thiss has helped me a lot i was browsing for this thank so much for putting this here :]

Thank you so much! 2 weeks ago I jumped on here looking for exactly this and I couldn't find anything remotely close. I don't think it's too long. I'm newly married and have an 11 month old son, and I wanted to make sure I take really good care of my family on this trip so you hit the nail on the head for me!! Thanks again, bye.

Add duct tape, too. It can repair just about anything.

Yes, this list is a full list because if you're like me even though I know to bring clothes I feel better being able to check it off of my list. If you don't like the list don't use it.

Also...alot of the BASIC things you would already know to take are in the list such as clothes, sleeping gear, your tent, and the bug spray. this is for the campers that havent been yet for an idea of what you may or may not need.... Again thank you, i will be using this for a template in word.

this list may be too long for some..as some people dont like to READ they prefer to scan...this list actually reminded me of afew things we forgot last year, and would have ended up forgetting again this year. So thank you to whoever was able to come up with a list this indepth thank you soo much :)

Wow, to those who felt they needed to say something negative about the list - what do you care? If you don't feel the need to bring something from a list, you just don't bring it!

Posted on 03/03/2009 at 10:03:26 AM

Man your list is too freakin' long. And oh, you missed one more important thing for this list. Your house.
