How many times have you gone camping and realized you forgot to bring half the things you actually need? Packing for a camping trip is definitely a little different than packing for an all inclusive vacation, so we've compiled a COMPLETE CAMPING CHECKLIST to share with you. This list has been compiled over years of camping trips, and we're happy to say that we don't complain about forgetting anything anymore! It includes everything you need for sleeping, cooking, personal items, and overall camping essentials. It can be used for the absolute beginner all the way to the experienced camper.
Many of the items we include on this list are for, what we call, 'comfy camping'. This is your Front Country type camping where you will be staying at a maintained campsite. However, that doesn't mean this list can't be used for other types of camping as well!
Update: Our gear has changed a bit so below are some convenient purchase links for you guys to our latest gear!

We're Tia and Andy and we both love to travel! We work full time in tech the industry, but during our spare time we are always planning our next adventure! We created this channel to share our travel experiences, along with tips and tricks on planning, packing, finding great flight deals, and everything travel related. We hope you enjoy our adventures!
Looking for more information on camping? Let us know what your questions are or what type of additional videos you'd like to see!
I totally enjoyed your presentation! You laughter was contagious LOL!
Happy camping don't forget
Hey are yall a Christian couple, it seems so but I could be wrong
What is that red tent in the thumbnail?
Foil packet meals. Make your first layer parchment paper. Then wrap in foil. Total game changer. Nothing burned, nothing stuck to the foil. And clean up was a breeze because I just opened up the packet down the middle and ate right out of it.
woah! game changer for sure!! we'll be adding the parchment paper to our packing list for sure!
@@TiaandAndy also was able to burn the parchment paper in the fire pit afterwards and then the foil got crumpled up really small and disposed of properly
What are some things to put in the foiled meals?
@@sandymackendrick6135 I love cooking salmon, tilapia, etc this way because it never dries out and gets tough, plus the veggies steam perfectly. I also cook shrimp this way. My typical seafood packet is a filet, and either broccoli or asparagus, then I add some garlic butter and lemon. Wrap it up tight in parchment, then in 2 separate layers of foil. I have also done pre-cooked frozen meatballs with a variety of veggies. If I'm doing steak I like to cook that on the fire pit grill, but I peel and slice a potato (per person) and wrap it in parchment with butter and seasonings to taste. Then double foil and into the coals it goes. Potatoes will brown up nicely, no sticking, no burning and you can also do corn on the cob in a packet with butter exactly the same. The trick is to seal up the parchment really well to keep all the moisture inside, and turn the packets regularly. I practiced a bunch of recipes at home ahead of time with my charcoal BBQ to get the timing right. There are a zillion recipes out there. And you can modify most of them to your liking. Good luck
Great idea thank you so much for sharing
a Wok? The two of youse are a GENIUS camping couple! For plates I use a small baking sheet pan, this channel has taught me so much thanks!
Hey KJ, thanks for that comment! Made our day! Yeah the wok was a stroke of genius on our part too. We need a pot and a pan…. So the Asian in me just came up with a wok!
Great list. I would recommend one more item. Petroleum jelly. Works as a moisturizer, lip balm, lubricant for stuck hinges, bolts etc and a fire starter when spread thinly on twigs or paper.
This is such a great addition, thanks for sharing! We just recently discovered cotton ball + petroleum jelly homemade fire starter and it is such a game changer!
Petroleum jelly, one of your best camping friends! A little flint, a little steel, you got a toasty farrrrr!
Very kind of you guys to take the time and great effort to share your knowledge and expertise!
Great list! Thank you so much for your guys to share your experience. I'm going to camp this weekend. It's super helpful!
My input for additional warmth - $10 from Homer’s: 24 in. x 10 ft. Double Reflective Insulation. Trust me, it will keep you warm, top, bottom, or lightly toasted on both sides!
Super helpful thank you!
Garbage bags or something to collect your trash in is helpful too
Glad it was helpful! And yes. garbage bags are super helpful! even though we keep a box of them in the car, we always grab a few extra on the way out!
