What are the basic essentials I would need for camping, as in equipment or devices?
Kit: A tent, sleeping mattress pad and sleeping bag. From there it depends on if you are camping in your backyard or at a campground with your car right next to you for supplies or if you are carrying everything on your back to your camp site because if you are simply in your backyard or car-camping at a campground you don’t even necessarily need to have a sleeping bag as you can make do with blankets from home and in fact this makes some people feel more comfortable in the early stages of learning to camp.
