Camping in nature can serve as a time to relax, experience peace and tranquility and get you and your friends and family back in touch with the great outdoors.  Camping can also be a frustrating experience and even a matter of survival when an important piece of camping gear is left behind.  Imagine sleeping with no sleeping bag (It’s been left behind before).  A checklist serves as a great reminder of what to bring and what you really should leave behind.  And camping with a checklist will save you from having to drive to the nearest store, which could be located dozens of miles from your campsite.

Preparedness: 

A checklist for “car camping” serves as a reminder of the necessities and the accessories that you will want to pack for your next camping trip.   Included are the essentials, or the survival gear that is necessary for your camping excursion . These can not be left behind.  I also included, in the checklist, camping accessories that are completely optional but will add the wow-factor to your nature experience.

 

Backcountry camping requires a checklist of its own based on minimalist packing and an immense emphasis on the essentials. Packing for the backcountry means bringing the necessary survival gear in addition to your tent and sleeping bag.   For a backpacker's checklist click here.
