If you have never camped before, you may be worried that you will be missing something important when
you arrive at your camping destination. To be honest, it happens to all of us sooner or later. We unroll our tents
and find we do not have any stakes. The skillet we thought we packed is at home on the stove. The weather
turns cold and we remember we should have brought extra clothes. If you are like me, there is only way to avoid
such forgetfulness: make a list. Do this well in advance of your campout, assessing your needs and creating a
list of things you want to be sure you take with you. Then, after you have gathered everything for your trip,
check off the items you have and be sure that nothing is missing. Then double-check the list again for a good
