Campin check list

Truckster,

You are way too organised for me : )

I have a habit of having to purchase "little things" that have been forgotten whenever we go away. I try and keep all my gear in plastic tubs that just have to be put in the back of the vehicle and off we go.

I have tried putting lists together, but as yet have had no luck. I have looked at the lists on this site, but I can never understand how David and Michele can fit everything in!

PS: What are the hooters for, or shouldn't I ask? I would have thought that you already had that covered in the Playboy magsJust Do It!

You'd probably think I was as boring as all ...... if you saw my list.
I keep it as a spread sheet in the computer and its got everything detailed almost down to the last spare nut and bolt. Reason being that I hate getting somewhere and find that I've left some essential behind. It's too hard to remember everything so if it's written down saves me having to worry about remembering. Just print out a copywhen needed.
We don't always take everything on the list, depends on where and for how long we go away. Take the list and add bits as you go or scratch off what you finish up never needing then update the list when you return.
Willie posted a good list a few weeks back but his wagon is always packed ready to go lucky b.....

Have you got a Versa light ?? Best thing since they invented vegemiteCarpe Diem

Why would Truckster take a wife when he is only a wanker with copy of Playboy ?

I am like Cocka,

I think from looking at those lists Rox and Diamond, you need to sell your campers and hook your houses up and tow them. Gee, they say us women are bad at packing everything but the kitchen sink, but I think you fellas leave us standing.................. LOL
Hey truckster, you havn't got toilet paper and soap and shampoo and tooth brush/paste and towel on your list..........oops and deodorant..............but more importantly don't forget your first aid box....................

Hey All,

This may sound really boring but here is what we do.

All the basic camping gear, lights, bedding, cooking gear etc. is stored in the camper in plastic tubs, all the time.

For spares etc. I have a basic kit, hoses, belts, fuses and the like, stored in containers to fit in the storage system. I built the storage system to carry all the essentials, spares, tools, recovery and first aid gear. If there is a space in the system, then something is missing.

I have a reasonably good but compact tool kit that lives in the shed till we go on a trip, then it goes in the car.

When we are away we take note of things that need to be replaced and do that when we get home. So next time we are going away its just a quick check as we load the car and off we go.

Yeah, sometimes we find we forgot something but I'll bet that happens to everyone.

Oh yeah, food and clothes. Depending on the length of the trip it takes about half an hour to raid the kitchen and wardrobes. For longer trips we may need a trip to the supermarket.

For our last trip, 3 weeks Central Aus and the Simpson it took about a week to pack but that included building the storage system and a carrier for the high lift. Next time 2 days max.

Duncs

It's a bit easier for us because the bulk of our stuff goes in the campertrailer and lives there between trips. So mostly it's just a matter of remembering to put clean bedding, personal items and food in. Having said that, since travelling with our little'n in tow, there seems to be so much more to remember so for at least a week or two before each trip I keep a pen and paper on the bench and create a list as I think of things. Our next trip is hopefully 8 weeks in the Kimberley with a 3 yr old and 3 mth old so we'll need to be extra prepared for that one. With that in mind, just like Cocka and Wazza, I've started compiling a spreadsheet list. Idea is that before every trip we'll just print off a copy and go over it. Depending on where we're heading, for how long and with whom, we won't need to take everything on the list but hopefully it'll save us from forgetting stuff.

Another thing I've started doing over the last few years is menu planning. In the past I used to just toss in this or that, different meats etc and sort of wing it from there. Now however, I decide what meals I'm likely to prepare and create a shopping list from there.
