tent-camping-checklistThis is a basic tent-camping-checklist. Add or delete items as you see fit. 
Let's cover some individual items on the list. General tools- tools that you would use on your automobile. Lighters- Matches can get wet and get ruined. Lighters, especially the long neck lighters work great for lighting fires and Coleman Stoves. Extra Jackets- Mountain air cools off at night. Go prepared. Sunblock- The sun burns you faster at high altitudes. Protect yourself and your kids. First Aid Kit- Kits are pretty standard when you buy them from a store. I like to make sure that I add a numbing cream for scrapes and scratches. Maybe it's just my own kids, but boy do they carry on when they have injuries. The sooner I can numb it, the sooner they calm down. Numbing creams work great on mosquito bites too. Medications- Daily meds that anyone in your family takes, plus over the counter remedies like headache relief, cold meds, Pepto, etc. Leather Gloves- A must for hauling wood, removing hot pans from the fire, etc. Pocket Knife- You'll have knives for cooking but you want to be able to carry one with you at all times. Rope- I couldn't tell you how many times we've needed rope while camping. You never know exactly what you'll use it for but I can guarantee that if you leave it home, you'll wish you had it. Power Inverter- These work off of you car battery. They are indispensable in my mind. Refer to the 'kids & camping' page. Flashlights- You should have one for every person camping. Extra Batteries- That's a no brainer.
