Camping Essentials for Your Next Trip

Camping is fun if you bring all the right things. Regardless of your style, there are some essentials you must never forget while you’re out in the woods or mountains. Let’s get into some of the most forgotten items that can make a difference in your experience.

Jump Starter

Camping in the woods often means being far away from civilization. This is why you need to take your very own jump starter. Even if you get to the campsite on a motorcycle, you may still need one. While you’re at it, get the contacts of a motorcycle accident lawyer in Dayton, Ohio, if you need it.

First Aid Kit

This may sound like a no-brainer, but many people forget to take a first aid kit on their camping trip. You don’t want to be stuck in the woods with insect bites and no allergy medication. Once something goes wrong, a first aid kit buys you some time until the medical team can get to you. Something as tiny as a first aid kit can be what stops you from needing an amputation. So, pack it before anything else.

Rope

Now, you may wonder why you need a rope during a camping trip, especially since you’re not climbing. The reasons are numerous. For one, you need a rope to set up your campsite. Even if you have a fancy tent, you may still need ropes to keep them sturdy.

Besides using it for the campsite itself, you may also need to set up a clothesline to hang up your clothes during your stay. A rope also helps out while you’re out swimming in a lake. If you’re unsure of how strong the currents are, you can keep a rope nearby. The same thing applies to towing a car or getting it out of a tricky situation.

Tarp

It is unlikely that you’ll remember to take an extra tarp while prepping for your camping trip. You may just need it to prevent water leakage into your tent. Tarps also come in handy when you have a torn tent. Since they are portable, you can easily fold one and place it safely in your car boot.

Lantern

It’s easy to say you should pick a flashlight, but that’s not enough. You need a light that is powered by something other than electricity.

This way, if you’re unable to charge it or change the batteries, you can still have light to see your path. You can still take a flashlight along with a lantern.

Maps

Unless you are experienced with camping in that particular area, you should always take a map. You don’t want to be stuck in the woods for days before finding a way out. Always take an updated map of the area before heading out. It helps if you have a compass as well and know how to read it.

Lastly, you may just need a pocket knife for small cutting tasks around the campsite. Who knows, it may just save your life.
