I go tent camping every year with my wife and 2 kids every summer.  In Schuylkill county, in the foothills of the Poconos.\n\nThere are websites with use full lists.\n\nBut it depends a lot on where you going, and what kind of camping you doing.\n\nI don't take any food except things around the house that need to be eaten.  I live in Philly, and everything is much cheaper in the Poconos.  So I take a bunch of coolers that fit inside of each other to save space, and have frozen gallons of water to start.\nAnd I buy everything I need there.  \n\nI prefer old clothes.  Take cooking utensils, a tarp and rope for rain, flashlights for everyone, lantern, cards, radio, ax and good knife.  \n \nBuy a local newspaper and hit a local block party.

Depending on where you are camping, you may be able to get by with a fleece liner, a down throw blanket, or a sheet, any of which can be found in a discount store. All of which are under 20 bucks. Or you can just pack a cool weather pair of PJs or sleep in your clothes or bring an old blanket from home.\n\nIf you need anything warmer in the summer, you should be able to get by with ANY low budget bag from a discount store. They aren't too hard to pick out. Your basic 40-50 degree bag. \n\nThere are a lot of variables to picking out a sleeping bag. If none of your needs are that extreme, then it isn't such a dilemma. But if you need lightweight, compressible, easy to hike with, AND roomy, warm, durable, then you are certainly going to pay for it. That's when you need to turn to a reputable brand of backpacking gear and you will get what you pay for, including high performance fabrics and insulations. Otherwise you end up with a very warm sleeping bag that weighs 12 lbs or a very light sleeping bag that falls apart in your hand. You will always have to compare and balance the things you want out of your bag. You will not find a 40 below bag that fits in the palm of your hand and lasts for 10 years in the arctic expeditions, and costs 50 dollars. \n\nCheck Walmart for any of these items above, or if you want a "real" camping bag (beware crappy zippers) try Slumberjack, very low budget yet official camping gear. Kelty makes better sleeping bags, and other manufacturers can really set you up nice. However, you just don't need that kind of technology in the summer.\n\nOne thing to consider when buying any camping gear is that, in addition to the brand of the piece you choose, it is important to choose a reputable retailer that stands behind their products. Kind of like appliances. You can buy a Kenmore washer at Sears with a warranty, or you can buy the same item from Joe Schmo on Ebay and you are stuck with it if it is a lemon. One of the best retailers in the camping biz is Campmor (great online selection), and another is REI. \n\nDon't forget with your summer sleep setup...that you need a mosquito net.

It depend on what type of hiking you are doing and and the length of your time.  If its just a one day up-and-down then you don't need anything beside water and a good boots.  But if you're doing some hardcore hiking then you do need to prepare some gears.\n\nSome of the things that you need for hiking.\n\n-compass\n-two way radio\n-good sharp knife\n-water canteen\n-flashlight\n-Ropes\n-first aid kit\n-Boots\n-extra long socks\n-few t-shirt\n-Snacks\n\nYou should bring a cheap two way radio to accompany the cellphone.  Mostly like the cellphone will not work in mountains and high attitude since there are no antenna towers near by.  With a two way radio you can switch to the ranger channel and ask for assistance if you need it.  \n\nA good knife is a good survival gear in case you got tangle up with something.  \n\nAlways make sure your canteen is filled with water, you will need alot of water as you hike your way up. \n\nRope and first aid kit is your emergency gear which should help when in need of assistance; rope can secure any moving part like tieing a wood to a broken arm or stop circulation close to a snake bite.  \n\nAlways wear a boots and long sock for hiking. Boots are more durable than sneakers and will keep your feet secure from injury like twisted ankle, and long sock will prevent bugs cling to your lower legs.\n\nAlways bring an extra socks in case you got your feet wet, hiking with wet sock can be very uncomfortablel.\n\nIts also good to bring some snacks with you. When you're body are tire from low energy, you will lose your focus and tend to get hurt easily.  By eating snacks and drinking water it will give your body something to burn and give your body enough energy to find the next rest area.\n\nI think this should be it for a regular hiking.  Just don't camp and hike at the same time since it will definitely take more stuff to bring then the list above.\n\nHave fun~

A Jacket and Pants are a good start but Gloves and a Beanie (or any other hat that will stay on) are just as important.  Other things that you may need are thermal underwear, Googles (or sunglasses) and thermal socks are very importants.  Make sure your outer clothing is waterproof.  I don't know where you live but most sporting goods places will carry these items and of course ski and snowboarding specialty stores.   In California we have consumer sporting goods like Sports Authority, Sport Chalet and Big 5.  However, places like Sears, Wal-mart, etc. will also carry low-end items.  \n\nThe best advice I can give you is to give yourself two days on the mountain.  You will hate life the first day and may never want to do it again but that second consecutive day is essential to reinforcing what you learned and giving your body a good night's rest to recover.  Make sure you figure out which is your lead foot.  Most of your weight should be placed on that foot even though your natural tendancy will be to lean back on the rear foot.  Keep the weight on the lead leg!!  Try to use minute motions when turning.  Think of it as driving and how much force you place on the gas pedal.  Very light motions or you will jerk the car... in the case of snowboarding you will fall hard.  Commit to your turn and don't overcompensate or you will go the other way.  \n\nSorry about the info overload.  Just relax and remember it's fun.  You're not out there trying to impress anyone, no one is judging you (or looking at you), they are too busy having fun.  If your boyfriend and his friends are too critical, then they are not worth your time.  Just go have fun and do it for yourself!

Kelty Eureka Coleman and Guide Gear all make great tents.\n\nI shop online at www.campmor.com and www.sportsmansguide.com\nand normally find great deals.\n\nMake sure that when you get your tent that you spray the seams with something like CampDry Heavy Duty Water Repellent, just to reinforce the waterproofing methods.

How serious are you about camping? You can spend from $20 to MANY dollars in range. Go to a sporting goods store to check them out. Or the net!

1) Water is the most important thing you can consume.  No superfood will do you any good if you are dehydrated.  \n\n2) That established- As you're hiking you'll find that you need to snack on the trail more often than you normally would (no surprise there).  Nothing makes a healthier high-energy trail-side snack than the old standby- GORP (stands for Granola, Oats, Raisins, Peanuts)- aka Trail Mix.  You can really have fun with this stuff.  Nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, M and M's, banana chips- all are fantastic. I've managed to put together good Gorp mixes in many places in the world.  A good trail mix will provide some protein (nuts) as well as some sugars (M and M's, dried fruits). As an added bonus some lightly salted nuts will help you replace some electrolytes if you are sweating a lot.  Just make sure any chocolate you put in there is candy covered- otherwise it melts all over everything.  Hope this helps.

Try an EMS or another outdoor camping and hiking store in your area.  Something form fitting that is used for hiking will do the trick.  Try them all on I am sure that you will find something that works for you.
