When you plan your adventure travels, some things need to be planned before you depart. Accommodations and lodging is one consideration. You may also be required to bring certain types of equipment depending on what type of adventure travel your trip will be. The different equipment may vary depending on what the theme of your vacation is about. If you were assigned to an adventure tour operator, they can direct you on what you will need to bring. Some specifics are general items that are necessary requirements.

A first aid kit is an item that should be brought along on any type of adventure travel. You never know when you may need to take care of some small injury. If you are traveling to another country that requires proof of identification, make sure you always have proper documentation. Very little would be worse than getting half way to your adventure travel destination to find you can't continue.

Clothing is another item that is very important on your adventure trip. You need to make sure that you pack accordingly. By accordingly, don't pack a ton of clothes if you'll be hiking with a backpack that's going to tire you out quickly. At the same time, if you're in a hot climate, you'll want some cool weather clothing. You'll also need basic equipment for personal hygiene. Just take the basics, though. Try not to bring any more than what you would want to have to carry with you at all times. You may be a tourist, but you don't have to look like one!

A very important piece of equipment for any adventure travel is your camera. You don't want to get home and find you don't have any pictures to show off to your friends and family.

The one adventure travel that requires a lot of equipment is camping. If you will be doing camping or spending any amount of time sleeping outdoors, you need to be prepared. You'll need a sleeping bag, tent, water, tarp, compass, bug repellent, cooking utensils and first aid kit. You need to bring warm weather clothing as well as cool weather clothing as you may find a large temperature variance from daytime to evening. Other outdoor sports that require a lot of equipment are canoeing and kayaking.

The best advice is to ask your adventure travel operator what they recommend. Sometimes they provide some of the equipment and you need to provide the rest. Before you go and purchase new equipment, make sure you'll need it for your trip. Your operator may be able to provide you with a list of what equipment you need.