Portable speaker, portable charger
oh yes. great addition to the list!
I've camped every summer for many years. What I do is place my items in numbered boxes ( box #1, #2 etc... ) then make a checklist of what's in each box ( ie tent, pillow, sleeping bag ). Same with what's in my backpack and toiletry bag. So if I want to find something I just look at my checklist. This prevents wasted time having to look for things and more time enjoying the camping trip.
Not a bad system! We’ve had our bucket for years and always keep things in the same spot. So we’ve gotten a mental map of this.
Great list .I would add bear spray depending on where you are camping. String lights just for fun. Privacy or Shower tent if there is no toilet/shower room.
oh good call! oh my god... yes. bear spray is a must in bear country. Especially during April... they're not so cuddly when they're hungry!
In russa we learn wrestling for that
smart
Thank you for sharing your camping tips. They’re very helpful. 😊
even though I'm not going outside
I will take this list for my inside camping
Thank you all so much for this amazing video! It's been a huge help.
you guys are exactly what I was looking for thank you! also wanted to say I like your voices
Great job guys. Thank you for sharing the checklist as well.
No problem!
Thanks guys
Really nice to see people giving back
Thanks so much y’all, planning my first camping trip so this is great!
Our pleasure! This is a great list for camping.
Awesome reminder video, and thanks so much for including the download.
No problem!
Thanks for the list!
No problem!
Omg thank you for the list!
No problem!! We hope it's useful~!
The list is much appreciated!
Thanks Carlos!
Thanks for reminding us of things we would have forgotten (:
No problem, enjoy your camping trip!
This is brilliant!! Since we are all stuck here this summer, I really want to take the kids camping. I was already looking into essentials, this came at the perfect time:). Thanks guys for saving me time, your video covered it all.
Great! glad we can help. please let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see!
You guys are well prepared! We've just been talking about going camping this summer for the first time in ages, so this video was helpful 😄 You reminded me I definitely need to upgrade my torch....
Glad it was helpful! when buying a torch, make sure to get one that's USB rechargeable! it makes all the difference.
@@TiaandAndy Thanks! My current one is a wind up torch, lol!
We are planning a camping trip next month so this was very helpful! 😊
Oh awesome, we've forgotten at least 1 thing EVERY time we go camping despite having a camping list. We seriously need to start re watching this video as a recap before we head out haha. Glad you found it helpful. Whereabouts are you heading for some camping??
@@TiaandAndy Well we live in Washington state so just around the area 😊
Thank you guys! That was very helpful. P.S. Going out the first time, gotta be PREPARED!
Good video. Thank you for checklist.
no problem! hopefully it's useful. let us know if we've forgotten anythign!
Phenomenal video, you guys have great energy! I was smiling throughout!!!! Fantastic content. New subscriber!
Thanks so much! Comments like this really mean a lot to us :)
List is great, i do recommend trash bags and batteries for no solar powered flashlights/lamps
Thanks, BrianSantiago. We have all lithium powered gear so won’t need batteries!
Cooking gear: use a sheet size of the al foil, form in a shallow cup. Place burger in it on the grill or pan, turn when needed! Pan remains clean!
Essential tools for 2022! I'm going green,like lost in the wilderness green! Thanks to the both of you! Don't forget the dog 🐕 and dogfood guys
Getting ready to take my kids camping for the first time in their lives and this was really helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful video. Thanks for that you guys are awesome
Thanks so much!

Reminds me of camping with my parents i love it thanks so much
Great! thanks for watching!
Good to know thank you this is good to know
Another awesome video guys, keep up the great work

Merry Christmas Tia and Andy

Very helpful thank you!!
No worries, Dev! hope you enjoyed that camping trip!
Thank you for this!!
No problem 😊
Thanks for video, we are just getting back into tent camping ourselves. Please continue on, younse are already ahead of us. :)
No problem! Hope you enjoy!!
This is great, im going camping for the first time ever and most these things I would have forgot
Glad you found it useful!
