Can you attach a tent to a car?
You’re probably thinking about an erect tent on the top of your car that can fall off or make the handling of your car much harder to control.

These are important items for your camping checklist:
- Tent (and footprint, stakes)
- Sleeping bags.

- Headlamps or flashlights (and extra batteries)
- Camp chairs.
- Camp table (if no picnic table)
- Lantern (and mantles and fuel/batteries if needed)
