There are going to be lots of things you will need to buy if you are just starting out. For tenters obviously you will need a tent. Try to find a tent that is waterproof and has good reviews. You will also need a place to sleep, so you’ll need a sleeping bag that’s not too warm but that is made for at least 10 ° colder than the weather you will be staying in. You will also need a therm-A-rest or an air mattress. The difference between a therm-A-rest and an air mattress is that a therm-A-rest is thinner and more portable and an air mattress is thicker and will probably take up more space. Also with an air mattress you will need something to blow it up.  

 

      Some extra things you will need for a tent will be tenting pegs; these keep your tent on the ground so it doesn't fly away. They are usually included with your tent but it’s good to have extra. Depending on the temperature you might need a heater, if you plan on charging devices or plugging in things inside your tent is an extension cord. It’s also a good idea to bring a tarp to put over your tent incase any leaking occurs.
