The list below includes
many items that you may or may not need on every trip. If
you plan well, you'll take only those items you need to reduce
the size and weight of your day or back pack. Also, some of
the items listed may need to be duplicated for each member
of your party, while other items can be shared by the group.
With car camping you have the option of taking a few extras
that would add unnecessary weight to a pack. Determine the
type of trip: for relaxation and rejuvenation; for inexpensive
shelter on a road trip; to rough it; or any number of other
reasons we head to open spaces.
To simplify preparation, packing, and locating items once
on the trail, we tend to group equipment by which room in
a house you might normally find it. If you always stash your
equipment in the same place within your pack you'll always
know where to find it, especially in emergency situations.
The items listed below are linked to further information.
Equipment Tips
- Mark important items like your flashlight, headlamp, watch, and water bottle with glow-in-the-dark tape so you can easily locate them at night.
