Here is a list of last minute things to do before you leave on your camping adventure. Remember to double check your entire checklist right before you leave. Don't assume someone else packed an item. This way you won't forget anything.
It's rather frustrating to finally arrive at a remote campsite, then remember that you've forgotten something vitally important (like sunscreen!) Believe me...I've done it.
