What items are Canadians forgetting the most when they go camping?

1.    Lighter/Matches

A campfire is the heart of any camping experience, perfect for cooking, warmth and storytelling under the stars. Many campgrounds require wood purchases on-site for environmental reasons, making it easy to overlook firestarters. Without a lighter or matches, starting a campfire can become a daunting task. 

2.    Garbage Bags

Garbage bags are the unsung heroes of camping gear. They serve multiple purposes beyond just holding trash: they can be used for dirty or wet laundry, as makeshift ponchos and small tarps. Their versatility makes them an essential item for any camper’s pack. 

3.    Towels

Even if sunbathing or swimming isn’t on your agenda, towels are indispensable. Whether you need to dry off after a sudden rain shower, wipe down gear or simply have something clean to sit on, towels are a must-have. Mother nature is unpredictable, and it’s best to be prepared.
