1.  To encourage me to camp more frequently

2. What you couldn't live without went camping.

3.  What you wish someone had told you when you started camping.


1. Read the "nookie in a tent" thread.
2. Read the "nookie in a tent" thread.
3. Don't read the "nookie in a tent" thread

Thanks arty I'll be sure to have a look - although camping with a 7 year old and 2 teens don't think they'll be  much nookie in our tent lol!

1)  Leave the kids behind!

2)  Wine, beer, more wine!

3)  Never take your credit card when visiting a camping gear retailer!

I'm in the pack stuff ready to go group. We have a couple of those really big soft holdalls. One has all the soft stuff in (towels/Sleeping bags etc) The other has all the hard stuff in (Pots/cooking kit etc) We don't take anything from the house other than clothes. All of our camping stuff is prepacked and ready to chuck in the back of the car.

As for your tent - have you seen the video on the Outwell website? Really useful. Practice putting up/taking down your tent. You should be able to get that tent up in about 40 minutes given a bit of practice.

Always try to choose sites where there's other things to do close by. If it rains for example. Above all - chill and enjoy the memories you are about to start making.

Thanks Tidburyboy, the one from Yeomans on you tube is good too.  We definately will be getting lots of practice before we go - otherwise we'll be on you tube
