camping

[stylinsam]

campings back on !! i no heeehee i change my mind alot, im only sleeping there for one night but staying for two days im not taking alot, what are the main things il need? xx

Tent (obviously!) make sure you've also got the poles, ropes and pegs (our family went the 300 miles down to Devon for the eclipse then realised the tent poles were at home! me and my dad had to drive back home to get them!)
Sleeping bag and pillow, use a roll mat if you're only sleeping one night, takes up less room than an air bed!

One night??????

You will hardly have to worry about outdoor survival much will you?

If you are not trekking, then take some form of mattress. Either a self inflating one or a decent roll.

If the car is near by then you may aswell take your own duvet and pillow. If not a sleeping bag.

I am sure others will have the cooking equipment.

Maybe a torch or lantern and some mozzy rings (ones you ignite) and some mozzie repellent.

Apart from some grub and water, thats it!!!

One night???????????? Scaredy cat.

Sam this is a good weather site to check up to 10 days away. http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/HOME/

Bring comfy tracky bottoms, thick sox and big fleece so you can sit outside boozing till the early hours!!

I am just waiting for some bird to say:

Hairdryer
Lady Shave
Eyeliner
Fanny floss
Lipstick
Ball gown
High heels
Nail exstensions

Blah blah bloody blah

On a serious note though, take some loo roll.

[4getmenot]

why some bird?? I've never took all that cr@p

[Joe_the_Lion]

You Ms. 4get, are not "some bird". Moreover, a lady of calibre.

[4getmenot]

See I don�t know, a lady is more likely to take all that stuff than slum it like I would :-)

[dizydosydoll]

im with joe dont forget loo roll and baby wipes come in helpful

[Skreecheeboy]

I would take a couple of survival bags too, not only will they save your life if you're suffering from hypothermia, you can also use them to double bag the floor of your tent as the groundsheets aren't always brilliant and they provide extra insulation/ stop tent getting mucky from your feet.

and shower gel joe!

[sleepy1]

you can take a hair dryer some camp sites you can use them in the wash rooms

[4getmenot]

Although I got home yesterday and had a photo shoot and my electric had gone! You never know whats important until its gone. Couldnt have shower as electric, couldn�t dry my hair, freezer was off, Aaargghhh

[redcrx]

joe, everyone knows that a tent hasnt got a shaver plug so why would she take electric shaver?????

sam, take your microwavable wax hun, thatll do the trick :)

[cazzz1975]

they sell wax strips as well, there is nothing wrong with wanting to look presentable on a campsite, I refuse to wear the balloon shaped shorts and unflattering tanks tops available in colours that will only give you a washed out looking complexion (as modelled in some campsites in england)

[Joe_the_Lion]

Survival as SKB saays is essential.

14 day rations of dehydrated food supplies
Water purifer tablets
Fishing Hooks
Needle and thread like Rambo has incase you need to sew yourself up
Compass
Foreign currency
Gun powder
Machete
Morphine


One night????? Dont even think of taking washing stuff?? Can you really not last 24 hours without a shower??

Sam
I'd take all your hayfever stuff since you have symptoms quite a lot. More pollen outside, mind you if you're going to God's own country the air is going to be a lot purer ;o) Have fun!

[teag1rl]

oops, just seen your original post sam, where you mention your hayfever. nevermind, it'll be better in the rain. I nearly drowned in the rain camping a few weeks ago but I had the best fun ever. Was quite nice being dirty for a few days too-makes it all the more satisfying when you get home to a nice hot shower!
