Hmm, whenevr we go camping, we always seem to manage to forget something.
Little things like bottle openers don't seem to matter but big things like the ends for blow up matresses do :-\
Trying to make a list of all things to remember to take with us.
Does anyone go camping regular and have a list that they use (i'm big on lists when going on holiday!) or can they suggest things they take along
I.E Camp bed Sleeping bag Tent Compressor (to blow up bed) Camping stove Cuttlery Plates Cups/mugs Plastic cups Bottle opener Tin opener Table
and so on...........
Hints and tips would be great - we have been going camping for about 6 years now but always manage to forget something so your thoughts and items would be greatly apreciated!

Talking about being adventurous.... what's the tent for Nutty? A bivvy bag is MUCH lighter and takes up a lot less room! <shudder> Last time I slept out in a bivvy bag I was rudely awoken at some god awful hour by someone shooting at me I then had to 'tab' with full kit for a couple of hours to another base camp, across Catterick Training Area in January with a howling wind blowing sleet in my face ... my lowest ebb ever! Not happy memories of bivvy bags! Note: Relax, it was an exercise ... they were blanks!
