P is for Packing
With every vacation comes packing. With packing comes a list! I love lists!
So very much so! Especially when
I check mark something off of that list.
It makes me so gleefully happy.

What am I missing?!?
Your list might come in handy for us as we have just bought a tent! Why camp in a tent when we have a caravan? We intend to do a bit of the rough stuff when in the Kimberley so will leave the van in a caravan park and head off with the four Wheel Drive and the tent. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you put having fun on the list, and then do it!
ReplyDeleteA comprehensive list! And yes most of us love to check mark the items on the list... what a sense of accomplishment it provides!

The first thing I see missing is eating utensils. I've actually been camping where we forgot those. It was not my best moment. Also, skewers are great for doing small things over a fire (like little rolls or marshmallows). Speaking of marshmallows, add some graham crackers and chocolate...s'mores!! Yum!

I love lists! I have a master list for packing which includes items for various seasons (hat, gloves, swimsuit, sunscreen...). When it's time to pack, I copy and paste the list and then delete the items I won't need. I also include blank lines for odds and ends. And of course, each item has a little box next to it so I can put my checkmark! ✓

Wow, that's quite a list. All my camping gear lives permantly in the boot of my car so I can take off at a moments notice, and I do believe I have pretty well everything on your list stowed and ready to go! Happy camping!
ReplyDeleteAnother day in Amble Bay!
There's something satisfying about ticking off those lists. My wife is very big on them, especially when it comes to holidays!
ReplyDeleteBe sure you have cooking utensils meant for a campfire setting. Also, the long forks for hot dogs & marshmellows & maybe the other thing you use for s'mores.
ReplyDeletePlastic dishpan (bring two) one to wash & one to rinse. Good for dishes & face/hands.
Collapsible water bottle, they come in various sizes, I used the 5 gallon one. Great for early am when you need water but don't want to trek out to get it.
Some solar lights around the campsite are handy for night time.
A small folding shovel often comes in handy.
Some clothesline & clothespins.
As to firewood, plan on purchasing on site (or at least in state).
Enjoy!!
