There is a useful ist in the Features/Tips section.

Also check out this thread

As for windbreaks, its entirely personal - some people like them and others don't - its up to you!!

Start with the bear minimum you think you can cope with (with a few luxury items thrown in), slowly build your way up to needing another car, trailer etc, then you're CAMPING.  Then you can spend your time away working out what you don't need to take with you, what will double up as something else, what would be more useful than the thing you already have, and what else you could possibly need.  Then your'll find, your've probably got as much, "not needed any more but will keep in case" stuff stored in the loft for years to come.

On the point of windbreaks, it like many items, you take them, then not need them or can't use them due to weather etc, leave them at home and you get there to realise you should have them!!!  

Take a notpad and pen.......

Write down everything you didnt need and things you should have taken :)

Then the next time you gear will be right
