3. Camping is an outdoor activity that
involves staying the night/more than
one night in a protective shelter out in
nature. Camping is a broad term but in
its essence, camping is a way of getting
away from the hassle of urban life, to a
more natural environment for a limited
time.
4. Always bring appropriate clothing for unexpected weather conditions. Also,
dress for utility, not to impress.
It is good to have a shelter that is resilient to rain, snow, or excessive
sunlight.
Camping can be a tiring activity and you don’t want to be exhausted or
dehydrated, so try to have plenty of calories and water.
The health benefits of regular camping are countless. Camping reduces
stress, decreases depression & anxiety, lowers blood pressure, improves
digestion, and boosts the immune system through fresh and clean air.
You can go camping by yourself but it is much more fun with your family,
friends or colleagues.
These are the important things to remember about camping...
6. The founder of modern
recreational camping was
Thomas Hiram Holding, who
wrote the first edition of The
Camper's Handbook in 1908.
His urge to camp derived from
his experiences as a boy: in
1853 he crossed the prairies of
the United States in a wagon
train.
7. In the decades following, organizations such as the
Association of Cycle Campers (1901) and the still-
popular Boy Scouts (1907) cropped up, creating more
of a culture and organizational structure around
recreational camping.
Camps were also set up across the world in areas
where temporary bases were created – gold mines,
archaeological digs, and even military encampments.
From the American Civil War to Medieval European
military battles to Roman and Greek epic military
campaigns, camping was a way for armies to have a
base with some small comforts.
9. CAMPING BAG
A camping bag is one of the
most essential equipment
during your camping trip. It
needs to be durable,
waterproof, and lightweight.
10. FLASHLIGHT
The flashlight is a must-have
item on your camping trip
and it is good to have one
for each member of your
camping party.
11. SLEEPING BAG
A good sleeping bag will help
you to have a warm and
comfortable sleep since nights
are usually much colder in
nature.
12. WET WIPES
Probably there will be no
shower or even running
water in sight during your
camping trip so it is good to
have a couple of boxes of
wet wipes for hygiene
purposes.
13. TENT
You are going to need a
tent for shelter in nature.
You need to have a sturdy
tent that can withhold in
varied weather conditions.
14. CAMP STOVE
A camp stove is a reliable
and faster way to cook
food when the weather is
too wet/ moist to make a
campfire.
15. CAMPING CHAIR
The camping chair is an
essential relaxation item for
camping. Eating, sitting, or
enjoying the campfire on a
camping chair is much more
convenient and comfortable
than sitting on the ground.
16. TRASH BAGS
Being a good camper requires
a well-adjusted sense of nature
conservation. It is good to
bring a couple of trash bags
with you and leave the
campsite clean.
17. FIRST AID KIT
A first aid kit is something smart to
have on your camping trip. You can
include painkillers, antibiotic cream,
bandages, gauze, and mosquito
sprays in your first aid kit. If you are
planning to travel with your
equipment, there might be
additional costs. You can click here

19. ADVENTURE CAMPING
Adventure camping is reserved for serious campers. It usually
has two main aspects, which are day and night. You usually
travel or hike during the day.
This gives you the opportunity to explore new areas, see
wildlife, and enjoy what nature has to offer.
20. Boondocking, dry camping, or wild
camping all refer to the same thing. Dry
camping provides a fun and free way to use
your recreational vehicle (RV).
When it comes to dry camping, you don’t
have any access to water or other
amenities. In short, you are prepared to
use whatever you find on the site, to make
your stay in the wilderness comfortable.
21. BACKPACKING CAMPING
Backpacking is one of the extreme
forms of camping. It is an independent
way of traveling, where you hike
through different types of
ecosystems.
You will spend most of your time
hiking, and you, therefore, need a
comfortable and supportive shoe.
Backpackers carry enough supplies
that can last them for several weeks in
the wild.
22. People choose bicycle camping for
various reasons. There are those who
love the idea of traveling around on a
bicycle while others use it for
convenience.
In bicycle camping, you have the ability
to camp in a hostel or a hotel, which
means that you can go wherever you
want. You are not tied to a certain
destination or mileage.

23. CANOE CAMPING
Canoe camping combines
long-distance travel, camping,
and canoeing. It is done using
kayaks or canoes. Similar to
backpackers, canoe campers
have to carry enough supplies
to last them throughout the
duration of the camp.
24. OVERLANDING
It consists of mechanized capable
transport, such as bicycles and
trucks, while you spend the night
camping. The journey lasts for a long
period, which can be months to
years, cutting across different
international boundaries.
25. SURVIVALIST CAMPING
One of the types of camping
that are growing significantly is
typically called survivalist
camping. In survivalist
camping, you need to learn and
acquire all the skills required to
survive in different outdoor
situations.
27. Respect the regulations where
you're camping. Be sure to
check posted signage or chat
with the ranger or camp host.
DO: Dispose of waste
appropriately.
DON'T: If campfires or stoves
are allowed, make sure to
equip yourself with fire
precautions.
LAW OF LAND
28. STAKE YOUR CLAIM
STAKE YOUR CLAIM
The best campsite is one that is
already there. Use what others have
done before you and conserve your
energy for playing outside.
DO: Set your tent up in established
spaces. It protects the surrounding
wild by keeping it well.
DON'T: Set up your tent too close to
water.
29. KEEP IT CLEAN
Camping may involve lots of dirt, but
it's actually all about keeping it clean
at least when it comes to the site.
DO: Dispose of trash properly in
provided bins. Take it with you where
required to pack it out or when there
is no more space in the provided bins.
DON'T: Do your dishes in your camp
and dispose of the strained dishwater
in provided drains or by scattering it.
30. CREATURE CARE
Your campsite may be your
temporary home, but it is and
has been home to many more.
DO: Take lots of pictures of
wildlife and quietly observe
them from afar.
DON'T: Feed the animals with
your cheese and puffs.
