Top 5 must haves for bongo camping?
I am a complete bongo camping newb... I have just bought a stainless steel camping kettle, a 15cm saucepan for beans and what not and a 14cm frying pan... we plan to use paper plates and cutlery.
We bought an emergency toilet.
What's on your "You will miss it if you do not have........top 5 list ?"
Thanks

Re: Top 5 must haves for bomgo camping?
Bizarrely I've just bought a bigger frying pan.
And I do have a habit, when faced with sachets of vinegar etc in places like Wetherspoons of going "ooohh...campervan vinegar!"
Oh, Asda do some good melamine mugs & plates, and I do insist on "proper" cutlery - I'm not in a tent!

Re: Top 5 must haves for bomgo camping?
I'm interested in your paper cutlery.
Tip: if you use paper plates on your lap don't use steel cutlery, it will do a number on the femoral artery.

I was very resourceful a few weeks ago and liberated several sachets of a variety of sauces from the pub which I promptly forgot about until a sachet of mayonnaise burst in my bag a few days later
The one thing that I try to remember is cooking oil (the spray ones are good) otherwise cleaning the frying pan can be a nightmare!
Babywipes are useful for many things and buy tins with ring pulls to avoid having a tin opener crisis (if you forget it).
Long matches are easier to use than short matches for lighting cookers and lanterns.
