Camping list for a born-again camper

I'd camped as a kid with my family in a borrowed tent-trailer and later with colleagues in a Westphalia. I've only gotten back into camping in the last couple of summers and I'm digging it thanks to my best friend who is all equipped and who knows how to put up a tent, start a fire and laugh at my many inadequacies. I thought that I'd share the list I wrote to get ready for a great weekend.
