Camping Gear That Women Need

Let's face it -- outdoor activities like hiking and camping aren't just for the guys. Many women enjoy time spent in the great outdoors just as much, if not more so, than their male counterparts. However, just because a woman goes camping, it doesn't mean she has to act and live like a mountain man. Ladies can make the most of the outdoors while retaining an air of femininity thanks to many of today's great products. Check out our guide for fabulous camping gear women need, and want, for their next outdoor adventure.

The first thing a girl needs before she heads out into the wild is a good Swiss Army knife. These little gadgets have it all. The Victorinox company makes a hot pink Swiss Army knife that features a blade, nail file, toothpick, tweezers, small scissors and a keyring. To go along with the knife, check out the pink Maglite flashlight from the same company. Crafted from durable aluminum, this powerful little flashlight is water resistant and compact for easy portability.

Another really cool Swiss Army style knife for women is the Miss Army. This one comes with even more features than the Victorinox model. It features a flashlight, keychain, needle, thread, knife, mirror, pill box, perfume compartment, mirror, safety pin, tweezer and nail file. And, it comes in eight fashion colors -- Magenta, Teal, Orange, Rose, Pink, Yellow, Lime and Blue. In addition to a good multipurpose gadget like this, a woman in the wild will need a comfortable place to sleep like a thick sleeping bag placed over a foam pad or inflatable cot if the ground is too hard. And, let's not forget some basic amenities that guys may not need but ladies certainly might.

Camping gear women need for a comfortable trip, other than the basic food/water/shelter necessities include things that men don't think much about. Travel sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner, styling gel and hairspray are nice if you have high-maintenance hair as many women do. A disposable razor, your favorite soap, and a few basic cosmetics can make you feel clean and fresh even if you're in the middle of the wilderness. You certainly shouldn't get all made up for a day of camping and hiking, but a little grooming can go a long way. When packing for a camping trip, keep your bags light but bring the basic things you think you will need to feel comfortable. Two crucial items for men and women alike are toilet tissue and sunscreen, so always make sure these items are in your bag no matter what. With a little preparation and planning you can feel right at home in the middle of the woods!
