4. Test your gear before you go. Know how to operate your camp stove, and bring the proper fuel.
5. Purchase several small and medium nylon bags (stuff sacks) to divide your gear. Cooking gear can go in one bag, first aid items in another bag, and so on.
6. Plan your water supply. If water is scarce, consider having a large water bladder in your pack, such as those made by Camelback. In addition to offering a high capacity, water bladders have a hose that allows you to drink while you’re on the move. Water purification tablets are indispensable.

How to Pack for a Camping Trip
The wilderness can be unforgiving, even with the proper gear. The last
thing you want is to reach a remote destination and find that you
forgot something essential. Develop a plan to guarantee that you’re
well equipped.

Instructions
1. Establish a staging area. Use a
corner of your garage or living room and pile gear there prior to
packing. If you have the space, begin moving gear to the staging area
several days ahead of time. This prevents overloading your brain at the
last minute.
2. Take a good look at your gear pile
when you think it’s complete. Spend a minute reviewing your checklist
and check everything on it.
3. Pack your
clothing. You want to layer your clothing to meet changing temperatures
and conditions. Pack spare clothing in case you get wet. Avoid cotton
unless your trip is in a very warm climate–cotton dries slowly and
offers no insulation when wet. Synthetic long underwear and jackets are
best. Include a warm wool or fleece hat.4. Test your gear before you go. Know how to operate your camp stove, and bring the proper fuel.

7. Buy a good sleeping pad or two. Many
people like to stack a fulllength sleeping pad on top of a shorter one.
The extra warmth and comfort makes the weight and bulk worthwhile.
Camping stores have several brands of pads, from $20 to $100.
8. Plan your meals ahead, so you’ll be
guaranteed to have enough food. For short camping stints, your grocery
list might include milk, butter, cheese and crackers, bread, buns,
vegetables, fruit, dried and/or fresh, meat (burgers, hot dogs, shish
kabobs), canned foods (chili and soup), condiments and spices, trail
mix, energy bars, cookies, s’mores fixings, soda, juice, tea, cocoa,
cider, coffee and alcoholic beverages.
9. Weigh luxuries against absolute
necessities (for instance, a handheld GPS is fun and helpful, but a map
and compass work fine, too). Your specific destination may require
additional gear or far less, if weight is an issue.
