Camping Checklist For You | IFAST
Hongsheng Yan
Whether camping alone or with family and friends, there are many benefits.
Camping alone, you can completely escape the hustle and bustle of the city, stop the fast-paced life, break free from the kidnapping of our attention by electronic devices and social media, and enjoy the time that belongs to you alone, with nothing to disturb you. All you need to do is embrace nature, feel nature, experience nature. Stress and restraint are no more in the moment, you are free.
Camping with family and friends gives you the opportunity to open up to each other, to strengthen your relationship, to communicate without any interruptions, and to say things that you would not dare to say on weekdays. Camping also gives you the opportunity to educate your children. You can teach your children a series of skills such as fishing, hunting, making fire, cooking, and survival through camping.
Camping can help you relax and exercise, but these experiences can be significantly compromised if you're not prepared before camping. Whether you're a novice camper or a seasoned outdoor enthusiast with over a decade of camping experience, a camping checklist is essential.
Checklists add a lot of efficiency to the prep process, and we're happy to know that we don't forget something important when we're in a rush to get out the door.
Use this checklist before each camping trip to quickly and easily gather gear.

Our Simple Camping Gear Checklist
If you're going camping for the first time, pack as many items on your list as possible. This way you won't compromise your camping experience by not bringing anything. And you can keep an eye out for things you're not using so you probably won't need to carry them next time you go camping.

How to set up a tent
Camping equipment recommendation
Camping tent
A high-quality tent is your best guarantee of a good camping experience.

Each tent has its capacity limit, and we generally recommend choosing a size based on the number of people you expect to be camping plus one or two people when purchasing a tent. If you are going camping alone, it is more suitable to choose a 2 person pop up camping tent. If you are going camping with a family of four, then a 6 person family tent should be able to meet your needs.

It is also important to choose a tent according to the season. Three-season tents are suitable for most people's camping needs. But if you want to camp in the snow, choose a four-season tent.
Sleeping bags
Sleeping bags are another important factor in your camping experience. There is nothing more comfortable than sleeping, and we shouldn't let our sleep experience be too bad, even in the wild.

There must be a lot of equipment to bring to prepare for camping, so how to easily transport them to the campground may be a problem. Now, you need a wagon cart that can hold many camping gears.
Travel wagon and pull cart wagon provide the perfect choice for families and beach visitors！ A collapsible utility wagon can tote a lot of gear from one place to another. It rolls smoothly enough to keep its contents intact on mud, grass, bumps, and curbs.
Picnic blanket
Eating and hydrating outdoors is important. A Picnic Blanket allows you to enjoy meals outdoors anytime, anywhere. At the same time, it also allows you and your friends to chat on it or take a break to enjoy the slow time in the countryside. Whether you are lying or sitting, the sun shines sparsely on your face through the shade of the trees, the breeze brushes gently in your ears, the leaves blowing rustled, and from time to time birds flashed overhead. How pleasant！
