What to bring camping?

Question

My bf, myself and 2 other couples are going camping July 6-8 in a PA State Park. There is a fishing hole, a beach and bathroom facilities, although we are in the woods. We are bringing the following:
Sleeping bag, Tent, Tarp, Stove, Propane, Tent Heater, Chairs (foldable), Lantern, Flashlight, Fishing Rod, Tool Box, First Aid Kit, Rope/Bungee Cords, Paper Plates, Plastic Utensils, Plastic Cups, Metal Cups, Knife & Cutting Board, Grilled Cheese Griller, Baking Sheet, Pots, Marshmellow Forks, Napkins, Paper Towels, Aluminium Foil, Trash Bags,
Lint, Ziploc bags, Fire Starter Logs, Water, Ground Beef, Chicken, Bread, Cheese, Turkey, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Butter, Apples, Cinnamon & Sugar, Carrots, Celery, Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Mustard, Ketuchup, Maynoaise, Marshmellows, Hershey Bars, Graham Crackers, Eggs, Milk, Mini Cereals, Sunscreen, Bug Spray, Portable Radio/CD Player, Cooler, Cooler Ice, Bug Lantern
I am a seasoned camper, but can you think of anything else?

In PA you can't bring alcohol into State Park because we are a Quaker State

Answer 1

* You may want to bring bowls for the cereal + milk.
* Maybe some salt, pepper (and picante sauce?) for the eggs.
* Buns for the burgers/chicken?
* Anyone a coffee drinker? If so, bring something to make coffee with .... or instant coffee if you're REEEEeeeeeealy desperate.
* What about snacks? Are you just doing carrots/celery/apples or would you want some trail mix, pretzels, chips, m&m's.
* Fishing bait.
* What are you going to grease your pan with to cook the eggs? Maybe bring some bacon and use some of the bacon grease.
* Going to need a burger flipper for the burgers and the eggs
* Unless you're just drinking water and milk the whole time, you will need to pack some sodas, sports drinks and/or juice.
* Are you planning on washing the dishes at the campsite? If so you will need biodegradable soap, a scrubber pad, and a big tub for the hot water.

Have fun!!

Answer 2

Good God, did you forget the RV because you may need one to put all that crap in it!

Is it that cold at night, leave the heater.....you have a boy friend for that......
leave the grill cheese griller...you taking electricity?
dont take anything camping that you dont want ruined by fire...like baking sheets.
dont you have sticks in PA for the marshmellows....even your hot dogs can be cooked on an open fire with a stick.
Leave the Bug Lantern and get a can of Yard Guard instead!

Sorry guess I might be a little too rough on you. I am a minimalist when it comes to camping, the more you pack the more you have to unpack and then repack...oh and then unpack again when you get home! its quite the production.

Dont for get your toiletries: toilet paper, shampoo & conditioner in one if possible, tooth brush and paste, comb or brush etc...... bf is not gonna want to kiss you if you dont brush your teeth.

Here is a link for rules and regs for PA state parks. Try page ten of the document.

Answer 3

A dutch oven or two, shovel, axe or hatchet, charcoal and lighter fluid/charcoal chimney, insect repellant, sunscreen, sleeping bag pad, towels. Take toilet paper, you don't want to discover the public restroom is out of paper, or equipped with John Wayne Toilet Paper.

I suggest you mix the dry ingredients of biscuits, substituting powdered milk for whole milk, and pack it in a ziplock bag or plastic container. Then add milk or water to make your biscuit dough, then cook them in the dutch oven. Or you can mix your biscuits , roll them out cut them and freeze them. Store them in a freezer bag in your ice chest until you are ready to cook them.
