These are just a few options, and not a comprehensive list. Just some things to get started, and start researching.

As you acquire stuff, you'll need a better pack, better gear, more stuff, ect ect. You can always come back and post about specific stuff. Ask /out/ about backpacks, boots, what bag meals are the best.... anything really.

A few points....

Pic related too... Bug spray is your friend. Bugs suck. Always have some if there is any chance of bugs. There usually is.

Hiking socks are nice. They can be warm. Buy light ones if you have hot feet.

Cotton kills. Or so they say. Lots of people wear cotton clothes out. When it gets wet, it gets cold and they lose their insulation. Still, for dry weather, and a beginner, cotton clothes are fine to start I'd you aren't doing anything extreme. You can upgrade your clothes as you learn what works for you.

Not everyone uses one, but damn I love a pillow in my backpack. I have one packed all the time, my neck aches without one.

Welcome to /out/. Hope you stick around and post pics of your adventures.

picaridin is a viable alternative to DEET. It has much less smell and isn't as oily.

I use 99% DEET deep woods Off when I'm in seriously buggy areas, other times I use a picaridin based spray, which smells better.

You really only need a fee things to camp.

Something to sleep in.

Something to drink.

Something to eat.

I'm assuming you're car camping, and not hiking in from a long distance out. If you're hiking your gear needs to be light weight, car camping not so much since you just bring it in the car and set up at your spot.

Bring a tent. A 2 person tent is really only good for 1 person unless you're broke back moutaineering. Bring a 4-4-6 person tent at least.

A cabin is awesome for a new camper. You get the experience of outdoors without much discomfort.

A sleeping bag and pillow will work, but the ground is fuckin hard. Sleeping pads are ok but don't help that much if you're used to a matress. Any one that does help much is generally expensive. A $20 inflatable air matress from walmart works well and I sleep great on them. They can get cold if the weather is cool, but for warm weather I like them.

A sleeping bag can be your blanket, or crawl in it zipped up. You don't need a great one for warm weather car camping. Just borrow any one from a friend.

For food, bring whatever. If you want to feel like your roughing it, bring some bagged meals from mountain house or backpackers pantry. You just boil water and add it to the bag. Done. They taste good too. If your friend has a portable grill, they're nice to have. Then you can bring meat to grill, make burgers, ect. We used to pack meat in coolers and feast on steaks and all kinds of good stuff.

For drinks. Bring a case of bottled water or a few jugs to fill if they have good drinking water sources. Bring a cooler of beer if that's your thing.

If you're at a designated campground with pay sites, and you're car camping, you don't really need to rough it. Bring some flashlights, some beer, some food, and relax. If you want to get into hiking and backpacking it's something you can get into as you learn. To car camp, just takes a little bit of equipment.

Pic related, bring bug spray.

I like this Off Sportsman. It's in a small pump spray bottle. It's small enough to fit in your front pocket, or just not take up a ton of space in my pack. I did carry an aerosol can, but always worried it would get pressed and spray all in my bag, not as big a problem with this small pump bottle.

Something liken 98% deet. I can use it, and not need a bug net for my hammock.
