Warm Weather Camping Checklist

This list assumes a single night of camping. For a second night, add additional clothing as required.

Suggestions:

The key to staying cool is very similar to the guide to staying warm, and that is to layer your clothing.
Wear enough to keep you comfortable so that you don't overheating and sweating. Remove layers of clothing when you start getting too hot.
Wear a hat and avoid dark colors when you are travelling through areas of direct sunlight. Put on an appropriate amount of sunscreen.
Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration
Stay away from carbonated drinks.
