What the hell! You''ve got way too much!"Sleeping bagHammock"If you have one, you don''t need the other"bait"Why take bait? You will find tons of it on location. Duh."Billy"What the hell is this?"Tarpolean"Make your shelter out of branches, leaves and twigs. It''s just as good, and makes you feel like you did something. Plus, you don''t have the expense of a tarpolean that might blow away in the wind,  and it''s not plastic."Water bottle 6LWater sack 1L"One or the other, dude. You really only need the canteen, purify the rest of your water. You''ll save ~6 kilos."Hand reelFishing tackel + bait"I thought you said you were bringing food? "Mosquito head net"If you are going somewhere infested with mosquitos that you can''t stand them without a head net, don''t take me along."Bag cover"Do you mean "poncho"?"Camera Mini Tripod"Unnecessary, too much baggage, just take the shot by hand."Sunglasses + case"what, are you going to the desert? If you are, why do you need the case?"boardshortsrashtop"you are going to have to explain. Are boardshorts any different from regular shorts? Is rashtop a topical cream for rashes? "body board(if camping on beach)"rent one when you get there, only like 5 bucks"torch"If it''s dark outside and your campfire is dead, you don''t need to be moving around, you need to be sleeping. but, it''s not that much weight, I guess you can have it, so you don''t pee the hamock."Mini towel"skip it, a full towel is much better. If you don''t believe me, read the hitchhiker''s guide."Goggles"Why? what possible purpose could that serve?"Lighter"wuss"Tooth BrushTooth Paste"bah, use a twig and charcoal"Clock radio"you can''t leave 5 days without electronic entertainment?"Gas StoveGas"what''s the lighter for? Just make a wood fire, you don''t need a stove. There, I saved you another 5 kilos atleast."RazorMirror"Why shave? You aren''t doing business."Nail Clippers"clip your fingernails before you go.essentials:Hand reelFishing tackelWater sack 1Lwater purification tabletsTarpoleanponchohatboardshortsaloe vera creamtowelFirst aid kitTorchknifeSuncreamSoapLuxuries that I will allow:Tooth BrushTooth PasteLighterCamera + camera bagSleeping bagBillyI have been on camping trips where I have taken:socks and shoes (on feet)underwear, pants (not shorts), shirt (on body)hat (on head)knife and flint (in pocket)water purification tablets (in other pocket)10 feet of rope (around shoulder)food is easy to find if you know what to look for. Fire is easy to make, I really didn''t need the flint, but I knew I had a backup plan if I lost either the knife or flint.Oh, I forgot. YOU will also need a trash bag, so you don''t leave any of your plastic junk behind to pollute the camp site.    capn_midnight | Captain Midnight | deviantArtACM | SIGGRAPH | Generation5;  Here''s what you need:TentSleeping bag (or blanket or whatever)BeerFoodThat''s it. ;quote:TentSleeping bag (or blanket or whatever)BeerFoodWoman (or women)Now you are set. ;  I would side with Fuzztrek & CodeMunkie - You need two things:1) A campervan2) A womanThat is all.If no campervan (or woman) though, a billy is definitely the way to go. Don''t let things get cooked onto the bottom, though, or you''ll be trying to scrape them off with a spoon (I know, been there, done that).capn - a billy is like a combination kettle/tin/pot. Basically a 1-2 litre metal container that you can put things in and then place in/on/over a fire to heat said things.
