A: Well, It really depends on what type of camping you are doing. Are you tent camping or RV Camping?
Advice for Tent Camping:
> Bring your Tent
> Bring something to sleep in and/or on
> Bring a Tarp ( for under the tent and for extra rain protection
> Bring Water, you never know if water is near or if you might be hiking
> Bring a First Aid Kit
> Bring a Cooler with Abundant Food (And for the Fish You Catch!)
> Bring a Lantern or Flashlight (lightning bugs don't quite do the job)
> Bring a Knife
> Bring a Lighter
Advice for RV Camping:
> Bring The power cord to hook up your RV to the electrical box
> Bring Plenty of water-- both for consumption and for toilet use!
> Bring all of your food in an airtight container---the best ones are the hard plastic containers with the lid that has a button to press to seal and unseal) Due to the humidity, the food goes bad quicker, plus you want to keep the critters out :)
> Have a backup heater/fan depending on what time of year it is
always have your bathing suits and sun screen!
> Bring a frying pan-and cooking utensils! People have to eat, right?
> Keep an extra propane tank on hand in case the one in use runs out!
> Never be without a knife, a lighter and a first aid kit!
> If you are a coffee person, make sure you have a coffee maker and mugs
> Have the RV friendly toilet paper (it dissolves much easier and faster)
> Bring Ropes and bungee cords
