Be Prepared for Your Next Camping Trip
When going on a camping trip, it is best to come completely prepared. Often times, when you are camping, you are pretty far away from the nearest gas station or large grocery chain – both are places that we have become dependent on in today’s society. Whether you are camping with the family in your RV or if you are hiking the wilderness alone, there are some basic necessities that you should not leave behind.
RV Camping Necessities
When you and your family go RV camping, you have the luxury of a large automobile with plenty of storage space for food, beverages and other camping equipment. You will also want to make sure that you have plenty of emergency equipment in case your RV runs into a bit of bad luck on the road. Spare tires, fully charged flashlights and cell phones as well as items such as snow chains or engine coolant, depending on which season you are traveling during.
When travelling across the country in an RV, you have enough room to house items such as a microwave or a miniature refrigerator, so you can plan your meals accordingly. Most of the places you stop at during your vacation will have all the amenities you could ever need such as electricity, sewer, or gasoline; however, it is still important to verify that these amenities will be available to you before you plan the stops on your RV camping trip.
Tent Camping Necessities
If you are planning on taking your family tent camping, the situation changes dramatically. First and foremost, you need a place to sleep so make sure that the tent is packed or it will be a cold and miserable weekend! You must also consider how to store and transport your food for the trip. In most cases, a large ice chest will do quite wonderfully. Many camp sites that you visit will have basic amenities such as restrooms and showers, which make camping in a tent easier and more accessible for everyone.
In some cases, it may be necessary to bring items such as folding chairs and a table so that you will have a place to eat. Although most camp sites you find will come equipped with picnic benches and fire pits, if you aren’t staying in a state park or private campground, these amenities might not be available to you.
Lastly, there are some adventurous souls who are willing to forego any kind of amenity and completely “rough it.” For these explorers, items such as canteens and tin plates for cooking and eating become almost a luxury as much as a necessity. No matter where you decide to camp, it will inevitably become much colder at night. Therefore it is important to prepare, not only with a high quality sleeping bag, but with thermal garments and quality fire starting equipment. Although great care and experience are needed in starting one, a campfire is the ultimate survival tool when you are alone in the wilderness, so make sure that you have the necessary equipment to start one. Not only is it a source of heat and useful for cooking and purifying water, it will also be extremely effective at warding off some of the larger animals during the wee hours of the night.
Successful Camping
As you can see, the necessities for enjoying yourself and staying safe on your next camping trip vary depending on whether you are staying in your RV, taking the family out for some tent camping, or exploring the wilderness on your own. Although many more items might be necessary depending on the location of your camping trip and the time of year in which you go, the items discussed above will give you a better understanding on how to prepare for your next camping vacation.

Depending on how many people you’re looking at, it might be in your best interests to BUY a tent and other gear…a one to two person tent (listed as a 4 person tent, but they would have to be awfully small people and still would have to be very friendly with eachother) can be had for as little as $20. Camping stoves…well, I bought a portable gas grill that runs on propane cylinders for $20 at walmart…with a little juggling, it’s perfectly fine for boiling water, heating a pan to scramble eggs, etc.
Other stuff you NEED? A bit of rope for making clothes lines and misc. is a couple bucks. sleeping bags can be had for as little as $20 or as much as $200. If you’re car camping, get a blow up mattress and just carry regular bedding. If you’re hiking to a camping spot, you’ll want to spring for the better sleeping bags as they’re lighter and often don’t require a separate pad.
I’ve been known to camp with nothing but a tent, a sleeping bag, a portable bbq grill, some cooking utensils and a flash light….oh, and a cooler. Perfectly comfortable and, hey, we’re "roughing" it here.
I know kayakers who carry their gear in their boats and get by with a high end sleeping bag, a couple tarps, a bit of rope, some pegs, a backpacker’s stove (some use "catfood can" stoves which you can find plans for on the internet), some matches, a vessel for heating water, a spork, and some dehydrated meals….plus their emergency gear of course (wilderness first aid kit, etc).

Become a sales rep for a major outdoor sporting goods store is your best shot.
Keep your campsite’s cook shack organized and clean with this weatherproof, collapsible cupboard. Extends to 30″, yet collapses to less than 2″ high for easy packing.

Six divided outer pockets provide quick access to utensils or other necessities. Hangs from a tent frame, tree, R.V. or anywhere you need a portable pantry. Straps also make for easy rigging to a rope, so it can be pulled high in the trees at night, safe from marauding woodland critters.

As look as you can pack it appropriately
Im filling out an application for a wholesale sports store and im applying for the camping or fishing departments since those are the ones that are open and they want to know if I have specific skills or experiences that I have which pertain to the positions. What should I write down?
if you’re looking for help identifying what skills might apply to that position, so as to figure out if you have ‘em, here’s what comes to mind right offhand:
* respects others.
* knows how to be friendly and courteous.
* responsible.
* capable of dealing with difficult people without blowing a fuse.
* comes to work on time and works the whole shift.
* capable of learning how to operate the computer system.
* sales.
* knows the difference between graphite and fiberglass.
* knows what a spinning rod is and what kind of reel goes on it.
* knows the difference between an extra wide gap offset shank and and a kahle.
* knows the difference between coleman fuel and propane.
there’s more, I just got tired of typing.
