Camping essentials checklist (tested)

On August 17, 2022 by

I remember the times when I was still living in Kamchatka, with my parents we were going camping many times. As for a child is an unforgettable experience: staying close to nature, cooking on a fire, and sleeping with the sounds of a river or an ocean. Kamchatka itself has one of the most beautiful nature on the planet, and I highly recommend visiting it. But this is not the point 🙂 Later on, we moved 9000 km away from there and my family continued going out for a weekend with tend until these days. What I loved the most, was that my parents and their friends were always super prepared for even a couple of days staying outside with tend. We had always everything for comfortable leisure.

Now I have my own family and my kids, and I still love to do the same. Also, my husband used to do camping for many years. The only thing is a different experience of camping in Italy and Russia. In Italy is prohibited free camping, you must reserve a spot in a special place, but means you will be never alone and really in wild conditions. In Russia, as there is much more free space for everyone, is the way much more easy to organize your free wild experience with friends and night fire. And since I live in Italy my idea of camping changed a little, but not a long time ago I made my Checklist of camping essentials, ether with tend ether with camper-van.

In this post below you will find two lists: one is complete I made for our the most comfortable experience, and the second one is super minimalistic and naturally less expensive. I want to ensure you that I did my research on every item in this list, and I found the best solutions in our opinion for the best experience 😉