You guys are the sweetest...thank you
Thanks for watching, Cesar!
thank you!! love you guys!
♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much! 😃🥰
Thanks, great tips!!!
You bet!
Nice video with some good recommendations. After some experience many people find value in minimizing the amount of gear & "stuff" they bring and seek ways to reduce weight.
Oh absolutely! We bring this much stuff when we’re going with friends for the luxury life. Our most used list is much more paired down!
i pack most things in storage containers one can even be used for washing dishes i also always bring fire starters or scrap paper and a table for a cooking station and if you have the room i suggest a garden rake for clearing the area where you set up camp
watching right now before packing up and heading out - thanks for the reminders xd
No problem!! Enjoy your trip!
the explanation about camping checklists is very good
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
You forgot toilet paper and paper towels 😁
Great addition! Those are definitely handy to also pack!
Thank y'all planning to go lake camping this April here in West Texas
Hope you have a great time! Let us know if you have any questions that weren't answered in the video!
Thanks for this video it is helpful. i have not gone camping. .. you guys are awesome
Thanks so much! maybe we should create a video with more tips? maybe that'll convince you to try it out?
thank you
Nice, enjoyed watching.
Thanks, DMK!
Thank you for the tips guys. I am new to your channel. 💖😄
Welcome!!!
Thanks for this great video, for someone who has never camped before this was really informative. My girlfriend and I plan on trying to camp this summer :)
Glad it was helpful! Please let us know if there are things your'e wondering. We're making a bunch more camping related videos so shoot us anything you're wondering!
@@TiaandAndy will do!
Ive been watching a TON of videos to prepare my family for starting out our camping adventures and you two are just the cutest! You make my heart smile so thank you❤
Thanks Jeanine! we're so glad that the video was of any help! please let us know how your camping trip turns out!
Very helpful and fun to listen to
Glad to hear it!
that downloadable check list file is awesome . Appreciate it.
no problem. maybe we should update it. it's been a couple of years!
Nice one....
This is POG thx
no problem!
great tips
Great ideas Tks guys
Thanks for watching!
This is so great info thank you love the video i love hot dogs and marshmellows
No problem at all! Definitely can't go wrong with hot dogs and marshmallows!
I love your videos
Hi there Tia & Andy!! Am going for a first time camping this weekend. But still blur on what to prepare. Came across to your channel about camping. And o...I know just what to do. Thank you so much for sharing. Watching from Borneo.
No problem!! Hope your trip was amazing!!
Thank you for your video. Despite what the TV tells you, antibacterial sprays and wipes don't kill viruses. They're not alive in the first place. TH-cam comments aren't the place for me to get into why they lie about that, but soap and water for other bacteria will keep you clean as you need to be.
A weekend turned to a year with this set up. Thanks a lot
Into a year?! Nice! Any changes you made?
@@TiaandAndy ya..bring a partner
Don't forget a can opener. It seems like I always need one!!! And I use a weekly pill container for a little bit of spices
oh YES! that's pretty key. we've had to awkwardly use a knife before... not pleasant
Or if your from the UK 🇬🇧 tin opener
Can't wait to go camping been buying stuff for a family getaway.
nice! it's great to be prepared! what have you been buying!?
Wife and I are going to be getting back into camping this year. Only watched a couple of videos and am now subscribed. Love the content!
Glad you're enjoying the videos! Hope you and your wife have a great time camping this year. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! :)
Love your video 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Container to store all the stuff storage bin
I camp solo, so for cooking, I bought a stainless steel kids cooking set-it cost me $20, I have 2 pans, a wok and a stock pot with a strainer and 2 lids, and my pot handle latches on them nicely!
Oooh! Fancy! Great price!
@@TiaandAndy Of course! Just because you're pooping in a hole and going without regular showers is no reason to act like a wild man!
So true! Although letting go and being wild can be pretty fun!
This has helped me so much. I have everything I need listed down now! :)
Glad it was helpful, hope you enjoy your camping trip!
