Me, I like a big 'ol tent,
hatchet
ax
packers stove (need a better one, the one I used last yea, callapsible type, scared the hell out of me, it wouldn't damper down for crap, and I thought we were going to get burned out!)
DAMN GOOD sleeping bag. This ones funny, one of my hunting partners showed up to camp last year with a cheap looking bag, I asked him what temp it was rated for, he said he didn't know, and had never heard of such a thing. Well, to make a story short, I didn't have to mend the fire much..... :chuckle:
I didn't use a cot, but my buddies think they are important, I just used a ground pad.
cooler (i like the newer style ones that last extra long)
stove to cook on
What else??? can't think of nothing....

Nothing worse than walking out of a nice warm tent to relieve your self. You know how it is, laying there awake, hoping the urge will go away, so you don't have to freeze to death.

Most of us here may have chances to do all three on occasion, or not. Guess we have to do it now, while we still can.
Yep, plenty of water is a MUST, and keeping it from freezing is always a thought.

Brinkman Propane Oven. Small oven to keep any meal hot, you can cook up a frozen lasagna, bake a pie, keep your liver and onions hot... Never leave home without it!
Folding camp chair.
Big ass tarps to hide under.
Twine.
Big bottle of propane and a heater...
Whiskey
Ice

Like the ideas of the tarps, any extra help to keep dry is nice.

Shower, one of the things I never go to elk camp without anymore. For about $35 you can build a super nice HOT shower, like the ones you buy in Cabela's for $135. Take a metal bug spray can from Home Depot, cut the metal spray handle off and attach a hose like you have on your kitchen sink. Wala you put the metal can on your stove and in about 10 minutes you have about a 15 minute Hot, Pressurized shower, way better then baby wipes and you won't even look at another solar shower. If anyone ever runs accross a 5 gallon metal bug sprayer, please let me know. Thanks!!Dang good idea!!

Are you talkin the pump up style sprayers like you'd put weed or bug poison in or some folks use for sprayin stain? If so I didn't know they still made em in metal. I got 4 that are plastic. Would luv to have a metal 1 though. 1 of my plastic models is a 4 gal unit. I suppose you could heat the water in a seperate container and then pour it in... :dunno:

For the metal sprayers visit Macon, White Cap, or Seco here in Spokane. Macon is on Trent close to SCC and Seco is on Broadway by the fairgrounds. They sell them for applying curing compound or form spray for concrete pours.
Nice.....
