Good evening/day everyone! (Im from the UK)
Im 18 and going camping with a couple of mates next week, for 3 consecutive nights, and I've never been before. We will be on a proper camp site, in some forest, so I was wondering from you experienced campers; what ESSENTIAL items do I need to remember to take? Particularly looking for those items which most people forget and then get there cursing themselves - because I dont want to be doing this :P
Please feel free to list anything of use which will help me or us as a group of 12 to take ^^
My list so far...
Food (Help possibly on what foods are best) + Drink
Spare change of clothes
PJ's
Comfy hiking shoes + sporty shoes
Tent (Still need to buy one, for 2-4 people, any advice on a decent one is great!)
Knife/Fork/Spoon/Plastic plates
Cups
Soap
Shampoo (Planning on washing in a river if the water is clear :P)
BBQ (probably, disposable)
Sport stuff (cricket ball, tennis ball, football, badminton shizz - everyones chipping in here)
Toothbrush/Paste (I CAN SEE MYSELF FORGETTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS)
...and thats about it so far, so what essential...DERP...things have I missed out that I really ought to take, or stuff that is just cool to take ^^
Thanks everyone in advance
