While there are many things available to take with you on your camping trip, some are more important than others. Lets take a look at the top items to bring with you when visiting the outdoors.

1. Camping Tent / Shelter

Shelter is the most important part of any excursion into the outdoors, being well protected and ready for any type of weather that may arise is your number one priority. Since tents come in such a wide variety of styles, sizes and materials, your choice of a weather sturdy and durable tent is essential. Most tents are rated for using a season rating, 2 season for light use without harsh weather, 3 season for medium use and can withstand winds, rain and light snow, and 4 season tents made for year round use and extreme weather conditions. A pop-up canopy or screen house also make great shelters from sun or bugs.

2. Food

If you have ever been on a trip without enough food, you know how bad this can be, especially if you have kids. Always pack more food than you need, you could be stuck at a location longer than expected. Since you and your children may be much more active than normal, your food supply could be used up faster than normal. Always play it safe and bring a little extra food and water.
