(1) Tent+floor cloth
There is no need to explain this. Camping, of course, requires tents! No tent, no camping! However, there are hundreds of different types of tents. You should pay attention to details when purchasing them. It is not recommended to start hastily. It is recommended to borrow from friends or rent from an equipment leasing company in the neighborhood at the beginning. Even many campsites can be rented. In this way, you can know how to set up tents first, and understand what you attach importance to, because buying the wrong ones is the most expensive. In terms of style, we can first consider the yurt style tent built with two camp posts crossing each other. This style is the popular mainstream style, which is easy to carry, easy to set up, and light in weight. It is very suitable for beginners. In addition, there are many pipes to buy, which can also be found in the hypermarket. Please pay attention to the material selection, waterproof and breathability. In addition, usually the tent will be attached with a piece of ground cloth to isolate the direct contact between the tent and the ground and extend the life of the tent. The floor cloth also has the function of blocking wet and cold weather. I think outdoor controllers can also prepare a moisture-proof mat and lay it inside the tent, which is more comfortable in wet and cold winter! And the beautiful moisture-proof mat can also be taken out as a picnic mat on weekdays, which has many functions.
Advice for novices: rent/borrow the tent to participate in the camping, understand the tent building method and use details before purchasing
(2) Cooking account/living room account
The cooking tent or what some people call the living room tent is mainly used to provide a place where outdoor controllers can sit leisurely to chat and drink tea, and also provide cooking space. After all, the climate is difficult to control. Unless camping in a camp with a canopy, the food will be wet when it suddenly rains in the middle of the meal preparation, which will spoil the fun. In particular, the opening mantra widely spread in the camping world is very effective. The living room curtain can cope with many weather changes when it is sunny or rainy outdoors, especially after hanging the side cloth. However, the space occupied by the heavy weight is not small, so many outdoor controllers choose to share it with friends, or only set up a canopy.
Advice for novices: share it with your buddies or camp in a camp with a canopy first, and then decide how to buy it as the case may be
(3) Sky curtain account
According to personal habits and preferences, I suggest the novice cook's tent and sky curtain tent can choose one. The sky curtain is lighter than the living room curtain, and the choice of patterns and colors is more lively, but it cannot completely cover the wind and rain. At the same time, more skills are used to erect the curtain, and the ground space required is also large.
Advice for novices: first observe how the old drivers set up the curtain curtain, and then decide whether to buy
(4) Camping tools
Such as camp nails, camp mallets, camp posts, camp ropes... these are of course necessary. Especially on the days when the weather is changeable, using camp nails and camp ropes to do fortifications can greatly increase the tent's ability to resist wind and rain, and good tools can not only make you get twice the result with half the effort, but also double the safety! Of course, tools like camp mallet can also be borrowed from familiar friends at the beginning.
Advice for novices: tents have camp pegging ropes, but it's no harm to prepare more
(5) About cooking
Stoves: It is recommended to choose card type gas stove or mountaineering stove for entry. However, the double port furnace and fast furnace are not considered temporarily due to their large volume and weight. At the beginning, you should choose a light stove. You can use it at many times. You can carry it for hiking or mountaineering. Besides, it has stable firepower and is very convenient for cooking. In addition, the fire burning table, which is also very popular in recent years, is also an option that can be considered. However, using the fire burning table requires a little patience to wait for the fire to be lit, and you should also pay attention to the burning condition of carbon fire/wood at any time, which is suitable for barbecue.
Pots: If you just want to simplify everything, you can first use the existing pots and pans at home. It is recommended to bring a frying pan and a soup pot to meet most needs. The frying pan is used for frying and roasting, while the soup pot can boil hot pot in addition to boiling water and instant noodles. Usually, I will try my best to choose a double eared frying pan, because the single handle frying pan takes up some space. As for the soup pot, I will choose a stainless steel soup pot, which is easy to carry and store. If you are ready to show your skills when camping, such as roast whole chicken, then Dutch pot may be your favorite option, but you need a larger charcoal fire. It's better to be light when camping for the first time!
Tableware: Of course, we do not recommend using disposable tableware. Stackable wooden or stainless steel dishes are good choices. After that, you can start camping and buy more style tableware according to your taste!
Advice for novices: use the ready props at home first and then buy more in succession
(6) Furniture: tables and chairs, camp lamps, tableware baskets, ice buckets
Tables and chairs: simple but complicated. Some people can match a small folding table with a Scout chair. Some people don't even have a table at all, but only a comfortable chair. Generally, if you don't want to open a group, it is recommended to bring an existing folding table or buy an egg roll table from home. However, if you need to open a group, you should consider the weight resistance of the table. After all, the weight of food and cooking utensils is considerable, and you should also choose a firm table when considering safety issues. As for chairs, you can take small benches at home at the beginning, and then observe the equipment of other campers to find out the type that suits your needs. Based on my years of camping experience, camping chairs are just as important as sofas at home. Apart from the rest time in the tent, you spend most of your time sitting in a camping chair. A comfortable folding chair is the most valuable equipment to invest in, and you'd better choose a chair with shoulder and neck to lean on, When sitting, you can fully rest your head on the back of the chair to enjoy a relaxed feeling. In addition, a few folding benches are ideal for outdoor living room settings.
