Most recently a senior field service engineer with Radiometer America, Heber Jonathon Perez has more than three decades of experience in the installation and repair of respiratory equipment and other medical devices, as well as data management systems. When he is not working, Heber Jonathan Perez enjoys hunting, fishing, and camping.
A favorite pastime for many Americans, camping can be a relaxing and renewing way to spend a weekend. To maximize enjoyment and minimize stress, consider creating a pre-departure checklist to make sure you pack all the essentials. Your checklist should include:
1. Essential equipment. A tent and sleeping bag may seen obvious, but it’s easy to overlook other important items such as a flashlight or lantern, as well as extra batteries.
2. Cooking gear. If you want to prepare your own food, pack a camping stove and fuel. You will need at least one pot and pan, a mug, a plate, and utensils. Don’t forget a sharp knife and biodegradable dishwashing liquid so you don’t have to pack dirty dishes.
3. Tools. A multi-tool is a must, as are a mallet for hammering tent stakes and a small broom or dustpan to keep your tent clean. Duct tape is also a helpful addition to your supplies.