I am camping for a week with my 20 month old twins and all of our bedding and clothing I got to fit in 2 jumbo vacuum seal bags, I can use the air pump for the air mattress for the bags when we pack up also. I will never pack the old way again
Love the idea of a vacuum sealed bag to really condense the size!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Very helpful ❤
I'm so glad!
Cool
I like these people!!!!
Thanks Charlie!
♥️UGUYS‼️🍓🍒
This will help me camp because this summer I'm going camping😀😀😀
Nice!
Small tree branches lol always in past had to deal with it here in Michigan campgrounds
Lots of trees
Lol I enjoyed . Because I was going to be starving , eating salads 🤣 I’m new to this
Glad you found it helpful! If you're looking for food ideas other than salads, we also have a couple of camping meal videos with 5 ideas in each of them!

Bactine spray for sunburn or my favorite nivea or is it noxema i use when i get sunburn it cools the sunburn and smooths my skin so i don't look like a alligator 🐊
I love your videos Tia and A dy
Andy
Thank you!
June 2021. Thanks guys!! Subd!
Thanks!
A generator optional / speaker box I like to bump music camping ....
Hangers to roast the marshmallows .... I just got back from camping and I was one thing I forgot was the hangers to roast marshmallows lol ...
Great additions to the list, thanks for sharing!
Also some bungie cords to out around and tie closed your cooler. Once while camping,coins got in our cooler,ate the food and left a dirty ivey mess.
Good tip! but we never leave our cooler out. It's locked securely in the trunk of the car or when we are back country camping, we'll use the foodbox provided. If that's not available, we tie up our food.
This is a fantastic trick though!
I have no idea. But my family has still made it fun even though we were missing half the things.
Ww bought 2 Coleman Trailhead 2 Camping Cots very comfortable $40 here in Michigan US we live in Iron River, Michigan Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Our daughter Elizabeth uses a queen or full size air mattress
I love this video so much! Wonderful! I wonder if toilet paper and paper towels are essential…as I use both when I go camping frequently! Otherwise it’s a perfect list of essentials. Nice!
Thanks, Sean. Yeah... i'd say paper towels are. for front country camping, this is not _essential_ because it's usually provided. but we do bring our own as we don't want to get caught without!
@@TiaandAndy agreed. But even as kindling or emergency cleaning, a roll of toilet paper (in a ziploc) in my camping gear has often come in handy - especially if that campground toilets are clogged and overused. But your list is dang excellent. Reminded me to bring the solar lights this weekend!
How big is your backpacks?
what's good too is allergy eye drops, Clear eyes...
two reasons for me are obviously is allergies irritate your eyes but also if you're fair skinned and use sunscreen on your face and sweat gets in your eyes, now your dealing with stinging eyes from the sunscreen, ugh!. It's tiny and you won't even know you have it, but glad you brought it just in case. :))
Thank you, I will be solo camping for the first time this weekend...kind of intimidated. Don’t know how to build a fire😯
Ah! Check out our video on the best fire starters and bring a bunch of that! Even if you want to practice your bush craft skills, the #1 most important thing is to be able to start a fire... So bring a couple back up methods!
How did it go? Fire building is one of those life skills you'll always feel better about having 🔥
@@pirateslife4me Haven’t gotten a chance yet. Weather turned bad that weekend, now extremely hot here. Looks like I’ll have to wait until Fall, but I’m so looking forward to camping! Thanks for info!
I’ve been thinking about getting one of those thin blow up pads you mentioned. They seem like a good choice, especially if they can go in a backpack!
I’ve not been camping this year yet, but I’m hoping to in July. I’m excited! Been too long. Haha
OH! those things are amazing. they're not like air mattresses at all. Tia got a Thermarest and it's really nice. easy to blow up, stays firm all night, packs down to nothing.
I like to bring a power station. A jackery, ecoflow, or bluetti are all good ones. You can run all your lights, fans,etc.
We have one in the van! We didn’t have something like that when we made the video but now that we do, we definitely bring it every where!
@@TiaandAndy Coolio!
I have that exact camping stove
Nice! It’s great
