I think that’s it (apart from clothes to suit the weather) but at least now I won’t lose my list and I can add to it overtime. Good job we have the campervan to store all of this lot in!
Happy Camping!
Don’t forget to check you have tent pegs too!
Interesting – not that I’ll EVER go camping, but Oll’s off to Leeds Fest on Wednesday, so wondering why the duct tape and chewing gum?
Hi Elaine, he’ll no doubt have a great time at Leeds Fest. Duct tape one of the essentials for fixing lots of things, we used ours that we just had in the van a few times from fixing gazebos to using to stick up a kids basketball net. Chewing gum is a good substitute to brushing teeth
Map of where you are camping – don’t rely on GPS/phone signal to bail you out when you get lost.
