If you have never left gettysburg camping, I recommend you do not too far from your home the first time. Amazing are the tent, the sleeping bag, adequate shelter, cooking utensils and a minimum rucksack, which carry everything? If you leave by rv camping Gettysburg no problem with excess weight, if any if you forget something important. If you are on foot is extremely important that you do not overburden weight or travel will become a torture.

Tent: it must be right for the season that passes, there is the winter snow and summer, there are also multipurpose for 4 seasons. Must be of adequate capacity, not lack space because you cannot sleep and if you have excess weight unnecessarily.
Sleeping bag: must be suitable for the climate, good quality if you do not need anything else, and it is better not to bring extra blankets as they weigh a lot. Can lead to an insulator below the bag, weighs nothing and you are not isolated from soil moisture.
Arma tent in the sun in winter and shade in the summer, with the door pointing east or west, the north resguárdate. On the day takes a few minutes of sun and sun bed linen and sleeping bag, tent ventilation while cooling and then renewing the air inside and dries the moisture from the breath and perspiration.

The kitchen should be the minimum and multipurpose. The backpack should be comfortable camping and as light as possible. Do not forget to bring lighter, knife, suitable shoes, practice clothes and sunglasses when you go with pa rv camping.
