I'm going camping for the first time next week. Any ideas about what kinds of things that need to take?

We stayed at a campsite, but want live as much of the "outdoor life" as possible. cooking is, for ourselves, the use of forests for food, light the fire, go walking, basically to escape the city. Any help and advice will be greatly welcomed. Thank you very much.

Ahhhh … my favorite question! I'll try not to ramble forever! There are two types of camping – car camping and trekking. It means camping car is parked at the campsite, and the pack means that the park on a trail, up and then set up a campsite. With car camping can afford to take more, much heavier things, and things that probably already have at home. (Like, instead of a sleeping bag, you can take tons of blankets and sheets and such …. even a crib.) recommend camping in his first outing, despite backpack is much more fun! To sleep: Shop Groundcloth / Tarp tents sleeping bag (mummy bag would be better) insulation pad (I prefer Thermarest) (These are not just for comfort, but also to help keep warm.) long underwear – if in a place that gets below 40 degrees at night pillow or travel pillow – Optional dining: Food Café wood stove (camping car) dishes (if pack, cup and spoon will get you through any food) container of biodegradable soap for the field of Stock plates and wire for hanging food, if in bear country Lighter / waterproof matches hygiene Cooler: biodegradable soap (doubles as shampoo) Toothpaste, toothbrush of teeth, etc, etc. Wet wipes (my preference over shower things) Comb Mirror (mirror serves as an emergency signal) Emergencies: First Aid Kit Whistle compass map, etc., if clothing or backpack hiking Cell phone: layers! It's much colder in the early hours of the morning which is at 3pm! Many of fleece for heat. A parka If you are a cool place. Tank tops and shirts for warmer weather. Be prepared for rain, too. For fun: A deck of cards, books, hiking boots, iPod / walkman, camp chair There are tons of books on camping. Depending on how serious you are about your first time, you can do as much or as little reading you want. Above all, I think camping is trial and error. You'll find things that were "uncomfortable" with the first trip, you will make adjustments for the second trip. (Like learning the hard way that it takes time to dry socks once they are wet, and knowing the importance of having at least two pairs, etc.) If you're serious enough about it, you'll want to read specific books to improve the skills you want. (Wilderness Medicine, backpacker, backpack ultralight, edible plants, etc, etc)
