Camping checklist for beginners

Don't know what to bring to camping? Let's see below,

There are a wide variety of camping gear available in the market. Some focus on comfort and some focus on light weight. Some people like driving to camping sites, and some people prefer hiking instead. There are no fit-for-all camping gear, especially for beginners, and the most important thing is to choose based on your needs.

The camping tent set includes a breathable inner layer and a waterproof outer layer, poles and pegs. The double-layer design can reduce the accumulation of water vapor inside the tent and keep inside dry. The waterproof outer layer passed a shower tested under 2000 mm of water / hour / sqm (tropical rain) & field tests.

Pay attention to the following points when choosing sleeping bags,

Height vs Sleeping bag length
If the sleeping is too small will make you difficult to turn around; sleeping bag too long in addition to adding unnecessary weight, the larger the space inside the sleeping bag, the more energy the body needs to keep warm.

Environmental temperature vs. Comfort temperature
The sleeping bag is marked with "comfort temperature". It is wise that to choose sleeping bag according to the weather. Note that the temperature in the campsite used to be lower than in the urban area, you may need to choose a sleeping bag with lower comfort temperature.

Note : Our sleeping bags are marked in comfort temperature, while other brand might marked with limit temperature. 

Hood vs No hood
A sleeping bag without hood is more suitable for people who turn a lot when sleeping; Most of the heat loss from your head, sleeping bag with a hood is more efficient to reserve body temperature.

Material vs Weight
Down sleeping bag is the lightest and the price is more expensive; the synthetic fiber is usually heavier and the price is more affordable.

Sleeping mat is often missed out on camping checklist. It improves sleeping quality, in addition to keeping you away from the chill. there are different types of sleeping mats, foam, inflated, and self-inflated.

Foam - The lightest, easy to set up, easy to store; the one disadvantage is the large packed size. Usually tied outside backpack when carrying.
Inflated - Available in different sizes and thicknesses. Depending on the material, the weight varies and has different styles.
Self-inflated - Spongy placed inside the mattress makes it self-inflated. Usually thinner than the inflatable mat.

Of course pillow is a must on a camping checklist! Inflatable pillows save space and weight more than regular pillows and improve the quality of sleep during camping.

For camping beginners, it is better to cook simple meals, such as noodle soup, pasta, and small hot pot. Fuel for cooking is one of the camping essentials for beginners!
