Bongo Fury

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

Basically a log bucket..in essence... about £30.00 with a seat, you can line it with paper and...

Loads of the sachets of sauce , sugar , salt , vinegar, them little long life milk things, stirrers
They give them out free at fast food restaurants

Bottle opener / corkscrew
Washing up bowl or large ish plastic box with lid which will fit under seats ( can wash up in it and store all the above list in it after under the seat )

That could smart

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!

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.
