Pack Lists
Whenever I travel, I tend to make elaborate to pack checklists.
It would be handy to file them away, for future reference on other trips.

Algonquin 2022

- Intentional about packing list: print off checklist and check it
- Pack more wipes than you think you’ll need
- Extra sweaters for kids (they get dirty)
- Source firewood from your own site
- Pasta is great. It makes meals more filling.
- We think a stroller might not be needed for car camping.
- Wet food in cooler
- Dry food in bin
- Think about food storage carefully: car, bins, outside
- Preg-round coffee
- Tidier kitchen tent: bring a dishrack, pack the dishes in it
- One big tarp to keep campfire stuff dry
- Put a big tarp over chairs and firewood every night, just in case
- Longer tighter clothes line
- Theory vs practice: star identification, tieing knots
- Oven mitts
- Canned drinks
- We missed hot dots (or other fire roast-ables)
- Always bring plantains
- Ladyfingers + Chocolate + Fire = <3
- Camping is good enough, that we don’t need to drink alcohol. Partake with friends?

- Grilled cheese (with pumpernickle bread)
- Camping experiment: bannock on campfire
