what's the one thing you can never go camping without? (besides the obvious)

mine is pancake mix & the maple syrup for brekky the kids love cheap n easy

Porable Speakers. 😉 I've got the TDK Boombox which has heaps of power and make every camping to a party. 🙂

expresso for the morning (with scotch for the evenings 'course!)

Petrol for the camp fire!!!!

Burritos seems to be our thing, its also an easy way to get the kids eating salad!!

Campfire espresso maker. 😛 otherwise I don't classify as "human".

I just realised how practical those battery packs are (the ones with the inbuilt accessory plugs, hazard lights and air compressor). got one from ALDI a few months back and it saved me and a friends care already more than 10 times and I have had it charged only once right after I bought it. Good when your car battery is dead and nobody around to jump start the car with leads. 🙂

Does beer count...? 😉 hehe... fishing gear is ALWAYS packed... just never know when you'll see a good spot... Even on the drive to or from, I'll still wet a line for an hour or so... gives the kids a chance to stretch and run around as well... And of course the must-have Marshmallows 😁

a carton of xxxx gold, not to drink, can't stand the stuff, to give out 6 packs to say thanks for that recovery.......

Haha, that's gold. Some nice blokes recovering you and you poison them for their efforts? That's a bald move Andrew. 😉

Bacon, Because life isn't worth living (even in the bush) without bacon

i'll second that!!!

There's heaps of camping gear at ALDI this weekend. So if you want to chase a special have a look at the ALDI website. 🙂

^ yeah, some good stuff in this one... 40L fridge/freezer with a (previously) Danfoss compressor for $450... can't go wrong... buy two, use one as a permanent freezer, one as a fridge, you've got 80L combined for less than a grand... and a 120W solar panel for $250... not too bad...

As for the topic... another thing I thought of is my kids... Not by choice every time though! But if I don't take them out "playing silly buggers" I get in trouble! 😁 hehe...
