How do you know what to bring? The last thing you want is to go camping and realize that you missed a crucial item. If you want to avoid this, read on, and we\u2019ll tell you everything<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>you need for your first truck camping trip especially during the <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanoak.co\/travel\/new-outdoor-activities-to-try-out-this-coming-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7468\">summer<\/a> days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Essentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You\u2019ll need bedding. Sleeping bags are a must when you\u2019re out at night, and if you can get them insulated during those cold winter nights, it\u2019s all the better. Pack an extra jacket for winter and shorts for summer nights. You\u2019ll be happy you did.<\/li><li>You\u2019ll need kitchenware. A few mesh bags, portable pots, pans, foodstuffs, canned or raw meat, and a portable grill should please your stomach.<\/li><li>Camping toiletry is a simple enough category. These are your towels and toilet paper. You\u2019ll also want to pack soap, wipes, and a washbag. You might also want to invest in a shower tent.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emergency Tools and Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need emergency tools and supplies first and foremost if you\u2019re camping. While you\u2019re safe and sound in the comfort of your home, camping has its dangers. These can include accidental injuries and wildlife. Additionally, there are several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superpacificusa.com\/blog\/van-life-vs-truck-camping-whats-the-difference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"7469\">differences between truck and van life<\/a>, so even if you\u2019ve gone camping in a van, you\u2019ll need different supplies. Here are some of the things you might need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Your first aid kit is important. Anything can happen, from a small accidental cut when cooking to a full-on wildlife attack. A bandage won\u2019t help with a bear attack, but some gauze and wraps might save your life.<\/li><li>A gun and sharp knife may be necessary in cases of wildlife or emergency. You also might want to consider a rifle for hunting.<\/li><li>A wrench and jack can help you If your tire blows out or loses air. A replacement tire is also a must.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recovery Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just in case you get stuck or have an accident, these are the&nbsp;things you\u2019ll need if it\u2019s your first time truck camping:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A small shovel can help you if your car gets stuck. It can be a lifesaver if you\u2019re camping in the snow.<\/li><li>Winches are excellent for off-roading. They allow the recovery automobile to stay on solid ground rather than slide into the mud, snow, or sand. You can winch your way to freedom.<\/li><li>Bull bars shield your front end with heavy-duty steel. They keep the vehicle operable after a collision, and getting one is essential if you go off-roading. Accidents happen, so make sure you prepare yourself.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, while #truckcamplife is exciting, you must stay prepared. This list isn\u2019t exhaustive by any means, but it covers the basics. If you have all these supplies, you can consider yourself safe to camp in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"urbanoakco-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"camping tent\";\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"9667e20fdfd66878b2be0f0cba58af94\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar_position = \"top\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"Discover More\";\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Truck camping can be intimidating, especially if it\u2019s your first time.
