The Ultimate Outdoor Camping Gear List for 2024

Outdoor camping is an addictive family activity. My family organizes 2-3 outdoor camping trips every summer. The family finds a place away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoys the tranquility of nature.

Although camping is very fun, it is also a luxury for an office worker. First of all, you need to have time and a good camping site, and you also need to prepare a lot of camping equipment. Here is a summary of the equipment you need to prepare for camping, for reference only:

Tents

Camping tents are divided into camping tents and roof tents. The biggest advantage of roof tents is that they are rainproof, moisture-proof, insect-proof, soundproof, private, safe, and especially comfortable to sleep. The disadvantage is that they are relatively expensive and suitable for professional players who drive for long-term travel.

If you go out camping occasionally, just choose an ordinary camping tent. When choosing a camping tent, you should consider lightness, strength, windproof, waterproof, rainproof, and moisture-proof. If the weather is cold, you should also keep warm.

1. Tent size: You can choose the size of the tent according to the number of campers, and you can choose according to the actual situation.
2. Tent material: The material of the tent is generally Oxford cloth, but Oxford cloth is also divided into three, six, and nine grades. If you don’t know how to choose, try to choose a more expensive tent, and the tent material will be better. If you need sun protection, choose a tent with a sunscreen coating.
3. Easy to install and store: This is very important. It is best to have a hydraulic rod, which can be installed and stored in a few minutes.

Sleeping bag

Sleeping bags are mainly used to keep out the cold and are more comfortable. When choosing a sleeping bag, you should see whether the filling is fluffy and warm, light in weight, and easy to carry. The filling is mostly polyester fiber, shaped cotton, imitation feather cotton, and a small amount of duck down. Mugodi's sleeping bag is quite good, with a sanded inner layer that locks in warmth and a shaped cotton filling that is fluffy and warm. The outer layer is made of polyester fabric, which is not easy to wrinkle and is not afraid of dragging and friction.

Water Purifier

The water quality varies in different campsites. If we drink tap water directly, it may affect our health. Therefore, we need to use a reverse osmosis water filtration system because it can filter out all harmful pollutants in the water. If you don’t know what brand to choose, the ITEHIL reverse osmosis water filtration system is highly recommended. It is portable and has a filtration effect of 99%, which is very popular. Therefore, the ITEHIL water purifier will be your wise choice.

Picnic mat

The mat used for picnics and playing can be selected according to the number of people.

Outdoor camper

A camper is like a large-capacity suitcase. It can hold a lot of things. You can put tents, sleeping bags, food, and other things in the camper. You can take them away in one car without having to carry them many times. Because the wheels of the camper are huge and non-slip, it can run smoothly on the beach, gravel road, and mud road. The camper is foldable and easy to store. For camping enthusiasts, a camper is one of the must-have equipment.

You can add a table to the camper to eat or put things on it, so you don't need to prepare extra portable seats.

Outdoor power supply

There is no electricity in the wilderness when camping. There are only two ways to use electricity for camping, either by car power generation or by bringing your mobile power supply. Car power generation requires an inverter, which is not expensive, but the oil price is quite expensive now, and the cost of car power generation is too high. Relatively speaking, a mobile power supply is more suitable. Outdoor power supply can charge cameras and camcorders, can also be used for cooking with rice cookers and induction cookers, and can illuminate LED lights and projectors at night.

Camping stoves

Generally, people cook with fire when camping outdoors, wash vegetables cook with family and friends, and then enjoy the fruits of their labor together. The feeling is completely different from cooking and eating at home. Even if you have a mobile power bank, it is not recommended to use a battery stove for cooking. The power of the battery stove is too large and the power of the mobile power bank will run out quickly. We usually use a cassette stove when camping outdoors. It has great power and a good windproof effect.

Also, you need to prepare a liquefied gas tank, a kettle for boiling water, and cooking utensils.

Car refrigerator

Outdoor camping takes 1~2 days, and food is easy to spoil in summer, so it needs to be frozen and kept fresh. Cold drinks also need to be frozen to taste better, so it is very necessary to prepare a car refrigerator. Car refrigerators include brands such as Pruneda, Meigu, Indel, New Focus, Ice Tiger, Meiling, and Xinfei. The Ice Tiger car refrigerator is not bad. It is compressor refrigeration with a temperature range of -20°C~20°C. It can be refrigerated and frozen, slightly frozen, and chilled. It uses high-molecular polyurethane insulation material, which has strong heat preservation and cold storage capabilities and lasting temperature lock.

It should be reminded that you must pay attention to fire safety when camping. If you are near the woods, never use open flames.

Camping lights

Camping lights are very important camping equipment. They are used for lighting at night. Using mobile phones for lighting is unreliable. Camping lights are bright, easy to use, and very atmospheric. You can choose any brand of camping lights, but try to choose camping lights that support solar charging because electricity is a very precious resource in the wild. If the camping light supports solar charging, it does not consume the power of the mobile power supply.

Other items that may be used for camping include tape, a hammer, a first aid kit, sunscreen, floral water, toothpaste and toothbrush, water cup, disinfectant alcohol, soap, comb, towel, wet wipes, paper towel, camping light, and umbrella. Tableware for eating (chopsticks, knives, paper cups). If you want to see the scenery, you can bring a telescope. If you need to take pictures, you can bring a mobile phone or digital camera. If there are children with you, you need to bring a few toys, such as footballs, frisbees, kites, drones, etc.

Before camping, the most important thing is to choose a camping site. You must choose a relatively safe place where people have been camping for a long time. Then it is best to plan accordingly and prepare the equipment needed for camping according to the plan. Not every item must be brought. The principle of outdoor camping is to bring as little as possible to meet basic needs. Pay attention to your safety and the safety of fire and electricity.
