For those who are camping for the first time, the preparation of camping equipment before departure will be a big problem. Because I have no experience, I don’t know if I will camp again in the future? Faced with the dazzling array of camping equipment, I don’t know which ones should be purchased and which ones should be borrowed by merchants.
and you may not even have a concept of what kind of camping style you like. Even if you have enough silver bullets, you don’t know how to start. So, let’s briefly introduce the basic equipment that new campers may need!
1 There are hundreds of styles of tents + floor cloth + floor cloth
. When purchasing, you should pay attention to details. It is not recommended to start rashly. It is recommended to borrow from friends or rent them from the market equipment rental company at the beginning. There are even many camps that can be rented.

, you can first consider the yurt-style tent with two pillars crossing. This style is the popular mainstream style now. It is mainly easy to carry and easy to mount, and it is also light in weight, which is very suitable for beginners. Moreover, there are many purchasing pipes, which can be found in hypermarkets. Please pay attention to the material selection and pay attention to waterproofness and breathability.
In addition, usually a tent will be attached with a piece of floor 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 effect of blocking wet and cold. I think outdoor controllers can also prepare a moisture-proof mat and then lay it inside the tent, which will be more comfortable in the wet and cold winter! Moreover, the beautiful moisture-proof mat can be taken out as a picnic mat on weekdays, with many functions.
Suggestions for beginners: rent/borrow first to participate in camping, understand the tent setting and usage details before purchasing.

Cooking account/living room account
Cooking account or some people call it the living room account. Its main function is to provide shelter from the sun and shelter from the wind and rain so that outdoor controls can sit leisurely and chat and drink tea, and also provide cooking space.
After hanging side cloths in the living room tent, it can cope with many climate changes when outdoors are sunny and rainy, but the weight and weight are heavy and the space is not small, so many outdoor control options are to share it with friends or just set up a sky curtain tent.
Suggestions for beginners: share with your friends or choose to camp in a camp with a canopy first, and then decide how to buy it depending on the situation.

Tianmu Notice
Daily Notice verbal habits and preferences. It is recommended that novices choose one of the kitchen account and the sky account. The sky curtain tent is lighter than the living room tent, and the choice of patterns is more lively, but it cannot completely cover up the wind and rain. At the same time, more techniques are used to set up the tent, so the floor space is also required.
’s advice for beginners: first observe how veteran drivers set up a sky curtain before deciding whether they need to buy it.

camping tools
such as camp nails, camp mallets, camp pillars, camp ropes, etc. are of course necessary. Especially on days when the weather is changing, using camp nails and camp ropes to strengthen fortifications can greatly increase the tent's resistance to wind and rain. Moreover, good tools not only allow you to achieve twice the result with half the effort, but also double the safety! Of course, tools like Yingmao can be borrowed from familiar friends at the beginning.
Suggestions for beginners: All tents have nailed camp ropes, but it doesn’t matter if you prepare more.

About cooking
Stove: It is recommended to choose a cassette gas stove or mountaineering stove for the get-go. As for double-mouth furnaces and fast furnaces, due to their large and heavy size, they will not be considered for the first time. Choose a light stove at the beginning, which has many opportunities to use. You can carry it on outings, hiking or mountaineering. The firepower is stable and it is very convenient to cook.
pots and utensils: If you just want to keep everything simple, you can first use the ready-made pots and utensils at home. It is recommended to bring a pan and a soup pot to meet most needs. A pan is used for frying and baking. In addition to boiling water and instant noodles, the soup pot can also be used to cook hot pot.
tableware: We do not recommend using no-wash tableware. Stackable wooden or stainless steel bowls and plates are good choices.After that, you will get started with camping and then buy style tableware according to your personal taste and preferences!
’s advice for beginners: first use ready-made props at home and then purchase them one after another.

