While there are plenty of options and specialized items, there are a few basics in camping gear that are essential and so they simply can’t be skipped or missed, or you won’t have the getaway that you’re looking forward to. The fundamental camping essentials include:
First Aid Kit – absolutely essential when you go into the woods or to the lake, a first aid kit should be a necessity for any hiker and camper. Most drug stores, outdoor supply shops and sporting goods stores sell highly small first aid kits that are affordable. Ensure that the first aid kit contains antibacterial lotion, disinfectants, bandages of all various sizes, gauze, pain medication, tweezers, scissors and a tensor wrap. Some creams or lotions for insect bites and sunburn prevention are usually a good idea.
Tent – one of the most necessary item in camping gear, tents now come in a variety of styles, fabrics, frames as well as colors. The standard tent is known as a “pup tent” or traditional inverted V-shaped tent that will likely be a two-person tent. There are larger versions of the pup tent, like a family dome tent, which have the peaked roof but they are much taller to let adults and children to walk around inside with relative comfort. Hexagonal tents also offer more overall room, an essential consideration if you’re camping with children or large groups of people. When purchasing a tent consider the number of people you will be housing and how much under-cover space for storage you may require. Also take into account the weight of the tent if you have to pack it at your camping spot, along with how easy or difficult it really is to put up and take down.

Cooking surface – don’t expect a fire always being possible, depending on where you are camping, fire regulations and restrictions, or wet weather. A small, portable propane stove or charcoal grill can be a life saver for heating up food and water.
Food – you should bring more food than you think you’ll need, as a safety precaution if the trip lasts somewhat longer than originally planned. You can get freeze-dried and pre-packaged foods that are easy to carry and ideal in the case of emergency.
The above are the essential items required for your next camping trip. On top of that, you should also bring a hiking backpack or small daypack. They’re very versatile and let you carry a wide variety of items including water bottle, food a first aid kit, compass, and Swiss army knife.
