Non perishable foodCampfire cooking can be loads
of fun, but come stocked with snacks that require no
preparation or cooling, too. Chips, dried fruit and mixed
nuts are yummy go-tos.

Daggy clothesThis is not the time to flaunt your fancy
duds – go for comfort over fashion when you’re out in the
woods. A few essentials: warm PJs; plenty of clean socks
and undies;awaterproof layer; solid hiking shoes.

A torchThe thing about the wilderness is there’s no
lighting at night, besides a faint glimmer from up in the
sky.Atorchisindispensible; ahands-freeheadlampis
even better. Just don’t forget spare batteries.

A malletNo, this isn’t for clobbering your brotherwhen he
inevitably starts to get on your nerves – it’s for making sure
tent pegs are secure in the ground.

MatchesIf outdoorsy TV shows have taught us anything,
it’s that fire can get you out of all sorts of predicaments,
so it’s worth keeping some matches handy (in a waterproof
box, in case of rain).

A sleepingmatFact #1: the ground is not all that
comfortable. Fact #2: it sucks upall our heat while we
sleep. A foam or inflatable sleeping mat will provide
important insulation and stand in for a mattress as you
snooze among the trees.

A‘boredom box’Beingoutside isgreat and all, but at
some point you’regoingto need non-nature-themed
entertainment.Fillabox withreadingmaterial,board
games, paper, pens and a deck ofcards, and you’ll be set.
