Camping is an addictive family activity. My family organizes 2-3 outdoor camping trips every summer. The temperature in May is more suitable. The family sets out on Friday night to find a place away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the tranquility of nature. At night, the family sits together, plays the piano, sings, looks at the stars, enjoys the fun of being close to nature, and forgets all the troubles.
Although camping has a lot of fun, it is also a luxury for an office worker. First of all, you need time and a good camping site, and you also need to prepare a lot of camping equipment. Here is a brief summary of the equipment that you should prepare for camping, for reference only:
1. Tents
Camping tents are divided into camping tents and roof tents. The biggest advantage of roof tents is that they are rainproof, moisture-proof, insect-proof, soundproof, private, safe, and especially reliable for sleeping. The disadvantage is that the price is relatively expensive. The entry-level roof tent also costs more than 5,000 yuan, which is suitable for professional players who drive for a long time.
If you go out camping occasionally, you can choose an ordinary camping tent that costs a few hundred yuan. When choosing a camping tent, you should consider lightness, strength, windproof, waterproof, rainproof, moisture-proof, and warmth if the weather is cold.
1. Tent size: You can choose the size of the tent according to the number of people camping. For example, there are 4 people in our family, my wife and I, and two children are all slim, so a tent with a size of 220×200×135 is enough. If you are taller, you should choose a larger one.
2. Tent material: The material of the tent is generally Oxford cloth, but Oxford cloth is also divided into three, six, and nine grades. If you don't know how to choose, try to choose a more expensive tent, and the tent material will definitely be better. If you need sun protection, choose a tent with a sunscreen coating.
3. Convenient installation and storage: This is very important. It is best to have a hydraulic rod, which can be installed and stored in a few minutes.
The mat in the tent can be an ordinary moisture-proof mat or an inflatable mat. The ordinary moisture-proof mat costs dozens of yuan, and the inflatable mat ranges from 100 to 200 yuan.
2. Sleeping bags
Sleeping bags are mainly used to keep out the cold, and at the same time they are more comfortable. When choosing a sleeping bag, you should see whether the filling material is fluffy and warm, light in weight, and easy to carry. The filling material is mostly polyester fiber, shaped cotton, imitation feather cotton, and a small amount of duck down. Mugodi's sleeping bag is quite good. The inner layer is sanded, delicate and warm, and the filling material is shaped cotton, fluffy and warm. The surface layer is polyester fabric, which is not easy to wrinkle and is not afraid of dragging and friction. The width is upgraded to 84cm, which can be spliced up and down to become a double sleeping bag.
3. Picnic mat
The mat used for picnics and playing can be selected according to the number of people. If there are few people, choose 2x2 meters, and if there are many people, choose 3x3 meters. This picnic mat made by JD Jingzao is quite good. It has three thick layers, and the material is moderately soft and hard. It is very comfortable to sit or lie down. The bottom layer is a waterproof and moisture-proof layer, which can block moisture and heat and does not stick to grass. The workmanship is also very good, the pattern is beautiful, and children also like it. There is no odor and it supports machine washing.
4. Outdoor camping car
The camping car is equivalent to a large-capacity suitcase. It can hold a lot of tents, sleeping bags, food, and things used for camping. You can put them in the camping car and take them away in one car without having to carry them many times. Because the wheels of the camping car are huge and non-slip, they can drive smoothly on the beach, gravel road, and mud road. The camping car is foldable and very convenient to store. As a camping enthusiast, a camping car is one of the necessary equipment.
You can refer to the brand, capacity, material, load-bearing, convenient storage, and wheels when choosing a camping car. Common brands such as Explorer, Mogo, JD Jingzao, Beihuan, Makotu, Primitive, Camel, etc. are all OK, 150~200L is enough. You can take a look at this camper made by Jingdong Jingzao. The capacity is 127L, and the full capacity is 250L. The built-in folding bottom plate makes the force more even. The frame adopts a thickened spray-coated bracket, which can bear a load of 120KG. Double-layer wear-resistant non-woven fabric is resistant to pulling, strengthens the load-bearing capacity, and has a long service life.
