Post your camping / gear lists!

SAR Jeepster

Observer
I was just going over my list to share with our Search & Rescue team the equipment I carry in the Jeepster and the trailer for longer trips. The list seems long but I like to be prepared and drive an old Jeep so I carry a lot of parts and tools. I also want my wife to enjoy longer trips so we carry some extra amenities. I have a note pad on every trip and am constantly up dating the list to keep up with Jeep modifications or items for better trip enjoyment.

Scott-
I love your list! Unfortunately I only have a shelf in my garage, and I transfer everything from there into the truck.... I think it is time to update my technique!

I have a list, but its mostly tools and camping supplies, plus a detail check list on truck prep. i.e fluids and what not. . Everything goes on a shelf in the garage too. This way you just put everything in the truck. Makes it stupid simple when getting ready to go. After a trip you can add or subtract from the items as needs change. I go a lot of places that require you to be ready for most anything, so this works for me.
For food that changes based on the trip and time gone.

edit: I try and go as light as I can, but I carry a lot of tools. I've cut that list down too, but stuff happens. I've had to repair and fix a lot of stuff over the years so I have that list down pretty good.

We are actually fairly organized. all of our camp gear is always with in a few feet of each other so nothing gets left. we do have a list but thats for food so we know what we need and what my wife needs to buy. Everything fits into 2 27gallon superboxes that stack up nicely in the toyota. add a large ice chest and the top out with sleep bags, pillows, tent and chairs. leaves the back seat for Sierra and Rowdy with a few toys.
I am in the process of figuring out the Ford list but as it has less recovery options, I will probably need more recovery tools lol

Most lists (to be fair I've seen a few here with this included) forget to mention leaving your itinerary with a friend or relative including recognisable features:
- your description
- clothing
- vehicle/tent/canoe color
- expected return date/time
- when to call for help

Last fall when I did my Ishpatina Ridge outing, my wife asked when she should advise authorities that I was missing... I replied it depended wether she wanted me found dead or alive !

classic!

I got the whole family to pass there HAM tech license, so we can make contact. My youngest final passes her test and it came in handy 2 weeks ago, as she could reach out to mom whenever she wanted too.

My camping list varies based on what I want to cook/eat. But I do bring enough tools to fix most any issue with my truck. Take 2 weeks ago, the rear caliper froze up and I had the Allen wrench needed to removed the caliper, plus a C-clamp to free up the piston so we could continue. I replaced the caliper once we got to an auto parts store.
stupid stuff like that can ruin an outing.
