By special request, here is a copy of the master list I use whenever I’m packing for a camping trip. Obviously, not all of this gear is appropriate for every outing. For instance, if we are roughing it at Beaver’s Bend, I’ll leave the crockpot and the golf clubs at home, but bring the kayaks. If we’re pitching tents for a week at family camp, I know we’ll want bicycles and dress shirts, but won’t need extra firewood.
By including all these items on my master list, however, we can mark off anything we don’t need, but still be reminded to take everything we do need. So use the list below to jog your memory as you create a master packing plan of your own, and see how much that simplifies your next camping trip.
