Just looking for equipement and tips for a 3 day camping trip.


Answer
as an eagle scout i did a lot of camping in various types of weather here is what you need:

tent
backpack (you will be able to fit almost everything in one as opposed to suitcases; needs to be at least 4800 cubic inches)
a backpacking stove
eating utensils (such as metal pots and pans and cutlery this will make for easy cleanup)
as much food as necessary for the trip
clothing for the season
a Global Positioning System (get one in the range of about 300 to 400. they are good and some can float on water)
lots of water
a means of communication ( such as a cell phone)
a map and compass (if you re not careful the batteries in the gps will run out)
toiletries ( such as a toothbrush)
a shovel to dig your latrine
a flashlight
a watch
Extra Batteries
rain gear for everyone in your group
highly reflective blanket
fire starters
wood (if you're going to a campsite; If not you can just collect some in the woods)
matches or another way of starting a fire
let someone know where you re going and when you re expecting to be back so they know when to send for help if necessary
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST TAKE ANOTHER RESPONSIBLE ADULT. YOU MUST HAVE A BUDDY BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND/OR YOUR INJURIES !!!! YOU'RE CHILDREN WILL NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO

I need some Camping Necessities; Please help!?

My friend and I are camping for 2 nights/3 days in the Adirondacks in Lake George in June. What are some good meals (ie no cooking!!), and some supplies we could bring? We have a small car, so we won't be packing much. Thanks!


Answer
You will need a tent, sleeping bags, a backpack or duffel you can carry, clothing changes and a light jacket. All weather radio, matches in a waterproof cover, flash light, a lantern with fuel, can opener, bottled water, boxed juices, a canteen, knife, fork, and spoons, food staples ie canned and single serve like tuna, ham and chicken salads, beef jerky and dried fruits, potato chips, pretzels, and hard candies. A cell phone, fully charged, is essential. Bring a blow horn and a whistle in case you need a way to call for help. Mace is a given. Be safe and cautious and have fun.
