I'm not sure if this counts as forgetting or not; personally, I suspect foul play.
Two years after my marriage had ended, the ex and I were still living under the same roof and things were horribly acrimonious. I badly needed a break and an old friend and I decided to spend a week camping in Dorset.
As all the camping stuff was in the loft, I was dependent on the not-yet-ex for getting it all down for me, including the giant Khyam XL Excelsior, in its enormous bag.
When we arrived at the campsite, I got the outer up with remarkable ease and went to put the poles in that hold out the back, where the sleeping pod goes. No poles. No sleeping pod. No groundsheet. The now-ex had split it into 2 bags and only got one out of the loft, all I had was the flysheet and the poles that are attached.
We both crammed into the other, smaller, tent for the first night and went into Poole the next day, where I bought my first Icarus. I was utterly delighted with it, and am now on my second Icarus. The Khyam hasn't left the loft since that trip, but I'm hanging onto it as it is so easy to put up solo.
Oh, and the friend I went on that trip with is the new Mr Fran.
Apart from that, the only time I recall forgetting anything it was just a tin opener. It's not that I'm organised, but most of the camping stuff lives in a series of boxes, so if we've got the box, we've got the stuff.
