Camping has continued to grow in popularity among Filipinos over the years, especially during the height of the pandemic. Considering just how fast the days seem to fly, it’s really nice to slow down and enjoy nature and the great outdoors every once in a while.
If you want to get into camping, though, you have to make the necessary preparations, and that entails equipping yourself with the right tools. Be it car camping or moto camping, you need to cover all the basic accessories first before you head out. Luckily for you guys, November 11 is right around the corner, and online shopping platforms are now out sweet 11.11 deals.
We’ve compiled some of the camping necessities that you can buy online this 11.11 and included the link to each one as well. It’s budol time!
1) Tent
Can’t go camping with this one, right? Tents come in various shapes and sizes—some are easy to set up, some are thick and waterproof—so do your research so you can pick one that suits your needs best.

2) Groundsheet
If you’ll be pitching a tent, you’ll be needing a groundsheet to help protect you from the elements. This will also prevent sharp debris from damaging or even puncturing your tent.

3) Flysheet
You also need added protection above your tent. Depending on the type of material, the flysheet can prevent heat or rain (or both) from easily penetrating your fort.

4) Folding chair
This is also a camping staple. It won’t be comfortable sitting on the ground all day, so it’s best you bring a chair or a stool with you. These now come in different sizes, so take note of the weight capacity of each one.

5) Lights
Most campsites don’t have light systems installed, so this is also something you should bring with you. Unless you want to spend the night in a pitch-black environment, of course.

6) Butane stove
Since you’re already going camping, get the full camping experience by cooking your own meals using a butane-powered stove. You can get a regular-sized one if you’re bringing a car to the campsite, or you can opt for a smaller portable burner if you’re going moto camping.

7) Portable cookware and utensils
It’s easy to bring a full-size butane stove on camping trips. But regular-sized pans and casseroles? Well, not so much. If you’re not cooking for a large group, you might want to try out using portable cookware instead. While you’re at it, you should pair that set up with portable utensils, too.

8) Foldable tables
I’d argue this one’s optional. That said, having a folding table or two on a camping trip just makes life so much easier. You can opt for a compact one, or you can go all out with those huge sets complete with foldable seats.
