Camping Equipment List / Checklist:Make your camping equipment list and check it twice! Be sure to bring all of the necessary camping gear and equipment to ensure an enjoyable and memorable outdoor experience. Not sure what gear or equipment to bring on your outdoor adventure? Utilize the camping equipment checklist that we have created for our customers and outdoor enthusiasts.One thing to keep in mind is: do not over pack for your camping trip! Unless you have a Suburban and all the room in the world, you will want to consider bringing as little as possible. Determining what camping equipment to bring will depend on the type of camping you are doing. Also, try not to duplicate items others may bring. Realize that you're going camping and not relocating your home! You do not want to take everything including the kitchen sink! (see picture below :^) Coordinate and consolidate your camping gear accordingly to ensure an enjoyable outdoor experience.

It usually last for 2-3 days in a standard cooler, 4-5 days in an extreme 5 day cooler. Split the block in half and put a block on each side of the cooler. Add your food and drinks, then fill in the remaining spaces with cubed ice. Keep your cooler in the shade if possible.
