OK just for fun what are some of your luxury items you bring that make things a bit nicer

When I had a trailer it was easy to overdue this :) now no trailer I am more careful example used to bring a couple zero gravity chairs these days hammocks replaced those and pack small

Our luxury that we like

1) buddy tent heater almost a must with our dogs since they don't tolerate cold well (Basenjis)
2) big orange water jug easy for kids to refill vs tipping a jerry can (wife's fav next to heater)
3) Huge landlock tent doubles as screen house for eating and getting out of weather in comfort
4) propane fire ring nice with burn bans etc...
5) cots at over 50 sleeping on ground can be done not as comfy :)

I guess it depends on your definition of luxury. I consider the following essential but guess many (not on this site) would beg to differ

1) refrigerator
2) CFAIC
3) nemo cosmo pillowtop mattress
4) nemo cosmo pillowtop pillow :)
5) bagels and lox :D

I can go a whole weekend without food as long as I have cigars, a bottle of scotch and fire.
