Careful , it sounds like you are both enjoying the shopping for camping experience far too much .

At some point one of you will have to be the sensible one - it's bad enough when one objects to all the purchases(they happen anyway), but both of you  - it's gonna get very ,very expensive !!!

Enjoy,enjoy,enjoy....

It gets worse, wait until you get to the stage where you look around non camping shops thinking about how you may be able to adapt normal everyday items for camping purposes.

Sounds like me last year getting ready for my first trip

A word of warning about your water carrier though.  If it's of the collapsible variety I bought one last year and try as I might I could not get rid of the foul smell and taste it gave the water - rendered it undrinkable, though would be alright for washing up.

This year I've followed advice found on here and bought a 5 litre bottle of mineral water (on offer at £1 from Asda) with a handy carry handle around the neck. On our trip will use the contents then refil from tap then put in recycling at the end of our trip.
