On a recent trip to Esperence (WA), we were discussing what was the most important equipment to have. After much discussion over drinks, we decided that the mattress/sleeping bag or what ever your arrangement is got the prize. if you can't sleep or rest properly, the rest of the trip becomes a nightmare. What do others think?:smilie_bett:
Alcohol.......
Enough grog and you can sleep anywhere.....
The mode of transport that got you there.
Cassette tape adaptor for your iPhone.
Camping with teenagers = Lots Of Food and water.
My mates...
Alcohol and swag

Still very green, fires not going anywhere. HAd a huge bonnie later in the night
I think good bedding will make or break any holiday
Be that a good mattress or warm blankets
and a decent pillow

Reckon a few might change their mind given another decade or two! I’ll go with the comfy bed too. Gone are the days of thin bits of foam & a bottle of Stones.
TD42 and Good Mates
A really comfortable oversized camping chair with foot rest and built-in drink cooler
Hmm I guess that's probably more of a nice extra than most important piece of equipment
Nah cos you can use that as a bed too =)Quote:

A good nights sleep... so need to be comfortable, warm, dry etc
Coming from Victorian perspective The most important is warm sleeping bag,then a bag that keeps your clothes dry.
Chainsaw & Axe
A necessity for a good Camp Fire
Definitely warm sleeping bag, doesn't matter if you are sleeping on just the ground or rocks as long as you are warm. Nothing worse than a cold nights sleep, and trust me I've had a few.
no fire+no sleeping bag+up in the hills=man spooning ;)
i also have to go with the bed being decent, only because i have a bad back and can wake up very sore 20 times during the night if its not. other than that i would say the matches to light a fire.
This is how I light my fires, inbuilt peizo ignitor.....Still usually carry matches as a backup though, and a ciggie lighter.Quote:
