Camping tips or suggestions?

My friends and I are planning a camping trip- out in the woods with just a tent and enough food for the few days. I always love spending time in the woods, but I've only ever slept there in developed, tourist-y campsites before and want to do it in a more natural setting.

Any tips or suggestions? Any safety tips, things to do in the woods and general advice would be greatly appreciated, especially where mosquitoes and ticks are concerned. I'm a magnet for them.

Lastly, are there any red flags I should be watching out for while picking a location? The group will be small, around 2 to 5 of us, depending on who confirms they can come.

    US? No idea.

    Europe? Only very few countries explicitely permit "wild" camping. So check your local laws (or provide your country here). In my location, I'd just talk to the farmer (if private forest) or local forester (if public forest) about those plans if you want to take a group.

    Once you've clarified that - in addition to the toilet paper, bring a decent spade/shovel. Digging holes to bury your sh*t with one of those hand-sized shovels is no fun.

    In my opinion the one thing you cannot do without is toilet paper. Don't

    forget it. Happy Trails.

    Keep your food in a racoon proof container. Bring a flashlight and a saw or ax for firewood. ENJOY
