Camping Gotta Haves!
Clothing
Wear clothing appropriate for the weather that is expected. It is highly recommended that you change completely, including underwear, for sleep. Even on relatively cool days your clothing will retain moisture that will wick away precious body heat at night. Consider wearing a wool cap to bed on cold nights.
BE PREPARED! Have extra clothing to change in to if you are caught unawares.
