Equipment Needed When Camping


As days go by, camping is gaining a lot of popularity. More and more people are going to camp in remote locations for various reasons.

There are areas with large places where some go to unwind, some go to build unity amongst them for example team building activities among employees while some go to get away from the hassle and bustle of cities and civilization and enjoy the serene environment in its natural state. A place like this is the Tsavo West National Park in Kenya. Failure to carry everything necessary for camping may cause one to have serious problems. Gear for camping should be small items that have multiple uses to minimize the amount of luggage one has but at the same time one should not lack anything.

For example a pen knife can double up as a scarf, a pen knife can double up as a tin opener and a big handkerchief can double up as a water filter. Some of the most essential supplies one should have are a tent, clothes to change into, water purifier, toiletries like bathing soap, toilet paper, toothpaste and such, a penknife that can double up as a can opener, a stove to cook and some food.
A sleeping pad may also come in handy. It is simply a type of mat used in conjunction with a sleeping bag for extra comfort and thermal insulation. It is advisable to make a list of all the things one will need during their camp to ensure that one has all the necessary supplies.
