Checklist for camping
Reading tip: Wild camping in Europe – where it’s allowed and where not
Is all this entirely necessary? Not every camper needs a solar panel, just as a travel adapter isn’t always essential for many destinations. Our packing list for camping is a compilation of what we considered necessary for a tenting holiday or short break. Personal equipment can be reduced or increased depending on your destination and the facilities available on the camping grounds. If you plan an active camping holiday, you may need extra gear. You’ll find the correct packing list right here.
Don’t forget the food!
Last but not least, food for the outdoor kitchen is essential. We recommend at least a decent spice assortment, salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar and oil. Coffee and long-life milk help to get things going for breakfast, non-perishable canned goods (tomatoes), pasta, rice, cereal bars and hardy fruit (e.g. apples) help with a sudden acute “carbon attack” after a day of physical exertion. Whatever you decide to take along, sufficient daily drinking water is a must to combat not only thirst but whatever emergency you may encounter along the way.