Advice for novices: a camping chair that can make people sit relaxed and usually doesn't occupy a place is worth having. It is not only available for camping, but also suitable for putting on the front porch of the home
Tableware hanging basket: It is easy for beginners to ignore the tableware hanging basket. In fact, strictly speaking, if your table is large enough, some people will directly put the washed dishes upside down on the table for air drying. However, if you have fully simplified your equipment, and only brought a small table, you may not be able to put pots and tableware. At this time, the basket is a very convenient and space saving good helper, with the focus on light and convenient storage. There are many places for sale, and you can choose according to your needs. In addition, the foldable multi-layer storage rack is also a good choice for saving, which can not only place items but also dry dishes and tableware.
Ice bucket/refrigerator: One of the most troublesome problems in multi day camping is food preservation. Especially in hot summer, I'm worried that the food will go bad if I'm not careful. Many friends will buy portable fresh refrigerators, but even if there is no portable refrigerator, there are many alternative solutions. The cold insulation capacity of the outer pot of an ice bucket or a hot pot plus refrigerant ice bricks is also at a certain level. Besides, the main ingredients are usually cooked in the afternoon of the same day when camping for two days and one night, so it's OK to use them as soon as possible.
Lighting equipment: Most camps are powered now. The most common plug-in camp lights are OK in most camps. It is easy to start with low prices. Pay attention to selecting insect proof bulbs, which can also slightly avoid the problem of flying insects. In addition, the non electric vaporization lamp and the gas lamp are the collectibles among campers who pay attention to the camping atmosphere. It is suggested that after knowing more, you should consider whether to jump into the pit. The camp lamp is a fixed type of lighting, which can be used when moving with a head lamp or flashlight, such as going to the bathroom at night. In particular, the head lamp does not need to be held. Using an empty bottle to increase the brightness can also have the camp lamp function, which is very useful for camping lighting.
Advice for novices: compared with the unit price of these items, they are not expensive and can be used in daily life. You can buy them according to your own preferences.
(7) Clothing
First of all, pay attention to the season and the activities you are engaged in. For example, if you play with water, you must prepare more dry clothes for changing; If climbing, you'd better wear breathable pants. However, the climate in mountainous areas is changeable. Even in summer, you should have warm coats. For winter camping, it is recommended to wear onion style clothes and multi-layer thin clothes. Clothes with moisture absorption and sweat wicking properties are very practical. In addition, don't forget thin long sleeved tops, which can prevent insects and sunscreen. If there are children, it is recommended to bring a raincoat. A pair of shoes that are not afraid of water is practical for both adults and children!
Advice for novices: thin long sleeved outerwear must be taken in summer, and a good windproof jacket can be worth more than one in winter.
(8) About bedding
The most basic bedding is to cover the body and the ground. Even in summer, many mountain camps may be very cold at night. A thin blanket may be enough to go to the low altitude camp in summer, and more warm quilts or sleeping bags will be used in the high altitude camp in the other three seasons. Many outdoor controllers vacuumize their down quilts and take them out. Sleeping bags are also easy to rent. It is not a big problem to buy them at the initial stage. If you want to buy more, you should pay attention to the comfortable temperature marked on the sleeping bag as the main reference index. The mummy style sleeping bag has good warmth retention; Generally, the square sleeping bag has a larger space for activities and is more comfortable. You can take more blankets, which are good for spreading in the tent or covering your body. In addition, use the pillow at home first, or buy a light pillow for travel. The sleeping pads on the ground are used from tin foil pads, foam pads, inflatable sleeping pads, marching beds, and even smart mattresses. In recent years, the mainstream style of independent cylinder inflatable sleeping pads for family camping is the most comfortable, and you can rent them for the first few camping trips.
Tip: Earplugs are highly recommended. Apart from some unruly friends who are still making noises at midnight, sometimes it is unavoidable for babies to cry or snore in the next room. Instead of getting tired the next day, it is better to take earplugs to let yourself sleep well!
Advice for novices: Avoid winter for the first time to avoid buying a pile of heavy equipment and finding it useless in other seasons.
(9) Toilet supplies
As with travel, cleaning supplies can be carried in small bottles, which is much easier. In addition, making good use of the travel storage bag can also make your luggage lighter and more efficient!
Advice for beginners: bring a bar of soap! Sometimes soap is better than bath cream and dishwashing liquid. (You can also play with soap if you have nothing to do)
(10) Large garbage bag and rubber band (or cotton rope)
The large garbage bag is very easy to use. In addition to sorting out the surrounding garbage, if the articles are still wet when collecting the bill, it is most convenient to directly pack them in a large plastic bag and take them away. In addition, large garbage bags can also be used when items need to be collected by category temporarily. In addition, rubber bands and ropes are also surprisingly easy to use, which can help you store things more firmly and neatly.
