We have a very retro camping kitchen that we found up DH's parents attic last year. It's about 30 years old, covered in a retro floral design, has a built in washing up bowl (with lid which doubles as a chopping board) and 3 solid shelves, 1.5M wide, sturdy but collapses flat. It's awesome and haven't seen anything else like it :-). Defo our necessity we couldn't live without!

Luxury extra - camping carpet.
Oooh, I'd love to see piccies of the floral kitchen! It sounds really cool!
I could do without almost anything but an airbed. If I had to sleep on hard ground, I think my old bones would give up the fight, and they'd have to take me to A&E to get me moving again!

Hey FoF - I'll take a piccie of it next week. We're going to Ty Parke in St David's for the week (first time we've camped for a full week, can't wait :-) ).

I would have to say my bag of bits and bobs for repairs etc.... It's always kept under the floor in the car and has guy ropes, seam sealer, storm seal, bungees, clingons etc...etc....

It's came in handy a few times already.

Apart from a tent? My dog.

Both my dogs are essential!

I've managed with just a tent peg before

I couldn't camp without my Trangia - got lots of other must-haves these days but once managed with just my Trangia and a tarp!

I would say my six legged fishing bed...and as an add on my fourseasons sleeping bag....never slept so well or soundly in a tent since I got them(except for the beds in the TT)...My days of sleeping on the ground or on an air bed are well over(except in emergncies)
