Wilderness Wisdom: Get those Camping Supplies Together!
Spending your vacation out in the wilderness is both enjoyable and rewarding. It is also an activity that need not be limited to your free time. In fact, any weekend can be devoted to a camping trip and this means that you should stock up on those camping supplies if you are a real camping enthusiast.
So where can you get camping supplies, and what should you store? To know where to begin and how to go about shopping, take note that there are nine main types of camping gear and supplies.
Tents Buy the number of tents you need, but keep an extra one in safe storage. Insects can get to the fabric and chew holes into it, so you should have extra tents just in case you suddenly find yourself out in the woods without a suitable roof over your head.

Lighting Equipment Stock up on batteries, and always keep rechargeable ones fully charged, so that your lighting equipment is always working. If you have rechargeable lamps, charge them completely and keep them clean, since dust can destroy circuits.
Light, Waterproof Clothing Buy this type of clothing in two sizes, one in your current size, and another at least two sizes bigger. This will allow you to layer your clothing just in case you find yourself in freezing cold without proper jackets or covering.
Tools Keep your hunting knives and wood-cutting materials sharp, and out of reach of children.
First Aid Kit Stock up on bandages and ointments, and make sure that the medicines and vitamins you carry have not gone past their expiration date.
Communication As with lighting, stock up on batteries for your walkie-talkies; make sure your cellular phones are completely charged; and carry extra, fully charged batteries for your equipment.
Toiletries Stock up on shampoos, soaps, and other cleaning materials.
Food Stock up on canned goods, and keep water bottles clean and filled with purified water. Make sure that the food you have on hand is fresh, with expiration dates at least one month away.
References and Guides Theres no need to stock up on your maps or compasses, but make sure that your map is the latest, updated one of your camping site.
For successful camping trips, simply stock up on these supplies and store them in a safe place. Keep the food fresh and clean, and the tents away from the insects. As long as you maintain the quality of your supplies, you can simply take them out of their storage space and pack them up for that next trip into the great outdoors.
