I don't know how many seasoned campers there are in this bunch, but packing for a trip during this time of year can be tricky for noobs. Granted, it's hardly real camping, but let's start a list of things that are easily forgotten.

I'll start. (I'm also just bored at work and figured this can't hurt)

Equipment:
- Chair (sitting on the ground/rocks sucks)
- Tarp for under your tent
- Flashlight (insert fleshlight joke here)

Clothing (mid/high 40's are very cold when you're living outside):
- More layers than you think you'll need (ski socks are great in the morning)
- Winter hat for the morning/sleeping

Food/snacks:

whoa Matt slow down with that list before it gets too long...

- If anyone is using an air mattress, I definitely recommend to put a thicker blanket on the mattress underneath your sleeping bag. You don't have to take my word for it, but I would. Nothing like being cold and putting more blankets over you - only to realize the air mattress is pulling all the heat out from under.

Haha, TP, that's an essential that I likely would've forgotten.

I have ammo boxes full of all my campering supplies. I'm set.

Another handy thing to bring is a station wagon with enough room in back to have an air mattress. :D

That, and taking Champ's advice about needing some extra blankets if you're up on a tick air mattress. Something like a Thermarest won't have the same issue as a big tick one.

ThermaCell to keep the mosquitos away, if it warms up enough for them.. or just some bug spray.

Cell phone charger if you need it and your battery sucks like mine does.

That's fine, I just don't wanna sleep on the ground next to it. I don't wanna hear it. I don't wanna see it's lights. I don't wanna feel it's warmth when the door is opened.

That's all.

I keep my clothes in my sleeping bag with me. Keeps them from being cold/damp in the morning.
