[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 641956, member: 3960"] Megsy, a lot of it is permanently packed to some extent. It just has to be checked and ticked off. There's nothing worse than getting out there and realising something critical is still leaning against the shed wall. Many years back, perhaps 35, I took the family camping in the southwest. We had a fairly big two room tent and we arrived without the metal frame. Fortunately while looking for a suitable tent site I'd spotted an old pipe irrigation setup long forgotten. I retrieved enough of the pipe to assemble a makeshift tent frame so we managed but it didn't go down too well with the wife at the time. On another occasion we arrived at the campsite and after setting up the tent and fireplace to cook dinner we realised that nobody had packed matches. On this occasion I had to disconnect a fuel like on the Mazda 929 and empty a little fuel onto the fireplace then I used the car's cigarette lighter to create enough heat to ignite it. We never allowed the fire to die out for the duration of our camp. We rarely end up in a location where there are other people so if we don't have it packed we have to make do or go home and we'll never go home :) [/QUOTE]
