- Bedding: we've found that the more layers of bedding you can put UNDER you to insulate you, then you'll be really warm even if you just have a quilt over the top of you. So we put down:
- foam roll mat
- thin travel mattress that we extracted from a pull-out sofa
- a duvet
- blanket
- sheet
THEN you
and a duvet on top.
- Fold-up chairs are good. Cause after a few days of sitting up straight, your back will be aching to lean back.
- Head-torch so that you can read in the tent hands-free, brush your teeth etc. without having to juggle a hand-torch
- Bright lantern for the tent, not a wind-up one - cause the light from wind-ups is really dim. More light at night = a happy camper
- Radio - cause stuff takes so much longer camping, and music definitely reduces my grumpy levels
- A small storage tent so you can have everything laid out and to hand, instead of trying to root for it in your pack or car
- A beanie/hat, cause a hat can cover a multitude of sins and bad camping hair. Unfortunately I have a winter hat that makes me look like a loony person. Not cool when I just want to be casual and wear it round the campsite.
- Platypus-type water container so you can go hiking and not have to keep taking your pack off for a drink
- Fold-up 1 litre water container so you don't have to keep trogging over to the water tap all the time
- Wind-up USB charger so you can wind up your camera and other items
- One of those canvas bags so you can take your stuff to the showerblock in something nice, not a common placcy bag
- Food that doesn't go mouldy easily - cheese, ham, choizo, granola, fruit, some of the german seeded bread in Lidl, UHT milk
