Top Ten Lists: Worst Camping Equipment to Leave Behind |
|
| 10.) A decent tent Although it is absolutely possible to camp without a tent, one cannot deny the benefits of having a shelter in which to escape the hoards of mosquitoes, all of whom seem to have the innate ability to find any bare patch of skin or simply hover incessantly next to your ear. |

| 9.) A sleeping bag Of course, you could always burrow under a pile of leaves… |
|
| 8.) Proper clothing for the weather conditions Do not underestimate the virtues of raingear, extra pairs of socks, and warm clothes for the evening. |
|
| 7.) Some method of water purification Whether you bring a kettle in which to boil water, iodine tablets, or a water purifier, any will do. |
