what clothing do you pack on a camping trip? any advice on essentials and how to stop me taking everything but the kitchen sink??!

lol Spud..........

Bigtoe lol. depends how long your going for and what the weather forecast is.

Can recommed the zippy trousers (action pants as we call them) - also things that you can layer up as the temperature drops, plenty of tshirts, long sleeved shirts.  This reduces packing as large jumpers etc can take up a lot of space. 

Don't forget your waterproofs, including waterproof trousers - essential if you ever have to put your tent up/down in the rain.

And don't forget your JimJams so you can do that middle of the night pee run without being arrested!

its far from being a fashion show is camping wear what you feel comfy in and you dont mind it getting a little muddy! the creased look is in yet again so thats good :O)

layers is good

wellies essential

brolly don't forget

I buy loads of three quarter length trousers, shorty enough for warm weather and long enough for slightly cooler weather.

Hi,

For 2 nights/3 days I took a couple of pairs of utility/cargo pants, t shirts, plenty of socks, waterproof jacket, a smarter pair of trousers and a jumper (for evenings out....didn't get unpacked so wont bother again). walking boots, trainers, flats, pair of flip flops for the shower...could do with a fleece to keep me warm in the evening. oh and Pj's and underwear, sounds a lot but didn't take up that much room in the car.

What ever you pack look at it again and 1/2 it! You will find you live in the same pair of shorts for about 3 days. You get so laid back you just can't be bothered to change.
