Take a crapload of wipies. Since you can't shower, the closest thing to a shower will be wipies and get the travel sized shampoo (i ised head and shoulders) and travel size toothbrush with toothpaste.

Steps: place a towel around ur neck then use a water bottle to wet your wair, apply shampoo on your hair and use another water bottle to wash it off. This will have you feeling fresh as fvck. Go into your tent and get naked, use wipies to clean every surface on your body.

Take an axe to chop wood. Obviously take deodorant. If where you're camping, it is likely to rain, take 2 tarps, one to place below ur tent and one above your tent, this will help keep your tent water free in case it rains.

A prostitute, they love camping

I feel a hatchet is the most useful thing that people forget. Perfect for cutting pre-cut logs into smaller slivers that are useful when starting a fire.

Also, get a pocket rocket:

I am a camping guru. You need to tell me more. Where are you going? Do you have to hike into base camp?

I'm in California. Some place called Woodward Reservoir.

Never thought of wipes, good call.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/woodward-reservoir-oakdalebeen there a few years ago..

it's going to be hot... so load up on water and stuff like that

car camping kind of deal so you don't have to pack in a bunch of stuff?

[highwhey]

If you have a truck, bring it. Aside from the convinience of having a lot room for your gear, the truck's bed makes a great spot to lie down at night and stare at the stars. If you have a chick, she'll think it's romantic and boom seconds later when ur both lying down, ur fingers creep up on her crotch and the rest is up to you. Just make sure your truck's bed is facing away from the campsite.

Ya, I checked the weather for the area, today and tomorrow they are like at 105-107:wtf: , but by the time I get there it should be in the mid-late 90's.

[outbreak]

I'd use an AWP for camping

[HitandRun Reggie]

In addition to the other stuff mentioned. If there's water holding fish, I always bring a telescoping fishing pole. Nothing better than fresh caught fish cooked outdoors. And I usually bring a little .22 pistol(shotguns and rifles are too cumbersome and heavy), or my 10mm Glock, since I don't own a revolver, if there's lots of bear. Also cell phone batteries or power source.

And at least one person in the party should have a camp shovel like this:

Like others stated, a hatchet is a must but if you are going through a lot of brush and don't want to carry both a hatchet and a machete, these Kukri blades can serve both purposes in one tool. I have one and it comes in handy everytime I bring it.

There are a lot of well-meaning comments here.

I worked at a wilderness therapy program where I took 12-18 year olds and 18+ groups into the Arizona outback. We had no tents, we relied on water found in cowtanks and running water, used only primitive means to make fire, we hiked over 15 miles in a week minimum, and we were given a foodpack with a 12 oz stainless steel cup and knife to make food.
These are my credentials.


Here is what you need:
-Water
-Fire
-Shelter


For three days you don't even need food. You'll survive. If you have the means to procure these three things you'll be aight.


That being said, everybody loves smores.

pot, fire starter, machete:pimp:

Funny watching people give some bear grylls type advice. Seeing as you're nowhere near the bush, a lot of what's being posted in thread is overkill. You won't need a shovel or a hatchet, and three days without a shower won't kill you, with a lake nearby you'll probably be swimming anyway. Sounds like you're heading out with some other people? You should figure out what they're bringing so you can coordinate. A lot of people use portable bbq's when camping, planning meals is kind of the biggest thing. Also booze, bring plenty.

[bluechox2]

bring your butler and RV that is fully loaded with kitchenette and AC

I'm not even going to get started on how many uses a shovel and a hatchet can provide. But at least one person in the party should have one of each, if for nothing more than covering your camp fire and burying your shyt paper, unless you plan on taking it back with you. Even when I go hunting for the day, I constantly find myself grabbing for my Kukri.

drugs.

I dont think they are getting dropped from above in the middle of nowhere, B.Grills.

A dog. Seriously. When I went camping with a group, all they wanted to do was get drunk. Maybe it's just the people I went with :confusedshrug: but going for a hike or just walking out in nature with a dog was the most fun peaceful experience I had. I'm not an outdoors person by any means, but I felt much more at ease being out there with a dog than I did when I tried going off by myself.

That is easy. Just bring the basics on this one. I thought it was some hardcore trip.

I go to Ansel Adams Wilderness. 4 hours hike down into base camp from the car. All terrain hike. Advance level. 40lb backpack for the weekend.

This year, we are getting mules and riding that shit. The guys and I are getting too old for this shit.

[Yoda]

Material goods unneeded. The force all you need.

[FatComputerNerd]

Don't forget about first-aid supplies.

Also, soak some cotton balls in vaseline and stuff them into an old film-canister or something.

They are great at getting a fire going.

Really, if you're not that experienced of an outdoorsman just do some online research...there's tons of good info out there.

[Rockets(T-mac)]

Bug spray is essential.

[FatComputerNerd]

Bug spray is essential.

Yeah.

Also, if you eat a ton of garlic in the few days leading up to the trip they might leave you alone more than normal.

Oh, and don't wear deodorant or any sort of cologne. It'll attract the skeeters more.
