prydey - what do you have in the way of a vehicle, (& trailer?), bbq, etc.
This was my setup the last time my wife & I went camping: Tent, clothing, sleeping: * Tent, tarp on ground, hammer for pegs (decent pegs are a must) * Blow-up mattress, double sleeping bag, pillows, cig-lighter air pump * Extra socks, pants (if camping in a wet area or near a river), plastic bag(s) for soiled clothes. * Dress for the weather! Fire & cooking & cleaning: * Axe & saw for dead wood, otherwise a little gas burner will do the trick. * Fold-out table, chopping board, dish tub, camp utensils, oven lighter Food basics: * 1x drink esky, 1x food ice-box * 2x10L water containers, * 250ml UHT milk or powdered milk comes in handy. * Small containers for coffee, sugar, tea, butter, flour, oil, etc. * Anything that won't get spoiled or crushed or soggy in an esky * Tinned stuff, dried stuff, ready-made vac-packed camp meals. * X-in-1 spice shaker, for salt, pepper etc * Plan ahead for any fresh/spoilable stuff (salads, meat, dairy) * If drinking grog, cans are far easier to dispose of than bottles. Hygiene: * If you're near a river take advantage of it for personal washing... pref upstream of other campers :P Failing that you could get by with just soap and deoderant for a while, depending on summer/winter/activity. Failing that extra deoderant, or even fresh wipes can help. * TOILET PAPER!!! * Detergent * 2 bins or bin bags - 1 for recycling, 2 for rubbish. Take out what you take in. Unless you can burn it like beer cartons. * Basic first aid kit. Entertainment & comfort: * Cards Against Humanity (if the kids are old enough) * Regular cards * Fold-out table * Camp chairs * At least one decent lantern. Phone torches should suffice for toilet runs at night. I spent $100 on a Primus 1000 Lumen adjustable lantern that lasts ~100 hours on the minimum setting, ~10 hours on the max setting. * Jump-starter, which was actually used for charging phones (no reception - used for photos & music - use a cup as a phone speaker), for the cig ligher pump, and other stuff Google will help with various campsites (power/no power, water/no water, 2WD/4WD/hike, toilet/no toilet, pet-friendly, etc) ^^^ All of the camping gear was in the car, except a large fold-out table. ^^^ One of my more modest setups |
