Top 12 Essentials for Nature Camping
Of course, we are all civilized people, but no one has canceled the need for a change of scenery, adventures, and "unity with nature". Especially if you spend most of the year in the city.
The sea and the mountains are great, but we hope that this summer you will be able to get out of the city in the company of cool people, relax from the stress of the metropolis, and at the same time not be bitten by a tick.
Convinced? Then let's start collecting camping equipment!
1. Navigator
So, before the "wild" (in the literal sense of the word) vacation begins, you have to get to your destination. And in order not to wander along the road (which can spoil the mood), make sure that you take with you the most reliable navigator (and not just the one on the phone).
It's not bad that it is as accurate as possible, waterproof, lightweight, with the ability to add maps, as well as a bright and clear screen so that it is convenient to use on the sunniest summer day.

2. Barbecue
Looking into the truth, often our "trips to nature" imply traditional barbecue cooking. Sometimes it even happens to be the main "highlight" of the program.
And since this dish plays such a big role in summer holidays, a compact folding grill is a must-have in a camping kit. By the way, if you and your friends don't eat meat, you can grill vegetables on it.
3. Trekking Backpack
Of course, it's great to fry kebabs in nature, but taking part in a hike that will take several days is a real adventure, from which you will definitely have a lot of vivid memories.
For such an event, you will need a high-quality trekking backpack. Necessarily anatomical, with comfortable straps, and durable, which is important. Optionally — with a folding chair, a drinking system outlet, and waterproof.
4. Tent
The most interesting part of outdoor recreation is an overnight stay. And here there are possible options: you can sleep in the car, you can turn the tent installation into an hour-long quest with obscene comments, or you can take care of this point in advance and buy a comfortable tent.
5. Air mattress
Sleeping on the bare ground sounds romantic, but your back is unlikely to thank you for it and be prepared to be grumpy the next day after that. No one will blame you for striving for comfort even during a trip to nature, so we recommend you grab a compact air mattress. Don't forget the pump, otherwise, it won't be much use. An easy-to-pack alternative is to bring along a hammock, as they are much lighter and can be very comfortable while camping.
6. Sleeping bag
And the last point regarding the overnight stay. When choosing a sleeping bag, consider not only the size but also the season — so as not to freeze on cool nights and not swim in the lake of sweat in the height of summer. If you are an avid traveler and plan to make outings for several months, getting two options — lightweight and insulated would not be superfluous.
7. Tourist furniture
If you and your friends are going on a picnic, then it is quite possible to spend it on a blanket, but for multi-day camping, you will need tourist folding furniture.
Before buying, be sure to make sure of the quality of the assembly, and we advise you to give preference to compact and lightweight models. It's unlikely that you have a third dimension in your trunk, so the smaller the table and chairs take up space, the better!
8. Refrigerator bag
Ice beer is cool, but when we talk about a few days in nature, the cold becomes necessary first of all for the safety of most products (especially ready-made ones).
9. Gas stove
Before going out into nature, we strongly recommend watching some lessons on YouTube on how to make a fire (of course, if you are not completely sure of your skill).
Have you looked? Great, then don't forget to pack a camping tile with you too. Because a bonfire is a romance, a way to get rid of stress and meditate a little, and a camping stove is a guarantee that you can cook food and boil water regardless of the weather and the availability of firewood. Readiness for any situation is the key to a great holiday!
10. Electric Trap for Insects
And another key to relaxing in nature, rather than freaking out and scratching yourself, is to take care of your safety in advance from various small and annoying representatives of the forest fauna.
11. Multitool
During the rest, anything can happen and you will need it, too. So we definitely need to add a multifunctional knife to our list, which is often called "Swiss". It has as many as 15 tools — from a universal hook to a corkscrew. So he will be able to come in handy when he returns home.
12. External Battery
We want you to fully enjoy birdsong, fire sparks flying into the sky, and other "wild things" while relaxing in nature, but we suspect that a complete rejection of gadgets can cause stress, and you definitely don't need it.
Therefore, in order not to look for an outlet in three pines, take care of a reliable and capacious external battery in advance. By the way, we have a very useful guide to the best models of this year.
