I have gone through all types of weather with only this much gear.  i am an eagle scout and i know you will need this stuff.  i used all of the equipment listed below:\n\na sturdy tent\na tarp\na backpacking stove\ncooking and eating utensils\ncooking pans or small pot\ndried food,\nwater\nclothing for the season\nrain gear\nswimsuit\nhiking boots\ncamp shoes\nfishing pole and tackle ( if going near water so you can catch food if you run out)\niodine and water filter for water purification\nsleeping bag\nno pillow ( you can make one out of you clothes its pretty comfy Ive done it)\nfirst aid kit\nemergency whistle\nmatches\nfire starters\nGlobal Positioning System ((GPS) preferably one that is also a two way communicator)\na map and compass (the batteries in a GPS will run out if you're not careful)\na flashlight and extra batteries\nand the most important A BUDDY!!!!!!!!! NEVER GO INTO THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITHOUT A BUDDY BECAUSE IF YOU GET SERIOUSLY INJURED YOU ARE EXTREMELY LIKELY TO DIE THERE.\nALSO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND WHEN YOU WILL BE BACK. THAT WILL LET PEOPLE KNOW WHEN TO START A SEARCH PARTY IF YOU DO NOT SHOW AT YOUR DESIGNATED ARRIVAL TIME

How serious are you about camping? You can spend from $20 to MANY dollars in range. Go to a sporting goods store to check them out. Or the net!

the basics make quite a list and i'm not going to be able to cover it in detail but here goes. a tent with stakes and lines as needed. set it up before you go to be sure you understand how to and that you have everything you need. bedding- either sleeping bags or blankets to  and ground pads or air mattresses. make sure you have enough to sleep warm, shivering makes for a long night and it might be a lot colder where you are going. clothing- what ever is needed for the season plus rain gear and jacket. take easily washable stuff that is comfortable and wears well. a change of clothes for every other day works well. footwear- good solid boots if you're going to be hiking otherwise any good shoe or sneaker. extra socks. cook gear- stove or campfire grate with a frypan, large and small covered pots, coffee pot, plates and silverwere. cleaning supplies - if you're cooking over a fire include either sos pads or other scrubbing pads. camp tools- hatchet or small axe, camp saw, small shovel, rope or parachute cord, duct tape, first aid kit, a 10x12 tarp, flashlights and lantern, matches, firestarters. food- things that require as little refregeration as possible and that are simple to store, prepare, and clean up after. a small broom or brush to keep the tent cleaned out. if you are planning a major vacation spend a night out in the yard or at a nearby campground as a trail run. don't be afraid to ask for help. all campers start out not knowing what they were doing and are glad to help  a new camper get started. have fun ad relax when something goes wrong, and it will. you'll laugh about it later.

you can survive without food or water for at least a week. Going out there without anything but clothes is rediculous, but possible. If you wear glasses, take them. DO NOT bring contacts if possible. You can also use the glasses for making a fire if the sun is out. Fire and shelter are important as one of the first things to make. The fire will keep you warm and should also keep animals and bugs away. \n\nFood is nice, but unless you know what types of plants are around, then I'd say forget about it. Water is pretty easy. Just collect dew that forms on plants. It may not be much, but it will be LOTS better than just drinking any water you find without using purifying tablets first or boiling the water(again, fire is good here). Hopefully there are some other guys with you so some guys can build a fire while others look for plants to eat. Also bring a belt, it will help tie anything together, and if you can, bring a bandana or wear two pairs of socks. \n\nEmergencies can happen when people don't know what they are doing, so if one of your guys gets hurt then you can use the bandana/socks as a way to dress any wounds or sprains. Unfortunately, we don't know where you'll be "surviving" and what the rules and regulations are.\n\n ALthough you may want to ask yourself if it is worth it to hang with a bunch of guys who are going to 'force' you into wilderness surviving for 3 days with only clothes that you are wearing. Oh yeah, when going to the bathroom, go at least 100 feet from your campsite. DO NOT eat any white berries, and leave anything with three leaves alone (look up poision ivy). Hunger and thirst won't be your absolute biggest worries, since you should only be out there 3 days. Go with the shelter and the fire. \n\nIf they DO allow you to bring one item I would suggest a zippo or a pack of matches, if two, then bring a metal pan as well, if 3 then bring a pocket knife. DO NOT leave your fire unattended for more than 3 minutes, if you burn down the area you are in you will be in deep trouble. \n\nOn elast tip: when you go to create a fire, use small dry dead wood at first and then you can work up to larger pieces. the dry and smaller the wood, the easier it is to catch on fire. Don't get discouraged! it's only three days!\n\nResponse to Little Seal: I said you could survive without water for at least a week. I never said you'd be at 100% or that it was a good idea. However, drinking unpurified water would most likely be way worse in the long run considering the various microbes that live in water. If he collects dew in the morning it probably won't be that bad. Also, if he finds food, he will be getting water from that. Keep in mind that these guys are making thier pledge go out into the woods with nothing but clothes. Also, congrats of joining the NAVY! hope you accomplish your goal.

