A tent is the most common source of shelter used when camping. If you haven't set up your tent before, set it up in your yard once or twice before you arrive at your campsite to get some practice. Tents come in many different sizes. If you're camping alone, you could get a small, single-person tent. If you're camping with someone else, get a tent that accommodates both of you. If you plan on going hiking or climbing during your camping trip, you'll want a backpack. The size of the pack you decide to bring depends on how far you'll be hiking. Longer, more intense hikes will require a larger and sturdier backpack, while easier day hikes will only require a small day pack. Backpacks are either frameless, or have an internal or external frame. Internal frame packs tend to be more expensive and sit flush against your back. External frame packs are more affordable and tend to provide more ventilation. However, they are bulkier than internal frame packs. Smaller day packs that don't hold much are usually frameless. A sturdy rope has lots of uses when camping. You can use it as a clothesline, or cut it into various lengths in order to hang pots or bind your sleeping pad to your backpack. You'll want to store and coil your rope correctly when you pack it to avoid tangling. A tarp can provide additional protection for the bottom of your tent, or it can be stretched over your tent to keep it extra-dry. The size of the tarp you get depends on the size of your tent. The larger your tent, the larger the tarp you bring along. A battery-powered flashlight or headlamp is important for helping you find your way around your campsite after dark. Headlamps can be useful to complete tasks around your campsite, as your hands will be free. Be sure to pack extra batteries. You might also want to bring a battery-powered lantern. Collapsible camping chairs are perfect for sitting around the fire or just lounging around the campsite. The best camping chairs are lightweight and sold in specialty backpacking stores. If you're camping with a group, advise each person in your party to bring a foldable camping chair of their own.
