Going camping for the first time, need tips...?

Get a long rope to hang the food bag on the tree,in the air. So animals don't eat all your foods.

one handy thing to bring, good for rain or shine, a huge tarp and some rope to tie it up. a place to sit under if it rains, a place for shade if it gets too hot, always handy.

One thing....Beer, a lot of beer.

Thats not camping if u got access to showers n stuff. Pshh but just take everything ud use in a kitchen like trashbags plates condiments stuff like that n clothes depending on if u get cold easy or hot.

bring a big gun because any camping problem can be solved with a gun.

Well first of all it's camping so don't get all crazy, ha ha!!! You don't need to bring a lot of things just the simple basic things you think you will need or important camping gear! tHings you might need will include a pillow, flashlight, first aid kit, suncreen, map of area, sunglasses, sleepingbag [if you want it for your tent, extra batteries, maybe a bebe gun or a real gun, shampoo and soap, maybe a towel, maybe a cellphone [though you can't be sure it will work in remote areas, and maybe some waterproof matches if you don't know how to start the fire the other way! [toliet paper, lol! and if you are to young to bring matches then if some one is old enough then you could get them to bring it.] Since it going to be in the 70s then just wear pants down to your knees ay day time and when your walking along/ hiking then wear the knee pants or shorts. [bring a couple pair of shorts and blue jeans, like all the way down to your ankle] You need to bring the blue jeans for the night or you could bring sweat pants, anything comfortable but since it's going to be cold then wear pants that go about down to ankle unless you have a suitable blanket. For your tops bring at least one hoodie or jacket then bring maybe one or two tank-tops. Then you could bring sandals for the camp area and tennis shoes while hiking or going walking anywhere. For food you could bring like the food packets, bread, fruit, dry fruit, water! For breakfast: Food packets, fruit, non-perishable food items, dry fruit, water, granola bars, [any kind] potarts, and any thing else you like but doesn't have to be kept in cooler so you could get the real camping experience! For the hike: Cookies, Granola bars, nuts, Dried nuts, nut bars, Almonds, Graham crackers, trail mix/chex-mic, and popcorn can also be token! For dinner: Hot dogs, Salad, Rice, soups, sometimes baked potatoes! Items that attract animals: the water will attract bugs but the smoke from the fire will most likely make them go away and any foods you have out or any else food product must be packed away in a container or a sealed bag so no animals can pick up the smell it and come to your camping area. Good luck and i hope this helps. Have a great time!

I go camping all the time!! No the ice will not last to 2 days, but that's ok there should be a camp store or a gas station to buy ice at.... It would be good if you got water proof hiking boots for when you walk through the water....you should were shorts maybe like basket ball shorts cuz you don't really want to wear jean shorts and T- shirt.... It's good to make a list of what your going to eat, like you will have burgers for dinner the first night and like that, so you can make sure you have enough food, also bring snacks for hiking maybe a nut mix... Make sure to bring a flashlight, extra batteries... Don't bring a lot of ****, just what you think you will need... make sure you bring soap and shampoo.... Don't forget a pillow... I hope this helps and I hope you have a great time!!! :)

Whatever you do, don't bring food. Total amateur move. It is the only thing that will attract animals and bugs (well and some sun screens), and there is ALWAYS plenty to be found. Have fun!

1) Shorts and t-shirts for the day, sweats and hoodies for night (pack grubby clothes because you WILL get dirty and smell like a campfire when you're through!) 2) Bring an ice chest, and you should be okay with ice for two days...just eat the perishable food first lol 3) Bring trash bags and tie it up in a tree so rodents and scavengers don't get to it (racoons, skunks etc). 4) If you're going camping for the first time, you've GOT to cook your hotdogs over the campfire, either on a wire hanger, or a simple stick! They're the absolute best :) (Bring stuff to make s'mores too--marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate) 5)As for hiking around the water, just bring some strap on sandles like Chacos or water shoes. Old sneakers would be fine too, just make sure you have a dry pair to change into after the hike. 6) Flashlight, toilet paper, and a tarp is always good. 7) Food ideas: Hot dogs, s'mores, oranges, potato salad, chips and salsa, bagels and cream cheese for breakfast, watermelon, etc 8) Sounds like ur at a designated campground, so bring a gallon of water and a couple of water bottles. There's always a water spout of some sort where you can refill your jugs. Have a blast!
