Great list! i just impressed my girlfriend by adding loads to her list. She's very organised! I think i just surprised her, thanks :)
You would have to have a log truck just to xart this stuff to the campsite,
Never forget the pocket pussy
I think this list is very helpful, whether you bring a dog or just camp with your family or by yourself, it never hurts to be prepared!
I find it interesting from the people knocking the list. They must not have gone on two week long camping trips with their family. As a married woman with three kids and two pets who has taken her family camping on numerous two week long occasions throughout her life, this is a list I wish I would've had handy when preparing, so as not to run around like a chicken with my head cut off every time.
You need these things. As well as basins you can fill with water to do dishes, and tarps to cover your campsite lest there be rain.
Camping with your children is a lot different than enjoying the nature by yourself. You have to think of everything because kids are fussy, and impatient beings. Just because the list is not particularly beneficial to you it doesn't mean that it isn't of use to many others.
Bringing glow sticks will surely make the camping FUN! :) Thanks
