General Camping Checklist

General Camping Checklist

Have you ever arrived at your destination and realised you’ve forgotten something?
This is a list to help avoid the “Oh no I forgot…..” scenario.
And of course, every trip is different and requires different equipment, so make additions and alterations to this list to suit your independent needs.
You might pack less or more depending on the number of people going, where you are going, what time of year, what kind of trip (hike, kayak, car camping) etc...
