Summarize the following:
Find a tent that has about 30 square feet (2.8 m2) per person that’s staying in them. Pick a tent that’s lightweight and easy to transport so you don’t have any hassle setting it up later on. Look at an outdoors store for different types of tents to see how you fit in them and purchase the one that best suits your needs.  Get a tent with multiple “rooms” if you plan on camping with other people. If it’s supposed to rain at all while you’re camping, make sure your tent has a rain cover so you don’t get wet while you’re sleeping. Some campsites or outdoors stores may offer tent rentals if you don’t have a tent you can use. Sleeping bags have different ratings to determine what temperature they can still keep you warm and comfortable. Check the weather at the campgrounds and determine what the lowest temperatures are so you know which sleeping bag to bring along. If you’re camping in the summer, you can use a thin sleeping bag, but you may need something thicker if you’re camping in cooler months.  If you don’t want to lie directly on the floor of the tent, consider packing a sleeping pad or an air mattress as well so you have an extra layer of comfort. Don’t forget to bring a pillow for yourself so you can stay comfortable. Many times, a campfire is your only heat source while you’re camping, so some foods may not cook as easily as others. Look for foods that you can cook on a skewer, such as hot dogs, cubed vegetables, and meats, since they’re the easiest to hold over a fire. Only bring as much food as you need so you don’t take up too much room while you’re packing.  Transfer food that’s in large containers into something small and compact so you can transport it easier. For example, you may crack multiple eggs into a plastic bag or container so you don’t break any eggshells while you’re packing. You may be able to use a portable grill rack that hangs over the fire to cook larger foods, like burgers and vegetables. Bring a cast iron skillet if you have one since you can hold it directly over the fire to cook things like eggs or soups. Pack an insulated cooler with ice and place any food or drinks you want to keep cold while you’re camping. Bring enough water to last through your entire trip so you don’t get dehydrated and so you can stay cool. Store foods in plastic containers and stack them in your cooler so you can use the space efficiently. Some campgrounds have ice on site so you can refill the cooler when the old ice melts. Basic survival kits include items like pocket knives, flashlights, first aid supplies, and multipurpose tools so you can stay safe while you’re camping. You can either buy prepackaged camping kits or you can make your own and carry it in a toolbox. Make sure you have a kit of materials with you in case there's an emergency or if you need to do maintenance on site. Some basic things to include in your kit are knives, bandages, antiseptic wipes, lighters, and emergency flares.

Summary:
Bring a tent that’s large enough for you and your things. Choose a sleeping bag that matches the climate of the area you’re staying. Pack food that’s easy to cook over an open fire. Use a cooler to help keep food and drinks cold. Pack basic survival kits so you can set up your site easily.
