Post your camping / gear lists!

[BajaTaco]

I have a Word doc that is about 52kb. I can't attach it, so I will email it to Scott.

Scott gave me his list a while ago, and I used that as a platform to make my list (thanks Scott!). It is a "unisex" list, so for those of you that want to make sure I brought my skirts and panties like I have on my list, please don't ask...

On most trips, only about 1/2 of the items actually get taken on a trip, but I like to have a comprehensive list and just cross off the stuff I don't want/need. That makes it very diversified for different types of trips.

Chris' Camping List

[robert]

Mine is fairly similar but more vehicle specific (since it's the one I use for the VW Westy). I alter what I'm carrying depending on the season and/or whatever activities I plan to engage in (paddling, mt. biking, climbing, etc). Yeah, I can actually fit most of this stuff in the bus with a little effort and yes, I really carry two wine glasses http://www.rei.com/product/237536.htm; I love a glass of wine with dinner- a dash for the food, a glass for me .

It's an Excel spreadsheet file so it can be modified easily- if anyone wants a copy just let me know. I'll try scanning it and posting it as a JPEG though.

Holy crap... you guys bring more stuff camping with you than I own all together.

I am VERY simplistic, and the reason I go exploring/camping is to step back in time and get away from all this crap (technology mainly). My typical adventure is usually 3 days. Here is the stuff I usually bring

-tent
-sleeping bag
-foldup chair
-small aluminum foldup table
-backpack with some clothes and toothpaste/toothbrush
-small 4 ft fishing pole with some flies and some crankbait
-cooler
-my "kitchen in a bag" which is a small single burner coleman backpacking
stove, small bowl and mini knife/fork/spoon. It all fits into a small (8"x5") bag

I don't do many week+ trips like you guys. My longer trips are usually backpacking for 1-2 weeks somewhere outside the country. If I took longer trips in my truck I would probably have to bring some extra stuff.

Like I said, it depends on which vehicle, where I'm going, for how long, etc. My list is just so that I can run over it and see what I might need- actually, a lot of that stuff stays in the bus (i.e. cookware, some camping gear) and some I've never carried (i.e. a dishtowel, firewood). Obviously no need to carry paddling gear if you’re not going paddling, biking gear if you’re not pedaling, etc. A lot of it is travel sized too. It's a list I modified from another friend's.

In the Tacoma, I rarely carry much.

I will say that I really like carrying my 12V Waring blender to bus campouts though! Smoothies in the morning and margaritas at night.

Wow, I'm just glad I'm not the only dweeb that makes check lists for all their camping equipment... I'll post mine when I get home (its on my home comp.)

HIJACK ON:

Robert, you ever hit the Jerome Jamboree in AZ each September?

HIJACK OFF:


WOW, I need a list. My camping trips usually include a late night hunting through the garage for all my camping crap followed by an even later night running up to the "SUPER-BAD PLACE THAT'S OPEN 24HOURS A DAY PEDDLING INFERIOR GOODS AT THE COST OF SMALL TOWN AMERICA-MART" to re-purchase all the gear I can't find in my dungeon of a garage cause I'm the most disorganized person I know, and my groceries for the entire trip, since I'm all unorganized and whatnot and didn't get out to the regular grocery store earlier in the week to stock up on the important things like water, PopTarts, Beer and the obligatory pound or two of bacon and 12 pack of Roasted Chicken Cup-o-noodles. This whole process is followed by getting far too little sleep before waking up, dark and early, to start my early morning "checking of the rig" process, which is basically another mad scramble through the house trying to figure out where my wife's keeping the batteries for the camera these days, and wondering if I remembered to pack the toothbrush that goes along oh so well with the toothpaste that I know for sure I packed... I think, in there next to the socks and chonies.

Or something like that.
