Lao Cai province has many magnificent places to explore, especially camping in the hills or mountains has emerged as a phenomenon with many kinds of types like trekking, hiking, and natural walking. If you have any plans for your camping so here are some tips for you to prepare gear when  traveling to Lao Cai.
  1. Camping tent

The camping tent is the first and most necessary to bring with you when you decide to go for a day or overnight. Because after a long day of walking, you need a comfortable place to rest and sleep. So choose the most suitable tent for you and your partner, make sure this tent has enough space and is airtight to protect your health.

  1. Backpack

A         suitable camping backpack will greatly assist you in carrying the necessary equipment like food, clothes, and stuff. But please note that you need to choose the backpack fitting for a trip time like: Trip length, terrain, and weather at campsites,  the amount of camping gear you will bring.

  1. Camping flashlight

Maybe you think you don’t need a flashlight but in this case only in the morning with the sun present, but when in the dark of night flashlight from your phone and campfire are not enough for the area of the campsite. That is why you need a flashlight for lighting and safety.

Besides if you have activities at night, you must have a head flashlight to walk around, or if you are still on the trail but the sky turns dark.

  1. Sleeping bag

Bringing sleeping bags not only helps you to keep warm it will protect you from insect-like mosquitoes, ants,... and avoid getting cold by sleeping on the ground.

  1. Hiking shoes

The shoes are your partner during all the trips, that is why when you decide to camp combine activities like trekking, clamping, and wading stream,.. you need to choose a specialized shoe to protect your feet and help you easy to walk in difficult ways.  In addition, if you just go light camping, a short day with good airy and light sandals is enough.

  1. Clothes

What to wear when going camping? Wearing comfortable clothes is necessary because maybe you need to climb, wade streams, exercise or bad weather a lot, then choose the suitable for you and make sure that the clothes are fit, comfortable, airy, and absorb.

Wearing comfortable clothes is necessary but it is not enough, In addition to a suitable set of hiking clothes, a sun protection jacket or raincoat will protect you from harmful UV rays or rain throughout your trip. In addition, you should prioritize products that are lightweight, breathable, and elastic so you can be comfortable all day long.

  1. Camping furniture

Camping furniture will be more suitable for day trips or long day trips (3-4 days). On long day trips, they will help you create an evening atmosphere when members gather to tell stories and chat around the campfire, or on a short day trip a good tool to take photos and rest.

Camping tables and chairs are often designed to be compact and foldable so they can be easily carried. Depending on the number of people participating in camping, you can choose a set of folding tables and chairs or just folding chairs to bring along.

  1. Medical 

A Medical bag is never redundant on every trip even though short or long day. Because when you go camping on the mountain or terrain anything can happen especially in Laocai the weather changes so fast so bringing a medical bag with basic supplies can help you right on time. There are some medical supplies I recommend for you: First-aid kits, sunscreen, insect sprays, insect repellent, flu drugs, and insect sprays.

  1. Cooking set

The meals on camping trips are quite important for connecting and chatting. The camping cooking set will fully integrate pots, pans, bowls, and chopsticks that can be stowed in the trunk of the car or camping backpack. So if you still don’t know what to eat maybe you can try some things like BBQ, hot pot or simple things is cooking together and enjoy the hot meals. This will definitely be an interesting activity that will help you have wonderful moments of relaxation.

There is a checklist of necessary items when you decide to camp that Laocaitourism recommends to you. However, depending on your needs for the trip, you can remove unrelated products or refer to additional products for your camping trip below. Hope you have a fun and enjoyable camping trip.