You can add a table board to the camper, eat or put things on it, so there is no need to prepare additional portable seats.
5. Outdoor power supply
There is no electricity in the wilderness when camping in the wild. There are only two ways to use electricity for camping, either by car power generation or by bringing your own mobile power supply. Car power generation requires an inverter. The price of the inverter is not expensive, but the current oil price is quite expensive, and the cost of car power generation is too high. Relatively speaking, mobile power supplies are more suitable. The outdoor power supply can charge cameras and video cameras, and can also bring rice cookers and induction cookers to cook. It can also illuminate LED lights and projectors at night.
6. Camping stoves
Generally, camping outdoors will make a fire to cook, wash vegetables and cook with family and friends, and then taste the fruits of their labor together. The feeling is completely different from cooking and eating at home. Even if there is a mobile power supply, it is not recommended to use a battery stove to cook. The battery stove has too much power and the mobile power supply will run out of power quickly. We usually use a cassette stove when camping outdoors. It has great power and good windproof effect. You can take a look at Jinyu cassette stove, which has a high power of 2900W, is windproof, explosion-proof, and can be adapted to various cooking utensils. It comes with an electric ceramic ignition device and can be used more than 10,000 times. It is small in size and easy to carry.
There are also liquefied gas tanks, kettles for boiling water, and cooking utensils for cooking.
7. Car refrigerator
Outdoor camping takes 1~2 days, and food is easy to deteriorate in summer and needs to be frozen and preserved. Cold drinks also need to be frozen to taste better, so it is very necessary to prepare a car refrigerator. Car refrigerators include brands such as Pruneda, Meigu, Indel, New Focus, Ice Tiger, Meiling, and Xinfei. The Ice Tiger car refrigerator is pretty good. It uses compressor refrigeration, with a temperature range of -20°C~20°C. It can be refrigerated, frozen, slightly frozen, and chilled. It uses high-molecular polyurethane insulation material, which has strong heat preservation and cold storage capabilities and lasting temperature lock.
The capacity can be 30L, 40L, and 50L. If the population is small, the 30L capacity is enough, which can hold food for a family for two days. 60W power, built-in low-voltage protection measures, intelligent detection of car batteries, to prevent the car battery from running out. With a telescopic pull rod, it is easy to move.
It should be reminded that you must pay attention to fire safety when camping. If you are near the woods, never use open flames.
8. Camping lights
Camping lights are very important equipment for camping. They are basically used for lighting at night. It is unreliable to use mobile phones for lighting. Camping lights are bright, easy to use, and very atmospheric. You can choose any brand of camping lights, but try to choose camping lights that support solar charging, because electricity is a very precious resource in the wild. If the camping light supports solar charging, you don't need to consume the power of the mobile power supply. You can take a look at this solar camping light from Walson. It has a built-in polycrystalline silicon panel and can be charged when there is light.
It supports two tones of cold and warm, multi-level dimming, and a full sense of atmosphere. There are 28 LED high-brightness lamp beads inside, low power consumption and high brightness. It supports large floodlighting and can illuminate an area of 30 to 60 square meters. The strong light mode can last for 10 hours, and the weak light mode can last for 45 hours.
Other items that may be used for camping include tape, hammer, first aid kit, sunscreen, floral water, toothpaste and toothbrush, water cup, disinfectant alcohol, soap, comb, towel, wet wipes, paper towel, camping light, umbrella. Tableware to prepare for meals (chopsticks, knives, paper cups). If you want to see the scenery, you can bring a telescope. If you need to take pictures, you can use a mobile phone or digital camera. If you have children with you, you need to bring some toys, such as footballs, frisbees, kites, drones, etc.
Before camping, the most important thing is to choose a location. You must choose a relatively safe place where people have been camping for a long time. Then it is best to plan accordingly and prepare the equipment needed for camping according to the plan. Not every item must be brought. The principle of outdoor camping is to have as few things as possible to meet basic needs. Pay attention to your own safety and the safety of fire and electricity.
