to get to your destination and ensuring you have enough food and water to last for your trip back.
If you are heading into an area where bears or other wild animals are known to seek out human food, it would be very wise to find a proper food storage device. A whistle may also prove helpful if you are travelling alone and fall into trouble. There are many more useful outdoor camping gear available on the market that is worth looking into. Whatever you plan on packing for your camping trip, you will want to make sure that these items are useful and also lightweight, especially if you will be hiking to your camping destination.
