It seems that the camping bug has bit me and I just can't wait for our next camping trip. It's not yet planned - but I've been acquiring camping supplies here and there when I could and each time we've gone, it's been a better experience.
Aside from the usual tent, sleeping bag and camp stove type of stuff, what are some camping "accessories" that you really love and/or can't live without?
We did great with a tarp and some bungy cords making a shaded area for us when out in the forest. Not so helpful in the desert though.
We have a fold up table with a metal roll top. Works great for camping in the middle of nowhere where they don't necessarily have a table. It all folds up and fits in a little soft sided bag with a shoulder strap like the chairs that are similar in design do. Walmart. Great deals on camping stuff. I hate to love them and love to hate them.
We got a tent heater before our last camping trip and I really appreciated that thing - even if it did make me a bit paranoid about it tipping over or something. (but I tend to overworry in the middle of the night about things sometimes and with a bigger tent I don't think it will bother me.)
I'd love to have some sort of camping cocktail kit of some sort.
