Thought it would be fun to compile a shared camping checklist . . . what do you like to bring w/you?

1.  tent & ground cloth
2.  foam pad / cot / air mattress
3.  work gloves / warm gloves
4.  sleeping bags & pillows
5.  paper plates & eating utensils
6.  paper cups & drinks
7.  marshmallow sticks & smore's stuff
8.  book of campfire songs / "camping music" / musical instruments
9.  pocket knife
10.  water bottle
11.  toilet paper
12.  lawn chairs
13.  clothes - hiking boots & warm jackets & swimsuits & pants / shirts / shorts & hats & sunglasses
14.  sunscreen & bug repellant (for those who use them)
15.  toiletries & towels & wash cloths
16.  first-aid kit
17.  rain gear
18.  flashlights / lanterns & extra batteries
19.  personal supplements / medications
20.  camera & film
21.  telescope / binoculars
22.  pets?
23.  cooler w/ice
24.  cooking & serving utensils
25.  paper towels
26.  Dr. Bronner's eco-soap & sponge / brush / spritzer of vinegar for cleaning
27.  garbage bags & extra produce bags
28.  propane for stoves / lanterns
29.  cutting board, knife, can opener
30.  coffee & french-press
31.  water jugs
32.  campsite decorations

33.  camelbacks
34.  super-sized ziploc containers to separate dirty/clean linens

That is a pretty close list to what we do.  The only really big difference is we use metal plates and cups and wash them with a biosoap made for camping.  The less the trash the better.  Raccoons will tear up trash even during the day!  Also, they will eat ziplocked dog food as well.  So I recommend a plastic container for that if you have a dog.
