If firewood is not provided at your site, bring along an axe. Rope can be used for a clothesline, among other things, and bungee cords can be used to lock a cooler (another necessity) or hang a lantern. A portable shower and/or toilet will be invaluable when camping for a week or more in rougher conditions. A solar shower is made simply of a black plastic bag and a hose with a shut-off clip. Direct sunlight will warm five gallons of water in about three hours. Most importantly, don't forget a camera to record special moments, such as your sweetie-pie pooping in the woods. We advise that you leave the fancy one home and buy some disposables or a pocket camera, in case of loss or damage.
