Camping is a great way to get outside with family and friends or even by yourself. You can go camping in many local and national parks, at private campgrounds, in the countryside or even in your own backyard. Part of the joy of camping is needing very little gear to exist outdoors. But it’s also nice to have a comfortable, convenient and homey campsite. If it’s your first time camping, it might be best to borrow or rent some of these things. As you become a more experienced camper, you may find that part of the fun is figuring out what to bring along to meet your needs.
You’ll also need food to cook, this part is up to you, but meal planning for backpacking trips is a skill in its own. Right meal planning is important not only so you don’t suffer from hunger, but also so you get the nutrients necessary for the outdoor workout you’ll be doing.
