Camping Checklists

Camping Checklists

These camping checklists are intended to be complete enough to cover almost any type of outdoor camping, from an over-night camp out in a local field, to a week-end Scout event, to a week-long hunting camp in the mountains, but of course there will be stuff you need to add for your particular needs. (remember – don’t check an item off until it is actually ready to be packed)

• NOTE: Each camping checklist will have printer-friendly options for print-outs in MS Word or PDF doc formats

Personal Gear/Bedding Checklist: Whether it is a group outdoor camping event with a base camp, or a hiking trip where it is all on your back, there are some items that are basic/personal and needed no matter what type of outing you are going on.

Tents/Shelter Checklist: A tent camping checklist might seem pretty basic, but you only need to forget one or two small items, and what should have been a pleasure can quickly become an ordeal! Now where are those tent stakes?

Campfire Checklist: This campfire checklist includes the basics needed to build a campfire, and what you need for campfire safety! From a small hiking campfire, to a large group-use campfire.

Campfire Cooking Checklist: A campfire cooking checklist can be as simple as a fork, spoon, and individual mess kit, to a multi-page full camp kitchen set-up. Just evaluate your single or group meal needs to pack the right items.

Camp Tools/Accessories Checklist: It’s easy to remember the lanterns and tarps for your campsite, but it’s amazing how often the little things that make camp life easy, (like S-hooks), get forgotten and left behind. This checklist will help.
