Having an Essential Camping Checklist list and making sure you pack appropriately is crucial when prepping for your upcoming trip
Whenever I gear up for an upcoming trip, whether that be camping, hiking, or anything of that nature, I make sure that I have a checklist of all the gear that I need and I make sure I check it off as it gets packed.
