| One of the most difficult things about getting ready for | | | | Cutlery |
| camping is getting organized and trying to remember | | | | Serving Spoon |
| what gear to bring. I have been using this list for over | | | | Paring Knife or sharp knife |
| 15 years- modifying it slightly here and there. Its | | | | Frying Pan or Griddle |
| amazing how little camping has changed. Even when | | | | Can Opener |
| you add children to the mix the stuff to bring doesn't | | | | Cooking Tongs |
| change all that much. Over the years we have found | | | | Drinking Glasses |
| that it is actually easier to keep most of this packed up | | | | Corkscrew |
| and set aside for camping. So we have a bin filled with | | | | Lighter |
| things like table cloth for picnic table, tablecloth clamps, | | | | Aluminum Foil |
| can opener, corkscrew, cutlery, etc. Everything we | | | | Colander/Strainer ( try and drain spaghetti without one!) |
| need is there and we don't have to worry about | | | | Salt/Pepper/Garlic Salt |
| packing. Most these I picked up at garage sales or | | | | Dish Soap ( I use this for hand soap as well) |
