weather, but animals and bugs you're going to want something

campers will need to get around at night at some point and
without batteries for your flashlight, you're in trouble. For
your cooking gear, non-stick pans and pots are easiest to deal
with.

Before heading out, make a list of what camping equipment you need and plan to take. Pre-planning camping activities will helpyou decide what gear to take or need to purchase. Some campgrounds supply camping gear and a quick check before handwill let you know what is and isn't  provided.

Getting all your camping equipment together is just the first
step. In order to ensure a long life for your recent purchases
you will need to properly store and care for your gear. After a
long week outdoors cleaning your camping equipment may be the
last thing on your mind. But repairing little holes or tears

cleaning before storing. If you're unsure how to clean a piece

experience. Good gear is reliable and durable. By taking care of
your camping equipment you will extend the life of each piece
