Camping and cruising equipment list
Over the years, camping aficionados tend to collect everything needed. They learn from painful experience what not to forget - again. Packing for them is just a matter of grabbing prepacked gear. They store it stuffed into one pack, one closet, or in my case, one group of Rubbermaid boxes. Everything is kept together so that when it is time to load up and go nothing important is forgot or left behind. We call ours "camping gear," and "camping boxes," and all of it is stored on the "camping shelves."
In our gear boxes you will find rolls of aluminum foil with only six inches left, dead spray cans, water logged matches, and barely functioning openers, corkscrews and rusty grimy pliers. Did I leave out dim flashlights?
Rather than list a truly massive list of mostly unneeded items, I thought I would attempt to list the important things that really impact me when forgot. Like my sleeping bag or coat, both I have forgot.
This is a boat camping list,
not surprisingly, it doubles as a car camping list:
Some of the items don't belong in a gear box (like clothing) but should be listed.
