20 Camping Must-Haves You Can't Leave Home Without! Camping Hacks & Secrets To Improve Your Campsite

[@Slatts27]

I would recommend the first thing to pack before all that crap would be a quality first aid kit

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

100% mate. alot of people oversee the first aid kit.👍👍👍

[@absitinvidia3948]

I thought you need to have first aid kit in car by law. At least it is in my country.

[@wjdghaks]

Good stuff. I personally wouldn't call a Jaffle-iron a 'must-have'.. Would definitely add in first-aid kit/meds-bag.

We can't go camping without a good rake. Rake the area where you plan to pitch your tent, then lay down your tarp, pitch your tent & you're good to go with no worries about rocks & or small pebbles or sticks underneath you whilst you're trying to rest

[@adjrasta9365]

Best tip ever, i hve soft feet lol

[@gqwarrior6694]

Great tip. Just the head of a leaf rake works fine as lone as you have no problem bending down. The old boy showed me that one some 40 odd years ago.

[@lukeclarke8054]

First aid kit should be permanent in a car. It should actually start being a part of a rwc.

[@skitzy8189]

Toilet paper or Tissues plus I got kids so I try to get them to take a hat and there own torches so there’s no fights..

[@joshuaculross1387]

First aid kit and a fire extinguisher that’s easy to access, not burried under everything. Mine is mounted in the passenger footwell, easy to get to from driver seat or from the camping side of the car

[@Wayne-Pr]

1st up check the weather for the area that you are planning in going to dont travel in tje fire season or if storms are forcast especially if it involves river crossings or camping near a river, rivers can rise very fast & take a long time to go down, also make sure that tje area that you are planning on going is open & accessable. Make sure you have communications that will work in the area that you are going, not so people can contact you, but so if something goes wrong or there is a life & death emergency you can contact someone to get that urgent help or emergency assistance. If not a chain saw of some sort how about a good quality bush saw of some sort & what about a good quality tow strap, they have lots of uses. Re 12v power how about some sort of solar panel to charge your secondary nattery whilst you are camped up. What about a good set of basic tools & some spare fuses hate to get stranded for a $1.00 fuse, how about a good quality jack, a base of some sort for under the jack in case its sandy of muddie & a good quality recovery strap & a couple of goid quality shakles. You should never leave home to go away camping without a good quality pump & a puncture repair kit. All the really basic things that could save a trip from disaster.

[@CasperLabuschagne]

What you call mesh floors, in South Africa we call netted groundsheets. This is essential for numerous reasons. Dirt simply falls through it meaning it never has to be swept and is self-cleaning. Moisture also simply falls through thus no puddles accumulate on the tarp under the awning. It also protects the bottom of the tent and i usually pat down the net over where the tent will be placed to locate any sharp objects poking through. The most important reason is that it places a breathable layer between the campsite lawn and the tent which largely eliminates those dead lawn rectangles common to frequently used campsites. When I get to a campsite I take into account where north is, where strong wind comes from by looking for leaning trees and consider the best view as well as privacy. I then position the netted groundsheet appropriately, peg it down and my campsite geometry is laid out and it all but eliminates moving the tent this way or that way. I agree on the long-handled fixed spade. It is more important than any other piece of gear for getting you out of sand or mud, it allows you to dig a trench around your tent if the entire campsite area is in danger of being flooded, it allows you to dig a small latrine trench where you simply back-fill only the "used section" as well as levelling any bumps and humps where you might want to erect your tent. A spade is a formidable and robust weapon in even semi skilled hands and many a scorpion was coaxed onto a spade and took a taxi trip into the bush on that spade while if you really have to defend yourself against a snake, the spade is there. Somewhere where you can stand up while changing is an essential when camping. You can fit a fold-out shower cubicle on the roof-rack or you can buy a cheap pop-up privacy tent that serves as a changing room, shower cubicle and a place to use either a porta-potty or even a simple bucket lined with a bio-degradable plastic liner where you can bury the bag after you have done your business. You don't need an expensive shower kit, you can adequately bathe and wash your hair using a bucket of water into which you poured a kettle of heated water. Camping involves travelling and spending many hours in the car. Wet wipes are essential to keep hands clean in the vehicle, to wipe down and freshen faces and should also accompany every toilet roll since nobody wants an itchy rear end while sitting in the car for the next six hours. If you have a roof rack, you don't need an expensive fold-out tarp. I had a 2.4m x 2.4m synthetic tarp made as a rain cover for whatever is on the roof-rack. I had eyelets fitted every 40cm and on the corners. Using small loops made from paracord, I can rapidly fit this tarp to the one side of the roof-rack and use two telescopic tent poles with guide ropes and pegs on the other side to keep this tarp up. This folds up in a flat bag the size of a newspaper and is stored inside the vehicle without being a drag on the roof affecting fuel economy. When I pitch the OZ-tent RV3, I use this same sheet on the floor inside the tent as added floor protection and when it gets dirty with muddy feet or whatever, it is taken outside to be washed down in order to keep the inside of the tent perfectly clean.

[@joshuaorourke1976]

Great tip about the tarp off the roof instead of a proper foldout.

[@jayodon67]

You forgot the bog roll! I suppose you could use the baby wipes but bog roll works well to help get a fire going if need be too.

Not a month long trip doing hard tracks in bucket list destination.