A small pillow, extra socks, soap, at least 2 towels so you always have 1 that's dry, extra money for the scout store, and fishing gear.  Have fun, I always did.

Backpacker Magazine regularly reviews equipment, including sleeping bags.\n\nSecond link is article about why Sierra Trading Post is the best place to purchase equipment IMHO.\n\nYou have to factor in a few things:\nAre you using the bag in winter or high-elevation conditions?\nAre you limited by how much weight you can carry?\nWhat, if anything, is underneath your sleeping bag - a foam pad or pine needles or something else?\n\nDo you individually heat up or get chilled when you sleep?\nAre you looking to zip this bag together with another?\n\nHow many days a year are you using the sleeping bag?  It's not a good idea to store it in the stuff sack.  \n\nIf you decide you want to trek without a sleeping bag or tent, check out the third link.\n\nHappy Trails.

Kelty Eureka Coleman and Guide Gear all make great tents.\n\nI shop online at www.campmor.com and www.sportsmansguide.com\nand normally find great deals.\n\nMake sure that when you get your tent that you spray the seams with something like CampDry Heavy Duty Water Repellent, just to reinforce the waterproofing methods.

These are the typical precautions you should take before heading out on an outdoor excursion:\n\n1.Know where you are going and get a map of the area\n2.Know the weather and be prepared for it\n3.Make a trip plan and leave a copy of it with someone who can be trusted\n4.Bring the ten essentials plus any overnight/multiday gear you may need\n\nTen Essentials:\n1. Map/Compass\n2. Flashlight / Headlamp (with spare batteries/bulb)\n3. Extra Water \n4. Extra Clothes (Rain Gear)\n5. Extra Food \n6. First-Aid Kit\n7. Pocket Knife or Multi Purpose Tool\n8. Waterproof Matches/Fire starter\n9. Sunglasses/Sunscreen\n10. Whistle/signal mirror\n\nMulti-day/Overnight Gear\n1.Shelter (Tent, Tarp or other)\n2.Sleeping Bag (appropriate temp rating)\n3.Backpack\n4.Stove and Fuel\n\nThis is a basic list, you may need other things like bug spray, winter travel gear, or other equipment depending on where and when you are traveling.  It is always better to travel with a group of 4 or more people so that if one person becomes injured someone can stay with them while allowing at least two people to go for help.

Keep a selection of canned goods, Bottled water, candles, Flashlights, a basic first aid kit, dry clothing and blankets. Allow enough for 5 days for the whole family and add enough for an extra person so as you wont go short. Also some cash as teller machines could be out for a while. Other than that Things are specific for each type of disaster. (you need other things for a earthquake than for a tidal wave or volcanic explosion.

Never heard of a "camping box". I have camped for years, what are you trying to use it for? I just use coolers, back packs, and cardboard boxes that I put into plastic garbage bags to keep dry. I use plastic tool boxes for fishing gear.
