How to pack for camping

Those Scouts and Brownies were on to something when they talked about being prepared. We have put together a comprehensive camping list for you - simply tick off as you go (or cross off if you think you don't need it) and you will never be caught short again!

What you will need to take will depend on where you are going - if you are camping in the back of beyond you will need to take everything with you including a solar shower, water and perhaps even a toilet and gas fridge. If you are going to a well set up camp ground and are able to use their kitchen, fridge and freezer, water and bathrooms, your list will not be so long.

Either way, using a list that you regularly update will eliminate nasty surprises.
