When people take a camping trip the number one thing that causes things to go wrong is the lack of planning that people put in before their trip.
This is the number one reason for a lot of people's camping trips ending in disaster.

I have organised everything into sections to try and make the checklist easier for everyone to use and track their stuff to insure that nothing is forgotten.
