Camping Gear - Choosing The Right Camping Gear And Supplies

Are you planning for a change in your daily routine? How about the great outdoors to enjoy the best of panoramic and magnificent sites of awesome mountains, rivers, flora and fauna.But for the outdoors, whether on a relaxing trip with family or on a rigorous hiking mission, one should never go unprepared. Plan well before challenging the great outdoors. Planning includes choosing a trek route, getting detailed idea about the place, making a must have list of the right camping gear and then set about searching for them.

The clothes you bring along for a day hike is usually enough for an overnight hike except when it's cold. Even when it's not cold you should allow for sudden changes in temperature when the day is out.Better and lighter equipment makes it possible to keep the combined weight of your camping gear including tent, backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad and cookware, under 5 kilograms.But it also depends on your needs and comfort tolerance. Some people can get by with minimal camping gear but some need to have just about every gear you can think of.

The bigger your backpack, the more stuff you can carry in it and the more you tend to carry unnecessary gear. Many hikers avoid using backpacks that are bigger than they need.However, it is better to discipline yourself to not bring too many gear than to be disciplined by the size of your backpack, some argue. Most internal frame backpacks today have compression straps so your camping gear don't flying about inside your suitable backpack.Your tent should be suitable for the expected weather and terrain. Different types of tents are designed for different types of weather and terrain. Make sure you check with the manufacturer's instructions.A groundsheet (which is very light) should be included in your checklist to keep the floor of your tent dry and to protect the fragile fabric from the sharp rocks or roots. To help you keep warm at night, use a down sleeping bag and an air mattress. The cushioning of the air mattress will help you sleep at night.You might want to leave your camping stove at home to save some weight and enjoy the campfire at night. But a campfire is not always possible because of restrictions and the lack of fuel. At least in case of emergencies include your camp stove along with lightweight camping cookware.Extra clothing is always appreciated on a cold winter night but some people can sleep comfortably in the cold without the need for extra protection. Dry clothing will always help you sleep comfortably even if you are a cold sleeper. Others who have a smaller tolerance to the cold should have extra clothing including long thermal underwear or one made of wicking fabrics. A fleece jacket and beanie (and/or balaclava) are useful additions to your clothing as well. If it's likely going to be wet, bring a parka or raincoat.One thing you must always have is a first aid kit that is recently checked for expiry dates and the condition of every single piece. Put it in a nylon stuff sack together with your other small, personal stuff.

Here's a basic camping gear checklist for an overnight hiking trip:

-extra clothing
