With summer approaching, there\u2019s a fair chance that you\u2019ll soon be planning your first camping trip of the year. The market might be awash with all sorts of new gadgets but what are the items that no self-respecting camper would leave home without?<\/p>\n

A tent<\/strong>
\nThis is pretty straightforward: if you\u2019re going camping, you need some sort of shelter. The type of tent you choose will depend on who is making the trip with you.<\/p>\n

Sleeping bag<\/strong>
\nAgain, not something you\u2019re likely to leave home without. You should invest in a decent sleeping bag so that you still stay warm when the temperatures drop. Before you part with your cash, factor in considerations such as where you are camping and what time of year it is. For an extra comfy night, why not also invest in a roll mat?<\/p>\n

\"tent\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cooking gear<\/strong>
\nUnless you\u2019re thinking of taking all your meals<\/a> in the pub, some basic cooking gear is essential. A camp stove and a few pans should see you right. Make sure you don\u2019t forget the matches<\/strong>either!<\/p>\n

First aid kit<\/strong>
\nYou need to be prepared for all sorts of minor injuries when camping, whether it\u2019s a cut, a burn or a bite. Your basic kit should include bandages, gauzes and tweezers. Make sure you stock up before<\/em>you leave, because there\u2019s no guarantee you\u2019ll be able to find what you need on the campsite itself.<\/p>\n

Insect repellent<\/strong>
\nThough this may be included in your general first aid kit, bring an extra bottle or two. Depending on where you\u2019re camping, there may be a few bugs around.<\/p>\n

Source of light<\/strong>
\nYou might be camping in the summer, but that doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t get dark. A simple source of light such as a head torch will save you from fumbling around hopelessly in the night. It\u2019s also handy if you like to read at night. You should bring a spare pack of batteries too.<\/p>\n

Wet wipes<\/strong>
\nSome would argue these aren\u2019t essential \u2014 but you never know how the cleaning facilities will be at the camp site or venue. They can help you observe personal hygiene and keep comfortable.<\/p>\n

Sensible clothing<\/strong>
\nWeatherproof clothing is an absolute must<\/a>. There\u2019s nothing worse than being caught out in the rain. Choose clothing that you can wear in layers, and if you\u2019re combining your trip with a walk in the hills don\u2019t skimp on hiking gear.<\/p>\n

Swiss army knife<\/strong>
\nA multi-purpose tool such as a Swiss army knife can get you out of all sorts of pickles. After all, no-one wants to have to use their teeth to open a bottle of beer or take their chances with a large knife to open a tin of food.<\/p>\n

Water<\/strong>
\nUnless you know you\u2019re going to be near a water source, your own supply of water is essential. It will help you cook, wash and, in the event of an emergency, it may even be crucial to your survival.<\/p>\n

The exact make up of your camping kit bag will depend on a number of different factors. Just remember that to make the most out of your trip, you sometimes need to put safety first.<\/p>\n
