Got a small trip planned. Looking for suggestions or tips on stuff you wish you had, but had forgotten to take camping. I think I have my basics. Tent camping of course. Not quite old enough for all the luxuries, but have added some.
Inside the Tent includes: Tent Air mattress AC converter (for pump) Fan Pillows Blankie/Sleeping Bag Floor Mat
Outside the Tent: Hatchet (double as hammer) Fixed Blade Handsaw Paracord Lantern Flashlights Bug spray/Candles Tarp
Cooking Cleaning: Beer Mini-Stove (homemade Coke Can and woodburner) Fire starter Water Cooler Mess Kit Sporks

How about a cot? Anyone use one for camping? Generally I use a double thick air mattress. It's okay, but gets kind of "water beddy".
I've seen pads too that look like thick foam. Are they any good? They look uncomfortable.

i've got a truck bed mattress and tent for my full size pickup, its awesome! my new fav way to camp! the air mattress is very comfy but i add a full size foam pad on top too
Have fun! I've forgotten a few things camping before: Went to summer camp in my rubber boots because it was raining, forgot to put my sneakers in the bag when I took my boots out. I forgot my cooking utensils once. Its no fun cooking with a 6 inch spoon over a fire. extra socks. I've never forgotten these but their else seems to

I just order color coded Sporks for everyone. Thought it would be fun. Got a camp grill too. Probably could have had Tiller weld one up, but I needed it STAT. Usually I buy a cheapy one and throw it away after I'm done, but the cheap ones let hotdogs fall through.
I have shoes and socks covered. I will never forget them. Usually I forget the MFing pillow. Not to be a douche, but it is miserable sleeping without a pillow.
I built a Soda Can stove and a paint can wood burner. I think I prefer the wood burner. The Soda Can uses alcohol for fuel and the flame is nearly invisible. That's too much stress to deal with. I'll put up with the wood soot instead.
I did hear adding table salt to the alcohol stove would make an orange flame.

nother thing if ur using tarps over ur tent and or sitting area i have a ton of cargo straps, just the type for a pickup bed to hold things down 1500lb with hooks on either end, pretty long too if theres lots of trees i use the straps to lash the tarps to the trees, loads easier then ropes and u can pull the strap tight to keep the tarp steady, as long as the tarp has eye loops that is
