Do not forget the tools needed to create your tent like a hammer for rates. Also, take something sharp to cut firewood, flashlight, or lantern at night, your sleeping bag, garbage bag for trash and dirty clothes, extra rope, camp stove, fire launchers and all other essentials.

3. Sleep

Sleep can not come easy for you especially for the beginner. For sealing and insulation, use an inflatable camping mat, or you may prefer camping cot. For CAMPING, I would take camping cot Padded for comfort. What I like in bed is that you do not have to worry about the sharp rocks and roots on the ground.

Remember that you need to clean after meals and it means that to wash dishes. Take the paper disposable plates, bowls and dishes, if you want to avoid washing. This does not mean that you can avoid any cleaning at all because you need to clean the pots. Bring Your Own laundry soap and dish towel.
