Hello
This year I am determined to whittle down the amount of stuff we take camping each year. We have four kids, so don't have that much choice, but I'm certain we can get things down quite a lot, so hoping for some hints from you seasoned lot!
We also have a bell-tent and the bedroom inner, which I know takes up more space than most tents, but that's not really the problem.
We have four small self-inflating mats, and one double one.
We take four sleeping bags and one double one - none of which collapse very small - not sure how to sort that out without spending a lot of money on new ones (spending extra money isn't really an option this year 
)
We take a silly camp kitchen thing which I'm going to ditch this year. And do we really need a table? But that doesn't take up that much space as it's one of those teeny concertina thingies... We do have a very teeny one which we put the water bottle on so the kids can help themselves easily. Does anyone manage easily without a table? We only use it for putting things on while we're cooking. But last year we put the stove on the ground, so it was less likely to get knocked over - our camp kitchen is truly crap - so...
Which brings me to the stove. We have a double ring stove with a grill - do we really need that? Does anyone with a large family manage with a single ring trangia type thing?
We take a humungous crate of dry food - would love, love, love some tips as to how to do food when camping, but will make a different thread for that.
And clothes...we manage to get it all down to two suitcases...well, one large suitcase and a large holdall. I'd be happy to take just one of everything and have the kids get muddy and stuff, which they do anyway, but I worry about clothes getting sodden and them getting cold and drying them if it's wet etc. etc.
And what cooking equipment do you manage with? We have a pan set, a kettle, plates/bowls etc. and some utensils.
Oh, and torches, lanterns etc.
So any tips?
