In addition to the basic camping equipment, it's good to bring something extra. Camping comes with many risks and that is why some things are really necessary....
Extra blanket
Bring an extra blanket with you, as the nights can be cold. It is ideal to place it over a sleeping bag or bags (if more than one of you sleeps in the tent), but you can spread it on the ground and sit on it while outside.
Mosquito repellent
It is not certain whether there will be mosquitoes where you decide to set up your tent, but bring a mosquito repellent for a defense against these blood-lovers. Of course, if you are careful when entering and exiting the tent with mosquitoes in it, you should not have any problems.
It is also a good idea to spray its entrance and zippers of your tent after setting it up, while the "doors" of the tent are closed.
Fire-starting equipment
Sometimes the wood is damp, you may not have anything to start the fire, or dry paper might be missing and so on. So bring fire starter cubes even if they are not eco-friendly.
Extra matches and lighters never hurt, as well as some dry wood for kindling in the trunk if you're going camping by car.
First aid
Be careful how you handle an axe, knife or shovel. Also, if you are not careful, you can burn yourself around the fire. Therefore, bring first aid, and it is not a bad idea to write down the number of the nearest hospital.
Hygiene supplies
Everyone likes clean teeth, clean hands, and many people like to stay clean in general.
There is not too much wisdom about dental hygiene - bring a toothbrush and toothpaste. As for soap, it is recommended to bring one that foams as little as possible. In other words, the soap should not have additional creams and other marketing in it, because it is important that it washes off as easily as possible.
Hand sanitizer is not a bad thing to bring, especially if you don't have water within easy reach. When you get to some water, wash the sanitizer off your hands.
Garbage bags
We go to nature to enjoy it. Although many meople have a different view of nature and consider it to be its arrangement, concrete paths, hotels on the mountains and cafes... For the above reason, when we leave nature, there should be no trace that we were ever there. In addition to preserving the environment, we also enable someone after us to enjoy it; we're surely not that selfish.
Cooking utensils and cutlery
After you've read that you should bring a portable stove when camping, it's clear that another piece of camping equipment is missing, namely cooking pots and cutlery. Choose what is convenient for you to carry, but pay attention to the weight. Lightweight aluminum pans and portable stoves reduced the overall weight of camping gear, and also contributed to the popularity of hiking and camping.
If you don't want to splurge on more expensive gear, a plain old pan can always be found, as well as a reusable plastic plate that can be used multiple times after washing. The same applies to all kinds of glasses and mugs. We mentioned the knife, so bring a spoon and fork along with it.
