What I pack for Camping Trips (An essential packing list for Appalachian Rustic Tent Camping)

Planning a rustic tent camping trip?

Everything you need for kids and dogs!

Food.

Tent & Sleep.

Survival Things.

Adventure Things.

The Essential Packing List for Camping in Appalachia!


We love Camping!

Typically we’re camping for at least two nights. Usually three. In my opinion, a half-week camping trip is perfect. Plenty of time to set the soul just right.

The packing and planning part is a separate process. Just like being in the woods; it takes some figuring out.

Adapting is Adventure

We love adventures! Having Ideas.  Making Plans. Being Together. Having plans makes for adventure!
