FalconFN Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 It kinda depends on what you've already got, but comfy bed, matches, beer and wet wipes are essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph5172 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Wind Break - Handy to create a bit of a privacy barrier and may save your tent being blown around a bit if the wind picks up. Tarpaulin - Handy if it decides to dump 6 months of rain in 10mins (unless you have a very good tent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 What you really need is a hook up lead with 3 sockets that takes power from the campsite into your tent so you can run a fridge etc-like the one going begging in my shed that I keep tripping over-someone must want one?

chady Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 If the tent is brand new get it out before you go and check it out!! I all ways set mine up in the garden! Would not be first time I have been out and Sean people with brand new tents with bits missing or broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Dont leave anything in contact with the canvas as it causes leaks by channeling rain. Mirror, light for gas, something for muddy boots outside and slippers inside. Electric battery or gas lighting. its handy to have somewhere to dry things without bringing wet into the tent - lean-to cover or something. Corkscrew/bottle opener and the essential BACON, to be cooked before 6.00am in the morning - the smell will annoy other campers ! Oh and a lettuce in case its hot ! Enjoy yourself.

jimdfish Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Blow up airhead. I used to sleep on a mat. It was horrible. The ideal is to bring enough bog roll so you craft a mattress. If not ( and why not) airbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Beer ! That antibacterial hand gel is useful too. Gaffer tape for any rips in the tent/poles which go pop in the night. An electric pump for the airhead, er, airbed. Headtorch to help you find the hedge at 4am for a wee.. Packet of sausages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 One of these to blow up your airbed, great for the money. http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/3400195.htm Earplugs to guard against snoring, usually the tent next to yours.
