Camping Checklist

Spending a penny in literal fashion I see.

Those pay-as-you-pee booths are everywhere

In the case of toilet paper, that's very much in the "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" category.

Speaking of which, what sanitary facilities, if any, will be available? Might be good to have an entrenching tool (AKA shovel) along.

Speaking of does a bear well of course it does in the woods

I didn't have time to read all what has gone before but, if you're going for a few days and have a vehicle to lug it around in (I don't know how mobile you'll be or if you're just static fishing), I suggest:

- Wet wipes or even an old towel/ T-shirt/ rag for cleaning things.
- A fleece cover, cloak or something warm to wrap up in when sitting. Not a blanket but something lightweight but warm and snug.
- A torch is a must if you're camping nights but what is more useful is a full lamp - either LED or not - something to light up a camping plot efficiently.
- WATER!!! Can't stress this enough, unless you have a source of fresh stuff on site.
- Change of clothes in case things get wet, and on that matter, a waterproof jacket or at least an umbrella, but I guess that'll be in on the fishing items list.
- Tools: pocket knife, axe or hammer, Swiss Army knife. I never leave home without tools and you wouldn't believe how often I use them in daily life!
- Disposable cups, plates, forks or whatever if you aren't taking the real things.
- Clean underwear!!! I'm doubting you'll have access to a shower so in that instance it's at least nice to have fresh undies to put on everyday. You could also use the wet wipes for a wash if you get all grubby.
- Some soap of some sort to wash face and hands.

If I think of anything else I'll edit it in.

Enjoy your trip. Camping is great fun.

Thank you very much Shem.
And thank you all for your priceless opinions and suggestions.

I have a new, improved list written up - I couldn't have done it without your help. 👍

Drinking river water? No thank you, sir.
I'll stick to IRN BRU.

I sincerely appreciate your help guys.

Way to go champ!

You motor home doesn't have an air conditioner or heater?

It does but the caravan wasn't plugged into an outlet...

The boy scout handbook has a good one. There are pdfs attached here:

Would probably need the gun if camping here in Australia.

If I ever camp in Australia, I'd have a crossbow (fires at 315 feet per second) great for camping in dangerous places and is easier to buy than a gun.

Anyway I think Guardian should take a battery powered bug zapper, mosquitoes and flies are so annoying especially in the night when your trying to sleep.

Take something you can use to communicate with the outside world with incase you get lost.

Ok, considering we'll be driving practically into the campsite, and the fact thar we'll barely be leaving the site; I've created a better list. Including a-lot of the things suggested by others:

Necessities:

4-man pop-up tent
Dynamo Lantern
Potable Heater & Stove/Gas Cylinders
Tinned Food
Toilet Roll/Baby Wipes/Folding shovel
Midge Net
Extra Clothing

Not necessary, but advantageous:

Full Dish Set
Disposable Cutlery
Pocket Knife
Bin-Bags
Fresh Water
Tarpaulin/Ground Sheet(s)

^Sounds nice and minimal to me. 👍
I'm gonna lock up here now; again, I really appreciate your help.
