The proper size and type of tent is an important addition to your camping accessories. If the tent is too big then you have extra weight and if the tent is too small, you get to sleep outside (hopefully not in the rain!).

The selection of the proper sleeping bag in your camping accessories can have a profound effect on your enjoyment. Too heavy and extra weight again, too light and you are cold all night (trust us - at 30 below zero this is not where you want to find yourself).

Adding a cook stove to your camping accessories can be a life saver. Having had to deal with cold people and hypothermia, a fast heating stove to make warm water can literally save a life!

A good First aid kit – if you don’t have one in your camping accessories– Get One!

Kindling is best when used dry (plastic re-sealable bags work well.) You never know when you will need a good fire. Save the lint from your dryer (it makes it faster than your belly button) and add it to your camping accessories.
Tools do not need to be a big or heavy addition to your camping accessories. Patience can generally overcome most problems here. It will take a little longer but you can cut down a tree with a pocket knife. (This is where the first aid kit comes in handy for the blisters on your hands.)
Rope or twine – this comes in real handy if you need to hang up a bear bag (although we have seen kamikaze bears jump out of trees to try and get to the food in the bag). You will definitely need to replace your camping accessories if the bears get the bag.
