Make A Camping Checklist, Otherwise You’ll Forget
I remember our family camp outs when I was a kid. We’d drive for hours to reach a park somewhere out in the wilderness. Once we arrived, we’d unpack our tent and sleeping bags, and then, inevitably, we’d find that we forgot to pack something essential. This would not have happened if we’d been organized enough to make a camping checklist before loading up the car. So, before you head out into the great outdoors only to repeat our mistakes, why don’t you stop for a minute right now and do just that?
Start by listing the essentials. Your list for the upcoming camping trip needs to contain all of the essentials, such as:
- Your tent
- Camping stools
- Tent stakes (those are EASY to forget or lose!)
- A hammer or hatchet
- Sleeping bags
- Camp stove and/or firewood
- Matches
- A lantern
- A shovel
- Cooking utensils
- Food
- Clothing.
- First aid ki
Once you’ve gotten the basics on your list, start adding those items that you want to take. You might want your fishing reel and tackle or maybe you’ll need a compass for hiking? Your destination and planned activities will determine a great deal of what goes on the rest of your list.
If you’re visiting one of the scenic national parks, chances are you can log on to their website and find a list of suggested items to bring along. Looking at that list might help you remember that item you might have overlooked before it’s too late. Then, once you have completed your list, it’s a good idea to keep it handy in case something else comes to mind. Then you can just jot it down.
The single most important thing you can do with your camping checklist is to remember to check off each item as you pack. After all, a checklist is only useful if you bother using it!
