Do you have your camping checklist ready?
Don't let your camping trip get ruined by not having the right supplies.
Here is a simple camping checklist I recommend you use.
Tent; big enough for your gear and loved ones
Sleeping Bags designed for camping in various climates, especially at Redwood Meadow campsite. We all know that the Westcoast Campsites weather can change on short notice.
Sleeping Pads to add some extra cushion under your sleeping bag
Ready-to-eat snacks with tons of carbs
Weather-appropriate Clothing for Ducor CA climate; all-weather boots, lightweight rain jackets, sweatshirts, sandals, camping socks, etc
Hygiene, Tooth Brush, Soap & Medical Essentials; burn cream, bandages, ankle wraps
Fishing Poles, if you are going to catch fish whether is a named brand like Nils USA tackle or a generic brand, just make sure you use that is right for you.
Fishing Reels; I highly recommend that you check your old reels on your fishing pole if you have one because some reels get rusty.
Fishing Lures for catching fish in shallow and semi-deep waters. Make sure you do your research before you go.
Fishing Line; Keep in mind, nearly all fishing line gets frail and weak as it ages. You should change out your fishing line before you try to catch a fish.
Mosquito Repellent for those pesky bugs that never seem to go away.
I highly recommend you bring Fishing Lantern with extra batteries if you plan to fish at night. Certain fish are attracted to lights.
Water Bottles for hiking and recreation so you can stay hydrated.
