Here's a suggested list of items you might like to think about taking to a camping event like Pennsic.
- Garb - at least one set of both hot and cold
- Boots or other footwear x 2 pairs
- T-Tunics or dress if you're a girlie
- Pants
- pouch to put your money and other stuff in
- socks or hose
- Belt
- stuff to wear to bed (depending upon shared state of sleeping arrangements). undertunics/dresses make great period nightgowns for both sexes. Otherwise consider pyamas/boxers unless you are close friends with your tent mate.
- A *warm* Cloak (it gan get real cold at night)
- Mundane Clothing - a dry outfit in the car can make a world of difference if everything else gets wet
- Food and utensils
- snack food since you cannot rely on merchants being available and communal snacks never last long, if they even exist
- Bowl
- Spoons (2 are harder to loose than one, besides, I don't like eating sweet stuff with a spoon that's covered in vegetable gunk),
- knife
- teatowel - helps dry your dishes, wipe your hands on during meal, mop up spills, etc
- Tankard or goblet
- Alcohol And a bottle opener for wine or flip tops.
- cordial if you get sick of drinking plain tank water during the day.
- Food or membership of a food fund
- Water most other beverages do not keep you hydrated
- Basket(s) to hold/carry stuff
- Camp Gear
- Chair
- table
- stove
- cooler
- Towel (so you can dry off after your shower)
- Tent (period or modern) (failing this, find someone else's tent)
- Sleeping bag/blanket (failing this, find someone else's)
- pillow - optional, but much more comfortable
- Lilo/sleeping mat/air mattrell/cot
- Duct tape
- Cable ties
- Plastic bags for garbage, dirty clothes, keeping stuff like your new drum dry
- Entertainments
- craft projects - if you're not fighting, there'll be plenty of time to sew/knit/braid/weave, etc while you watch the fighting or socialise.
- A Good Supply of No Shit, There I Was stories. (Note- these are sometimes available at the event).
