I am not a big camping person. I will admit it. I grew up going to a family cabin in the woods. That to me is camping. A shower, a bed, indoor plumbing and even a movie at night. Isn't that camping? To me yes, to most other people, no. Yet every once in a while I decide to take out a tent and give it a try. For those rare occasions, I have created a camping survival kit. A camping survival kit for those who don't camp very much, like me.
10.Wet Wipes. Where I camp it is usually pretty dry and dusty. I hate when I go to get in my sleeping bag at night and my ankles are caked with dirt. I give my feet a little wet wipe bath and they feel so much better.
11.Duct Tape. Why leave home without it?
12. Tissues. For the sniffles.
13. Playing Cards. I love to play games while I am camping. Teach everyone’s favorite card games.
14. Anti-Itch Cream. Bug Bites, Poison Ivy, Stinging Nettle, etc. These things make camping even more miserable than it already its.
15. Allergy Medication. Just in case someone has an allergic reaction to food or plants or whatever.
Maybe I’m overly cautious but things always come up.
16. Bandages. I don’t even need to explain this one.
17. Pain Reliever. Headaches and stupid accidents require medicine.
Throw all the survival goodness together and head out on a fun filled camping trip.
so fun!! I’ve pinned this!
Those are definitely the necessities…I csn”t think if anything else. And in such a cute basket – LOVE!
Great kit full of good stuff! There is nothing worse than forgetting something when camping because sometimes it’s not so easy to get to a store to pick it up! Happy Mother’s Day and have a lovely weekend! Angie xo
I love you tucked them all neatly in to a little basket! And that would make such a cute gift for someone who loves to camp!
A fly swatter! Seriously why have I hot thought of this before?! Mosquitoes are a pain in our area especially when they get stuck in the tent! lol This is a great list of camping essentials ~ thanks so much for sharing! xo
You thought of a few things I wouldn’t have- great list and ideas here! And even if it’s in a cabin, just getting outdoors is what it’s all about 🙂
The best thing about your list is that you can get everything on it at the Dollar Store!
Instant check list for me! Thank you so much for sharing! Haven’t thought of the fly swatter. Good thinking :p
I’ve never seen someone bring a fly swatter camping but I totally get why!
Thanks for sharing. Yep – prep is everything when it comes to camping! Took me years to perfect our checklist and put that on my site to help other fellow campers. 🙂
Hey Emily awesome article. Btw can you please tell where can i get a bucket like the one in the first picture? The blue colored one really liked it
I found mine at a dollar store.
I’ve thought of almost everything on this list, except for the Ajax, they are much more helpful from cleaning equipment and your skin over hand sanitizer
