Beginner's must-see! What should I prepare for my first camping trip?
Since the spread of the new coronavirus, the popularity of outdoor activities where you can avoid crowds has increased,
and there is a growing interest in camping.
However, some people may not know what to prepare because they have too many tools.
What should you prepare for your first camping trip?
What are the essential items for camping and
what are the convenient items to have?
First, a tent is essential to secure a place to sleep. There are various types of tents such as one-pole tents, dome tents, and tunnel tents. For beginners, it is recommended to choose based on ease of setup and number of users. In addition, there are 3-season tents for spring to autumn and all-season tents that can also be used in winter, so it is also recommended to choose a tent that is suitable for the season.
Also, in order to sleep comfortably, it is necessary to create a comfortable environment inside the tent. To sleep comfortably, prepare a sleeping bag. It is compact and easy to carry, making it perfect for outdoor scenes.
Placing a mat under the sleeping bag can make sleeping even more comfortable. In addition to the commonly used silver mat, there are also highly insulating urethane mats and air-type mats that can be inflated with air. By placing a mat on the floor of the tent, it can reduce the feeling of unevenness on the ground and block the cold air from the ground.
Meal Space Preparation
Once the environment inside the tent is set up, the next step is to prepare the dining space for a more comfortable time. A tarp is essential for blocking out the sun. A tarp is like a roof that blocks out the sun and rain, and there are various shapes and types such as rectangular tarps, hexagonal tarps, and screen tarps, each with different features such as high livability and versatility.
It is recommended to prepare a table and chairs for dining under the tarp. Recently, low tables and low chairs have become popular, but it is best to choose ones with a convenient height. Cooking utensils are also essential for meals. Prepare cooking tools such as barbecue grills, knives, and cutting boards, as well as cutlery.
If you don't care about appearance, you can use disposable paper plates instead of cutlery. Don't forget to prepare a cooler box and ice or ice packs to store food. Also, a lantern to light up the tent site after dark is essential.
What are the
convenient items to bring for camping?
When camping outdoors, it is important to be aware of the temperature changes and protect yourself from UV rays. It is helpful to have items suitable for such situations.
Even if it is warm during the day, it can get cold in the morning and evening, so it is a good idea to bring warm clothes. Waterproof clothing is recommended in case of sudden rain. Additionally, it is reassuring to have sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses for UV protection.
Furthermore, there are many insects at campsites that can harm humans, such as mosquitoes and black flies. While it is best to cover up exposed skin at campsites, it is also a good idea to use insect repellent spray on exposed areas. In the summer, there are also many mosquitoes, so it is important to take measures such as using mosquito coils. In case of being stung by a bee or black fly, it is reassuring to have a poison remover to extract the venom.
In addition, it is recommended to bring garbage bags and wet wipes for sorting garbage. Some campsites may provide garbage bags, but it is helpful to bring your own just in case for cleaning up afterwards.
OK with empty hands!!
What is a camping facility that you can easily enjoy?
On the other hand, in order to start camping, a considerable amount of money is required just to prepare the minimum necessary tools. If it is difficult to prepare everything at once, it is recommended to choose a campsite where you can rent a set of tools.
Recently, there has been an increase in campsites that offer "hands-free camping" where you can rent all the necessary tools at the facility.
