If nothing else take a fire extinquisher. I had to use one of mine last year to save the whole damn forest when at a camp site beside us the small propane tank on their BBQ went ballistic. There was no turning that thing off, flames were shootin everywhere!!

To make your life MUCH easier pre-prepare food. For instance, want to season your meat for the BBQ? Do all of that seasoning stuff and throw it into a zip lock. Same with veggies, salad makins, sandwich makins, and whatever else, everything you can. Gonna be there more than one night, take frozen meats. I always take a frozen steak (in a baggie, usually double baggy), just leave it in the cooler and it's ready to go the 2nd night. It will make youre life 100 times easier. Also using baggies makes it MUCH easier to get stuff into the cooler, ya can push it and shove it and squish it down into those hard to get to spots in the ice.

I use a regular ole Coleman tent, just make sure it's tall enough that you can stand up in it. It's hell having to do everything bent over in a tent. Coleman also makes a very slim camp stove, can't remember the name of it, but it works just fine and didn't break the bank at all. Take a couple of battery operated lanterns ($10 a pop) and extra batteries. At Lowes you can get a hat that has a 3 way light (one of which is a spotlight that shoots out in front of you) built right into it, this is a MUST for those late night potty outtings.

I'll tell ya right now that the cone with a filter is MUCH easier to make coffee in and so easy to clean up. I've come to prefer it over the french press when camping, but that's me. Just make it directly into a thermos.

Trust me, I know these things!! Been there so many times. LOL

But MOST of all... have FUN!!! That's what it's all about
