Make sure your tent has a ground cover and rain fly, or you'll be in for a fun night if it rains. You'll also need:

Toilet paper
Matches/lighter
Knife

bring duct tape too.

I always have a couple loops of duct tape around my nalgene bottle just incase.

never hurts to have enough rope, tarps, axe/maul, knifes, I normally take like a 5 gal water bag and just fill that up, leave it in the tent or in the car

i dont carry much if any of the **** yall list. lol

i carry a 3 person lean-to tent, with no ground bivy or rain fly. it stays dry under it.

cooler? hell no
lantern/flashlight? no. headlamps. spend money on a nice one, it works more than good enough
toilet paper? depending on the area, but usually no. leaves work fine

duct tape, knives, lighters... of course

really all i bring thats big at all is food, sleeping bag, tent and a fleece. i dont bother bringing changes of clothes unless its winter. I bring a fairly well built first aid kit at this point, mainly because i have my WFR cert. 2 headlamps, a bearline(and 2 biners in case one gets lost) headnet(for bugs...) and an extra pair of nice wool socks

He's probably not backpacking. When he said he's bringing a cooler, I figured he's car camping. I don't bring much of anything, but he's probably not going for minimalistic here, Skins.

This thread needs to be revived. Any mountaineers out there?

[ghost93]

I'm currently in the process of building a kayak and am planning on doing a good amount of camping/touring this summer (as much as one can in Kansas, at least). Any of you guys have experience with stuff like that?
