Additional Items for Your Camping Checklist

by Safiyyah Lanier

Likely if you’re reading this blog, you already have your own camping checklist to adhere to. But there are some other items you should consider bringing besides the usual tents, sleeping bags, food, water bottles and bug spray. To make things a bit more different this time around, consider bringing along these items:

Having an outdoor gas grill could really come in handy, especially if you are running out of food. Packed sandwiches and meat can last but for so long, so if you are planning to stay more than a couple of days and are by a river, go fishing and bring back the bacon! You can also use it as a way to warm up food you already have. Or bring a cooler with some steaks, fish or chicken. A portable gas grill is always a yummy way to eat while out and on the go.

If you decided to take that trip with man’s best friend, why should you take on all the weight? Have you pup help by toting its own necessities with this dog backpack.

Having your hygienic products with you is also very important, especially if you are planning to stay outdoors for days at a time. Trust me, by the time you get back home, you’d be unrecognizable (or unbearable). Make sure to bring along a comb, brush, toothbrush and toothpaste. You can even bring along a bottle of water to rinse your mouth with. Shampoo and conditioner shouldn’t be necessary, after all when camping out you have to leave some room for a little grunge.
