PACKING LIST
 

Here's my list of what to pack, and some links to other people's information. My list includes just about everything to camp in luxury, so if you are flying to an event, you will need to modify it for weight and bulk. Also, it's pretty obvious from this list that I am not a fighter or a mother....
