All About Camping Gear List

May 26, 2011 Are you planning to go out for camping this season with your friends or family. If yes then you must know the complete camping gear lists that will help in a successful and the most enjoyable camping.

Now your camping gear list will actually depend upon the types of camping, which can be car camping and back camping. In car camping you keep all your gears in the car whereas in back camping your essentials are on your back. Hence in back camping you will have to keep in mind the amount of weight you can carry and it is better to keep it as low as possible. REI Halo weighs just two pounds and cost somewhere $250.

Sleeping Bag

Sleeping bag is the major camping gear that you need. In this you have the tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, camping stove and ice chest.

Ice chest is required for the car camping and rest of the other are for back camping and are available in lightweight versions as well. Back camping gear are more expensive than the car camping as these are light in weight but at the same time these are bit more dis-comfortable as well.
