Camping checklist
Are you planning to spend the weekend outdoors, away from the city noise? Gather a group of friends, choose a place and getgoing! But … are you sure you know how to pack?
We all know well that packing can be a real nightmare. People often procrastinate with it and pack at the very last minute in a hurry and end up forgetting something. We know it because there’s always someone on our camping team that needs a toothbrush or a sleeping bag.
That’s enough – we’ve prepared a checklist for everyone who’s going camping.

Checklists
… are a great tool to boost your organizational skills. Your list will vary depending on the campsite, planned activities, seasons and the length of your trip. Add or remove items to suit your needs – if it’s a hiking trip and you won’t go back to your tent but find a new place for it, then the list will be much shorter, because you will only bring the bare necessities.
