ferrettkitt Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Why is it that when you go camping you always forget something! My list this year is: It isn't complete by any means Tent Sleeping bags Camping beds Soft mattresses Genny Petrol Torch's Fuel Food Utensils Milk Tea Sugar Mugs Plates Camping stove's (extra one just in case one doesn't play ball) Drink whisky beer rum so on so forth Water containers Bog roll Washing up bowl Sponges for the above Cool box 24 hr rations just in case Toothbrush and toothpaste Kitchen sink What do you take with you? After going to the Scotch Piper in the RB44 with the lads and lasses of the West Lancs MVT I think I can add some more items that I forgot to take with me. Cooking Oil Towels Pillow (the 9 by 9 tent canvas was a hard substitute) Spare Light Bulbs Genny tools for when the beep:argh: is reluctant to start (Spark Plug spanner, emery paper & wire brush). I drove down in the diesel RB44 so not likely to carry those tools. Spare fuses for the plug for the lights that plug into the generator. Everyone elses suggestions Tin opener Bottle opener (cork screw type for the wine lovers amongst us as well). Spatula/fish slice Pain killers BBQ Camera Map book Frisbee to keep the kids quiet or exercise for the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The last few times I have been roughing it I have ended up sleeping in the passenger seat of my car :-) Buy a Volvo estate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The only thing I forgot for the Elvington weekend was the power lead for the fridge, so I could top up the cold from a 12v battery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 One essential that hasn't been mentioned yet, is a Mobile Phone with charger lead so that you can phone up the Wife to bring over all the bits you've forgotton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 On the charging of portable things front. There are now very good solar panels available. I find one very useful. And yes the modern ones do work OK in dull weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
