Reading the Camping Calamities thread made me think. As a novice to camping I have dutifully packed the things on the Camping Checklist, have some spare tent pegs and a pole

but what should be in my Tent First Aid/Tool kit?

Duct tape, scissors, needle & thread, seam sealant.

Follow Vals lead put it all in a bag and when you buy anything put spares in the bag or if thowing anything out e.g.  inflatable bed cut a piece out for patch and plug incase you lose one.  I also carry cable ties and a swiss army knife told OH it was a prezzie for him.

You mean to say that some people actually throw out their old camping gear? 

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