Furniture category: tables and chairs, camping lamps, tableware hanging baskets, ice buckets
Tables and chairs: can be simple or complex. Some people can just wear small folding tables with scout chairs, while others don’t even bring a table at all, just a comfortable chair. Usually if you don’t run a house, it is recommended to bring an existing folding table from home or buy an egg roll table. However, if you need to run a house, you should consider the weight of the table. After all, the weight of food and pots is considerable, so you should choose a more secure table if you consider safety issues. As for the chair, you can bring a small stool at home at the beginning, then observe the equipment of other campers, and then find out the type that suits your needs.
Suggestions for beginners: A camping chair that can make people relax and usually store but does not occupy a seat is worth owning. Not only can camping be used, it is also suitable for placing it in the balcony of the front yard at home.
Tableware hanging basket: What newbies are likely to ignore is the tableware hanging basket. Strictly speaking, if your table is big enough, some people will put the washed plate directly on the table and air-dry it. However, if you have fully simplified your equipment, only bring a small table, and have to put pots and tableware, you may not be able to stuff it. At this time, the hanging basket is a very convenient and space-saving helper, the key is to store light and conveniently.
ice bucket/refrigerator: Many friends who are looking for portable fresh-keeping refrigerators, but even if there is no portable refrigerator, there are many alternatives that can be adapted. The ice bucket or the outer pot of the smolder pot plus refrigerant ice tiles have a certain level of cold-keeping ability.
lighting equipment: Most of the camps now have power supply. The most common plug-in camp lights are fine in most camps. The price is not high and it is easy to buy. Pay attention to choosing insect-proof light bulbs, which can also avoid the trouble of flying insects.
advice for beginners: these items are not expensive compared to the unit price, and they are generally available in daily life, so you can add them according to your preferences.

Clothes
First pay attention to the season and activities you are engaged in to choose suitable clothes. For example, if you are playing with water, you must prepare more dry clothes for washing; if you are climbing, it is best to wear breathable trousers. But no matter what, the climate in the mountainous areas changes so even in summer, you have to prepare a warm coat.
Winter camping is recommended, onion-style wear and multi-layer thin clothes. Clothes with moisture-absorbing and sweating properties are very practical. Don’t forget the thin long-sleeved tops, which are both insect-proof and sun-proof. If you have children, it is recommended to bring a raincoat. A pair of shoes that are not afraid of water will be practical for both adults and children!
advice for beginners: be sure to wear thin long-sleeved coats in summer, and a good windproof jacket can be used in winter.

Bedding
The most basic bedding is to cover the body and lay it on the ground. Even in summer, many mountain camps may be very cold at night.
In summer, a thin blanket may be enough to go to a low-altitude camp. In other three seasons, warmer quilts or sleeping bags will be used. There are many outdoor controls that vacuum your own down quilt and take them out. Sleeping bags are also easy to rent equipment, and it is not a big problem to not have to buy them in the early stage.
If you want to buy it, please pay attention to the comfort temperature marked by the sleeping bag as the main reference indicator. Mummy-style sleeping bags are warmer; generally square sleeping bags have a larger space for moving space and are more comfortable.
The sleeping mats laid on the ground are all used by people, including tin foil pads, foam sleeping mats, inflatable sleeping mats, camp beds, and even clever mats. In recent years, the mainstream style independent tube inflatable sleeping mats for family camping have the highest comfort level. You can rent them for the first few camping trips.
small reminder: It is very recommended to carry earplugs. Putting aside some of the uncommon friends who are still making noise in the middle of the night, sometimes there are inevitable baby crying or snoring in the next door. Instead of making yourself tired the next day, it is better to bring earplugs to let yourself have a good sleep!
advice for beginners: avoid winter temporarily when camping for the first time, so as not to impulse to buy a bunch of heavy equipment and find that it is not available in other seasons.

Toiletries
Like travel, cleaning supplies can be carried in small bottles, which is much easier.In addition, making good use of travel storage bags can also make your luggage lighter and more efficient in use!
Suggestions for beginners: bring a piece of soap! Sometimes soap works better than shower gel and dishwashing serum.
10
Toiletries Large garbage bags and rubber bands (or cotton ropes)
Large garbage bags are very useful. In addition to sorting out the surrounding garbage, if the supplies are wet when collecting accounts, it is most convenient to just pack them in large plastic bags and take them away. In addition, when it is temporarily necessary to store items in different categories, large garbage bags can also come in handy. In addition, rubber bands and ropes are also unexpectedly useful things, which can help you store items more firmly and neatly.
