What unusual things do you take camping?

We are a family of 5 (kids are 9-15) and proficient campers and enjoy going as part of a larger group.

Everything goes very well but I’m always looking to improve the experience, space save and make things easier.

We don’t have electricity hook up and enjoy cooking at the site as opposed to eating out. The kids are helping and generally we share larger things with the other families.

What unusual things do you take that work?

We take a Stanley thermos and put any unused boiled water in there as we go along, so good for quick cups of tea, hot water bottles etc. Have bought these as well for this year, for maximum sleeping bag warming-upping. www.amazon.co.uk/Bottle-Water-Revolutionary-Pocket-Fleece/dp/B07MHD1WMV/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?keywords=long+hot+water+bottles+with+cover&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1553007358&sr=8-5
(did not pay that amount, though, they were on special offer)

also decathlon do quick dry towels that are altogether less creepy than the usual microfibre ones. bit bulkier tho.

i use one of those hanging storage things under the camping table as well, fwiw (the lower shelves sit on the ground). handy storage for sealed stuff, althogh you do have to make sure it's velcroed in hanging a little bit backwards or your tins slide out.

have also hung them from a branch of a tree, never thought of lying them on their backs. they're basically a concertina-ed wonder for camping purposes.
