Hi All,

I'm due to take my 5 year old camping for a night or two in a couple of weeks time and I was wondering what equipment i need!  the last time i camped was about 10 years or so ago.  I've got a tent, two sleeping bags, a gas powered lamp and small gas powered stove, cool box.  I was wondering what I need to make this short break a success.  I would put myself down as a casual camper - it's unlikely that this will become a way of life so I don't see the need to buy 'the best' equipment' but any advice on must haves and what to avoid would be greatly appreciated,

many many thanks,

G

Having read through the 'Argos' Catalogue (!) here is my list of what I need to take:

tent (already have); double gas burner stove; two air beds; 2 sleeping bags (already have); 12v pump; folding chair (?); water bag; cookset and kettle; battery powered lamp; head-torch and torch; rucksac

plus gas heater; alarm clock

Anything else?
