I’m going to start camping. What should I have in my camping gear?

It’s an unprecedented camp boom right now. New camp gear products will be announced one after another, campsites are a few months away if you do not book early, and free site campsites are lined up early in the morning and are extremely popular. My family also started camping three years ago. If you start camping from a place where you haven’t had any experience before, I think that “what should I prepare to start camping?” I will refer to the one that my family prepared first. Since it hasn’t increased since the last three years, I think that it is a list that it is all right to have only this. We hope it will be helpful for those who are new to camping.

Save on camping gear purchases by using what you have at home.

To start the camp, I asked a camp veteran colleague, “What should I buy?” The reply that came back there
“You don’t have to have everything. Just bring what you use at home.”
It was that.
For example, if you need a compact burner such as a single burner for mountain climbing, you can buy it, but for campers like ours that go only occasionally, you should bring a cassette stove at home.
This opinion was out of sight. That’s right.
That’s why I decide to use what I have in my house as is, and decide what to buy or not to buy with camping gear.

Selection of camp gear to purchase

Tent

This is a must buy. I’m worried about what type to use here. My family is thinking of camping with 2 adults and 2 chihuahuas. When I go to bed, I need a toilet for Chihuahua, so do I need about 4 people? Is it okay to think when you invite a friend? I thought it would be better to assemble it, so I chose BIG420, a one-pole tent from North Eagle.
One pole tent is recommended because it is easy to set up and dismantle and it is very good.

Tarp

This is also a must purchase. Considering the same things as when using a tent, I chose the Uniframe REVO tarp L, which is cheaper for its size.

Table

This also needs to be purchased. Find a foldable and durable item and go to a second-hand shop.
I chose Coleman’s Comfort Master table because it was a good deal. I like it because it looks luxurious.

Chair

This also needs to be purchased. To see various things, go to Akishima’s outdoor village. The deck chair with a side table, which was an exhibit at Coleman, was cheap. I changed the two required for the price of one.
A chair with a side table is very convenient because you don’t need a table for a little BBQ.

Cooler box

This also needs to be purchased. Just like the chair, I found a cute pink one at Coleman in the outdoor village. This size is enough for two people.

Sleeping bag, pillow, mat or cot.

Sleeping bags are not needed in hot weather. It’s enough if you bring a towel from home.
I also bring the pillows that I usually use at home.

After a lot of research, I was inspired by Helinox’s cot one. This is a great answer and you can always sleep well in the camp. Those who are worried about purchasing can be happy when buying. I recommend it.

Bonfire

I have to buy this too. A uniframe fire grill with good cost performance recommended by a friend. It’s not as compact as I expected, but I’m using it without replacement, without any major dissatisfaction.

Burner

I will bring the cassette stove at home.

Kitchen utensils

I will bring this as well at home.

Water jug

I have to buy this. To the smallest North Eagle.

lanthanum

The LED lantern EX-1000C from GENTOS is used for convenience such as maintenance. It is cheap, you can adjust the brightness, and the amount of light is sufficient, so it is recommended.

What I bought.

The following is a list of products that have been selected and purchased in this way.
1. a tent
2. Tarp
3. Table
4. chair
5. Cooler box
6. Cot
7. Bonfire
8. Water Jug
9. Lantern

Don’t buy “pillows,” “sleeping bags,” “burners,” “kitchen supplies.”

In this way, my house kept the cost of camping gear purchase low. In particular, I think that it was possible to save a lot of money by not having to buy “sleeping bags,” “burners,” or “kitchen utensils,” but having what I used at home.
Three years have passed, but I haven’t bought these yet.

Summary

In order to reduce the cost of purchasing camping gear, I wrote that I would bring things that I usually use at home for camping. I think you can save a lot of money just by stopping buying kitchen utensils and burners. I hope this will be helpful for those who are starting a camp but are wondering what to change.
