What do you pack for bush camping? I am trying compile a list of things to pick up for bush camping: I have stoves, tents, hot water shower kit, and all that jazz. Im thinking more for emergencies or recovery. So far i have come up with this: GPS Flat repair kit battery jumper kit Air compressor Fuel Jerry cans (?L) Water Jerry cans Bear Spray Advanced First Aid kit(only since i have First Responder) Chainsaw Hi-lift jack Shovel Traction Mat Basic Tools Tow Straps/Shackles |
depends on the type of camping... sometimes i go in with a knife an axe and a cooking pot and figure out the rest lol. for car camping i take the usual stuff. list is pretty similar to yours except that instead of bear spray i take a 12 gauge or my 44 level gun. |

Not a bad investment if you travel in bear country. Its worth it for me because i used to head out camping with my girlfriend and since her safety was in my hands it was really a no brainer. A good pump action 12 gauge is really all the firepower you need. Consider it the jack of all trades. Slugs for distance and heavy predators. Buckshot for covering a large area. Birdshot/target loads for fun. Keep it loaded with alternating rounds of buckshot slug buckshot slug etc. That way youre left flexible. If you need to engage something at a distance and you know you have buckshot chamered its as easy as racking the action and youre ready to engage. You should try minimalist/survival camping. Hike into an area with the essentials and live off the land. Pretty interesting experience. |
On top of the usual camping gear I have these with me. For recovery... - chain saw - 2 20l fuel cell - Receiver Hitch D-Ring - winch - full spare tire - Safety seal tire repair kit - Arab straps I know I'm missing a few items to add on that list but. I don't hold back on recovery specially when I explore on my own. |

My camping list: Wallet keys phone Sunglasses Ipod and cable Gps VHF Camera Knife Flashlight Sirius Phone charger Water jugs Coolers Totes Tent Sleeping bag Pillow Blankets if cold Mattress Fold up Chair Fold up Table Stove Bbq Coffee maker Lantern Propane Towel Wash cloth TP Bathroom stuff Hand soap Hand lotion Chap stick Level 2 First Aid kit Dish soap scrubber Paper towel Plates Cups Knife fork spoon Flipper Tongs Can opener Cutting board Tin foil Pot Pan Tshirts Long sleeve shirts Underwear Socks Shorts Pants Flippy floppies Hoodie Longjohns Flannel jacket Big jacket if cold Rain gear Boots Ear plugs Axe Shovel Chainsaw 5L mixed Gas Bar oil Chain sharpener Fire starter Tent Tarp Camp Tarp Pegs Rope Tools kit Ducktape Bailing wire Hoseclamps Assorted nuts and bolts kit Power steering fluid Brake fluid Premixed Coolant Oil Axle fluid ATF+4 Tranny fluid 760x ujoints Gas Coffee Bacon Eggs Bread Buns Dogs Beer Palm bay Baileys Vodka Juice Steak Ketchup mustard Butter Peanuts Chips Fruit Salt pepper Water Soup Beans Potatos That is in addition to the winch on my jeep, and the hi-lift, Viair 450p compressor and tow straps already in it. Always carry a full size spare. My tool kit has everything Id need including a pretty good tire plug kit. Usually bring 40L of gas for a 4-5 day camping trip with a fair bit of wheelin. 12ga shotgun usually comes too. A battery booster would be a very good one to add |
I feel so under prepared and under packed now.. |
I think this would go well with op's question.. Along with a wide array of supplies what Is general for camping, what do you pack/do/buy to prepare your truck/suv for camping. I just picked up a 2012 tacoma as my sole vehicle now. Starting off slowly with this vehicle, but I am more concerned for when I do go what the truck should be equipped with. Guess some things depend on the conditions the vehicle willbe put through. Right now my short list is 2015 Fox or radflo 2.5 shock lift 2.75" in lift roughly. 16x8 rims with 285/75r16 bfg all terrain ko2 2016 Regear to 4.56 or 4.88 On board compressor for rear air locker Soft top camper with roof top tent Hi-lift Full size spare tire *if I can afford it plate bumpers front and rear, and sliders . |
First thing I would buy before heading into the bush is a recovery strap. And depending on what/where you're planning on going people seem to be getting more and more VHF radios these days so I would put that on the list. And a winch if you're going by yourself a lot. Also, hi lift is pretty useless unless you have sliders. |
Good lists here :thumbsup:. Will be grabbing little things here and there over winter with the plan to hit the bush next spring/summer with the family. Slightly off-topic question: What jack options are there for those with a lift but no sliders or bumpers? Pack more wood to gain height on the stock jack? Seems sketchy. |
get a Lift-Mate for your Hi-Lift. by far makes your Hi-Lift far more useful. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Z6b9BxbZL.jpg Also get a Hi-Lift, not a no name farm jack death machine |
i use the hi-lift with the lift mate. works like a charm. |
Spot or inreach has helped 2 people I know |
