Camping essentials 101

When you are just a first time camper or maybe you have not camped for awhile it sometimes can become hard to separate the camping essentials from the toys. The most obvious items are of course your Coleman Sun dome Tent - 7'x7' and CW Gear Lightweight Sleeping Bag because you need somewhere to sleep. So now lets take a look at some of the most forgotten items for campers:

some extra TENT PEGS PLASTIC 4are something you will always want extra of especially if you encounter heavy rain or wind and need to tie down your Tarps, dining canopy Ect.

You have kids Goop® Anitbacterial Wipes need I say more! Prevent the Swine flu and other nasty illness from your family's vacation plans.

Now that we have the absolute must haves lets explore some real handy items you may want for your next trip into the woods:

The most handy item CW Gear® Peg Mallet without this you using a rock.

Many practical uses one tool CW Gear® Camp Axe I have used our camping ax for more projects while on vacation than I can list here (Of course use your head and be safe when using it!)

When the outhouse is not an option Thetford Porta Potti 345 this will come to the rescue,you will want to make sure you use biodegradable paper to make it easier to clean.

When yo want to sit but not at your picnic table try Bungee Picnic Table & Bench Cover Set you can always have the best seat in mother natures house as long as you bring it.

The whole idea here is bring only what you need but avoid becoming Grizzly Adams. If you wake up cold or wet it is because you didn't prepare with the right equipment.
