A cat litter tray

Cat scratch pole.

What with your litter tray, the cats who are going will be quite comfortable.

I wonder if anyone is sitting next to tins of cat food. Would be useful.

I wish I was sitting next to my cat so he could go too, but he's out.

A box holding my fountain pens, some Heinz mayonnaise and some glue. Oh and I’ve just realised the mayonnaise is standing on box of watercolour pencils.

Not all that useful in an emergency but if we all happened to bump into each other I think we’d be ok!

My dh , the t.v. remote & a cushion .

This plus a giraffe print fleece.

WoollyWolf · 21/04/2026 19:07

A pillow and one of my dogs. I'd be pretty safe in the wilderness with her, but she's a notorious pillow thief and I wouldn't get a look in with it

An empty chair and a school corridor

I’m quite envious of the giraffe print fleece! I’ve got giraffe print trainers 😁

A bunch of daffodils and two cat beds.

A glass of malbec and a portable battery pack

This is more or less my exact last camping trip list!

fruitypancake · 21/04/2026 19:10

The dog .

DanaScullysLegoHair · 21/04/2026 19:10

A cushion, hot water bottle and a boxed plastic tomato growhouse.

I feel they could be semi-useful.

Buscobel · 21/04/2026 19:10

A side table and a lamp. Neither are going to be any use at all.

RS1987 · 21/04/2026 19:10

Weirdly - my camping mattress!

MudPieGarden · 21/04/2026 19:10

A dog, a cushion and a piano. Dog and I can spend our time 'singing' with cheerful musical accompaniment then argue over the cushion.

NerdyBird · 21/04/2026 19:11

hmmm, a coaster, post-its, a tape measure, glasses cloth and beyond that the gerbil cage. Not particularly helpful!

Iliketulips · 21/04/2026 19:12

My husband 😂. He's actually quite handy to take as have a good sized tent, which I'd really struggle to do on my own.

DizziLizzy · 21/04/2026 19:12

My glass coffee table, hot cuppa tea, oil burner and lighter (no candle). The lighter would be useful!

Defiantly41 · 21/04/2026 19:14

4 cushions and a blanket - cosy!

froasty72 · 21/04/2026 19:18

The contacts of my wardrobe 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

edited to say:- it was a good idea at the time....

DoloresDelEriba · 21/04/2026 19:20

A large glass of Sauvignon and a computer mouse. I'm stuffed.

TryAndGetOutOfThat · 21/04/2026 19:22

The landline, a vase of flowers, some pens, a model of a motorbike, and the window.

CheeseWisely · 21/04/2026 19:25

A travel high chair strap thing. Won’t even have a chair to put it on. Can I also have the blanket that’s over me and therefore to the right (and left)? That would at least have some use.

clearlyy · 21/04/2026 19:26

My vape and a tv remote

Lengokengo · 21/04/2026 19:26

Duvet, puzzle book, pencil and rubber. Sounds about right!

frozendaisy · 21/04/2026 18:35

An electric coffee bean grinder

All set where we going?

Field in middle of nowhere. Where I heard we could camp. With a bull in the next field and a loose padlock.

The dog
