Trip

What are essential things to bring on a camping trip?

Me and my best friend, whom are only 17, are going on a camping trip for her birthday. And I just need to make a checklist of the main and minor things that should be brought along to ensure a fun and safe trip. Thank you!

2. Hello,
   
   
   
   A lot of it depends on it you need to carry it by backpack or by car. When you have a vehicle, you can afford to bring some heavier items like chairs, cooler, etc... The link below has some good checklists. Hope that helps. Have a fun trip!

   The most important thing to take is COMMON SENSE!!
   
   
   
   I have seen too many who leave all sense at home and do really stupid things.
