What to Pack for a Camping Trip

Camping means self-sufficiency — pack for shelter, warmth and food while keeping weight in check.

Shelter & sleep

Clothing

Camp kit

💡 Check the overnight low and pick a sleeping bag rated a few degrees colder.
💡 Pack a dry sack for your sleeping bag and electronics — wet gear ruins a trip fast.

Frequently asked questions

What are the essentials for a first camping trip?

Shelter (tent), sleep system (bag + pad), layers, a light source, water treatment and a basic first-aid kit cover the essentials.

How do I keep camping gear organised?

Group gear by function in stuff sacks — sleep, cook, clothing — so you can find things in the dark.
