Can Opener

You may laugh at this one, but the can opener is one of the most forgotten items when going camping. I have found myself more then once trying to open a can with a knife which is not the safest thing to do. In my early days of camping, I even used a rock once to open a can of soup. So make sure that you have a can opener on your list of camping supplies.



Fire Wood

There is something about sitting around a camp fire in the evening or early morning that makes a camping trip more special. The kids just love to make s’mores when we go camping and I always place the coffee pot next to the fire to keep it nice and warm in the morning. Be sure to check the fire regulations in the area that you will be camping as some areas don’t allow open fires during certain times of the year.







Ax or Hatchet

These always come in handy to chop up bigger pieces of fire wood and cutting wood into smaller pieces to be used as kindling. I have even used my ax to cut a tent pole or two when one or more of the tent poles were left at home.

Camping supplies for Cooking

These supplies cover your pots and pans, plates, silverware and cooking utensils. It is always a good idea to bring several pots and pans in various sizes as your cooking needs will vary depending on the meals you will be cooking. As for your plates, silverware and cooking utensils, you would know best on what to bring depending on the size of your camping party and the meals that you will be preparing.

First Aid Kit

The first aid kit is a must have item when camping as there will always be minor cuts and scrapes for campers of all ages. A good first aid kit will not only come with your typical bandaids and bandages, they will also have Antiseptic wipes, sting relief ointment, aspirin, ibuprofen, first aid cream, sun screen, scissors, tweezers and even hot and cold packs. So make sure you invest is a good all purpose and outdoor first aid kit.



These are just some of the camping supplies that you need to take with you on your camping trips. To make sure that nothing is left behind, make sure you have a gook camping checklist.

Happy Camping ;-)
