What essentials do you need for camping?
Although there is a large selection of camping gear to choose from, here is a list of camping essentials you’ll want to ensure you have for a longer trip:
• Water Storage & Treatment - When spending time in the outdoors, having an abundance of clean water is important. Large water jugs, containers, and · purification items can help you stay hydrated safely.
• Portable Shower/Toilet – A portable shower is a great way to stay clean and feel refreshed after a long day. Portable toilets are a convenient sanitary alternative to outhouses.
• Binoculars/Telescope – Make sure you see all the sights with a good quality pair of binoculars or grab a telescope to view the night sky.
• Picnic/Beach Gear – Aside from hiking, canoeing, and other outdoor activities, you’ll also want to enjoy some downtime. Bring along a shelter, umbrella, cooler, picnic basket, and toys and games.
• Multi-Purpose Bungee Cords and Ropes – Use cords and ropes to secure loose items, keep your tent down, and tie things together.
What should you not forget when camping?
Packing for a camping trip can be tedious, especially as you won’t want to forget anything important. Some commonly forgotten camping supplies include:
• An extra pair of shoes

What should I pack for a 3-day camping trip?
It is recommended to bring everything you’d need on a 1-day camping trip on a 3-day camping trip, as well as some extra provisions, fuel, water, and insulation. Since you’ll be staying on-site for a few days, you may want to bring a larger water container, an air mattress, and camp cooking supplies such as a camp stove and freeze-dried food for more convenience and comfort.
