What items should not be missing from the packing list when camping with a tent?
When tent camping, make yourself really comfortable with:
- Ground protection: Before pitching the tent, lay out a tent pad or groundsheet to keep moisture out. An extra rug inside the tent provides extra comfort.
- Sleeping comfort: Invest in a good sleeping mat or air mattress. A thick sleeping bag and a pillow or inflatable neck pillow will increase your sleeping comfort.
- Lighting: Hang battery-powered LED fairy lights or a camping lantern. The right lighting creates a warm, cosy atmosphere.
- Ventilation: Make sure your tent is well ventilated to prevent condensation. Many tents have integrated ventilation openings.
- Insulation: In cooler temperatures, a woollen blanket or extra groundsheet can provide an extra layer of insulation.

- Cooler: To keep food and drinks fresh, an electric cooler that plugs into the cigarette lighter is ideal.

- First aid kit: Basic medical supplies such as plasters, painkillers and bandages should always be at hand.

What should I not forget on my winter camping packing list?
When winter camping, don't forget:

- First aid kit: A well-stocked first aid kit with extra heat packs is a must.
- Safety equipment: A GPS device, whistle, fire starter and possibly an avalanche transceiver (LVS) can be lifesavers.
- Personal hygiene: Lip balm and skin cream can protect against the effects of the cold, dry air.
