What to take with you camping? A must-have for all conditions – main image

Relaxing in nature is a great way to relax and take a break from the everyday hustle and bustle of the city. Are you planning to go camping and wondering what you should take with you? Here are the most important things!

Make sure you sleep comfortably

A camping trip provides a lot of emotions, both for older people who are wondering what to take with them or what to eat while camping , and for younger people for whom it will certainly be an interesting adventure. When preparing a list of necessary things for camping, you cannot forget about a good quality sleeping bag . It is worth matching it to the season in which you are planning your trip. The sleeping bag protects against low temperatures on colder days, and provides ventilation on warmer days.

Another important issue in the case of a sleeping bag is the material from which it is made . In summer, choose materials that are durable and breathable. In winter, pay attention to the size of your sleeping bag - it must be large enough for you to feel comfortable in it. However, there cannot be too much free space, as this will lead to heat loss.

In addition to the sleeping bag, also buy a sleeping pad or mattress . Pay attention mainly to their size and thickness. They should be adapted to your body, both in width and length. Thermal insulation, indicated by the R-Value coefficient, is also important when choosing a sleeping pad or mattress.

Food at the campsite – what to take with you?

While camping, you will need to prepare meals. That's why it's worth taking a camping stove with you. It can be gas, solid fuel, biomass or wood . The choice depends primarily on your preferences and needs. Remember, however, that if you choose a gas stove, you must also take a cylinder with you. In case of an electric stove, you must ensure access to electricity.

It is also a good idea to take a grill with you as an additional device for preparing food. It is worth paying attention to its quality of workmanship, resistance to weather conditions and its efficiency. In addition, you can also take a camping refrigerator with you, which will provide great comfort while camping. You will be able to store food and cool drinks.

What else will be useful when camping?

To make your camping trip a time well spent, you need to take care of your comfort. Therefore, it is worth taking with you additionally:

  • chairs, e.g. foldable and a table,

  • a set of tourist dishes (pots, mess tins, cutlery, cups and plates),

  • portable tourist toilet,

  • phone chargers, extension cords and adapters,

  • documents,

  • things for sports and entertainment (e.g. badminton, trekking poles, board games, etc.).

Don't forget about a power bank, which will help you charge all your electronic gadgets if you don't have access to electricity. It is also worth taking quick-drying towels, garbage bags and lamps or flashlights.

A camping trip should be a nice time that you will remember with pleasure. Remember the above things and your trip will certainly be successful!

Trip # 1 Southern Europe by Tripciak Crew
Introduction word: This is our first report and at the same time such a long journey, so we will start with a few words of the introduction in which we will tell who we are and where our teaser for exploring the world in the bus came from. We are students of the 3rd year of Tourism and Recreation at the University of Physical Education in Katowice. Our fascination, or rather Bartek who infected us with it, started already in his childhood when he saw the Scooby Doo cartoon and their "The Mystery Machine" on TV for the first time, then he began to dream of his own bus in which he could travel the world and experience various adventures like the Scooby Doo crew. After a dozen or so years, he woke up and took matters into his own hands, passed his driving license and started to get a part-time job, thanks to which he managed to save a little money for his dream van. Initially, it was supposed to be a VW T1 or T2, unfortunately, after researching the market and counting the costs of buying a car and parts needed for it, the enthusiasm decreased significantly ... but finding the busikt3.radom.pl forum by accident, where he saw the T3 bus immediately caught his eye. Bartek has always liked square cars, he had many golfers and II fans of which he was a fan, so it didn't take him much time to fall in love with a classic square ... he literally just took one photo and a few seconds. The first step to making dreams come true was a long search for the desired house on wheels, half a year of searching, hundreds of advertisements, dozens of phone calls and the t3 bus forum came to help again. We managed to buy a bus literally under the nose, it turned out that only 200m from the place where Bartosz's girlfriend lived, there was a card that met all his requirements, so at the very beginning of February a bus appeared in the yard;) The plans for renovation of the bus and planning the next vacation. The choice fell on a tour of southern Europe because none of us had ever been to Croatia. However, after a dozen or so weeks, traveling a bit around Poland, it turned out that the 1.6TD unit does not cope well with long climbs, and that we love active recreation, especially in the mountains, it turned out to be a change of the busik's heart to a stronger one ... and again the long search for a suitable donor for Tripciak (this is how our T-3 was named). After a long moment of reflection and consultation with Qdaty and Robert, who already had the 1.9TDI swap behind them, we decided that it would be better to buy the whole car, take out what is needed and sell the rest than to complete all parts separately. After 3 months of searching forums and internet auctions, seeing a dozen cars that turned out to be scrap metal, Bartek, returning from university, accidentally noticed a golf 3 standing in the back of the estate with a note for sale. Unfortunately, its visual condition asked for vengeance to heaven, and the car looked as if it was begging for scrapping ... a thought immediately comes to mind - if the car is so run down and eaten by rust, it will be a mechanical disaster, in addition, this exaggerated price ... but what's the problem for me to call and arrange a visual inspection, in the end I have already had so much search, and here the car is under my nose. In a few days it was time to inspect it and, surprisingly, it turned out that the poor condition of the bodywork resulted from the fact that the car was in a warm, damp garage in the winter for half a year in a warm, damp garage where salt could easily penetrate the sheet metal because the owner often left on a business trip for several months and did not even have time to rinse the car. from salt ... but its mechanical condition turned out to be very good, the engine had no leaks, the turbo did not smoke, the car was dynamic after zvagowania did not vomit errors ... it was what we were looking for ... it was time for negotiations in which we had to make the owner aware that no one will give him that much, luckily for us, after the negotiations, we managed to cut a lot from the price and this is how Tripciak gained a dose of heart. Busik landed with Qdate and Robert, who did a good and solid job, so on the day after the swap, we could go on a journey, crushed by the leaves from work.
