cooking
when i liven in my tent for 6 months we had access to cooking facilities and apart from that i've generally been camping with a car so weight no problem.
however this year we're training it so i'm trying to whitttle down what we need in the way of cooking stuff.
obviously we have a stove. and i have a cup and a vango cooking set (frying pan, big pot, little pot & handle & k,f,s set)
and we have one of these eyeshadow towers like this full of sugar, salt, pepper, seasoning etc
what else might we need (bearing in mind theres two of us) - smaller & lighter the better

ooh I love camping porn....
I purchased myself one of these for glade:
It's so clever - it's a holdall and a rucksack, and it's got a hidden cover that zips up to protect the harness.

wow! i bought a proper massive rucksack with back support when i went to denmark. it doesnt hold masses though. but its sturdy as fek.
i really like the look of that one. how many litres is it?

cool
bout the same as mine. best bit is once you spend an hour fixing the back support properly you need never do it again
i found with mine that it was a bit cumbersome when it was empty even with all the stuff done up tight. me and it in a little 2 man dome tent didnt leave much elbow room

Already done that... and spent about another hour going "ooh! another pocket!"

Wiskey I dont want to piss on your bonfire but the space blanket will only reflect the heat that is radiated from your body.
Your body heat will mainly be lost to the ground via conduction and so the sb will not be much use.
Chris Bonnington (famous mountaineer for those that dont know) didn't even bother taking sbs to Mount Everest, on one of his trips, due to the very small percentage of heat lost through radiation ('Everest, the hard way', C. Bonnington.).
To prevent heat loss to the ground the best bit of kit is a rolly mat either the posh self inflating jobbies or just a cheap one from lidls.

you want one of these - it's got a kettle!
Balders is right.
I've use normal tall traditional gas stoves, the new flat hob gas stoves, that parafin jobbie balders has posted and a petrol pumpy indian thing and IMO the best, cheapest and safest for camping is the one above.
It uses fuck all fuel, isn't bothered by high winds and no worries about explosions.
wiskey said:my camping list is:
tent
groundsheet
sleeping bag & blanket (or if going by car two double duvets)
towel & tea towel
chair
stove (+ pans & eating stuff)
cup
water container
pen & paper & scissors
first aid kit
torch
string
candles
clothes pegs (for making structures)
small rucksack
bin bags
hand cleaner
toilet roll
ashtray (no point in hotrocking the bottom of your tent it lets all the water in trust me)
but if you're only going for 1 night you probably only need half that (ands if you dont need to cook its less again). of course if you go by car you can take all sorts but sadly i cant drive

Ahh, isn't urban great like that sometimes - there you are at work pondering how you should be asking urban for camping advice and list, and you come home and it's already there!!
Could you elaborate a bit though on the cooking and eating stuff, please?
On the only longish camping hols (both southern europe)I've been on we didn't take any cooking stuff, and either snacked or ate in a restaurant and had lovely coffees and pastries from campsite cafe in the morning.
But soon I'll be going camping for a week in a field in Dorset, so we're gonna have to make our own coffee and some cooked meals. What's essential/useful?

Ive decided Id actually really like to try camping. Ive only ever been with the sea cadets and that was cheating cos they had these big massive tent things that slept 8 people and were green.
Im in a similar situation to wiskey in that I dont have a car or drive - how difficult is camping with out a vehicle?

lol - umm i've asked if someone else can give me a bit of advice but heres what i think so far
stove
spare fuel
water container
tea towel
cutlery (i was eyeing up some titatium stuff but that completely over the top for the uk
)pans - a 1 person set normally has frying style pan, large pan and small pan. and pan handle. mostly they pack up quite small
kettle or coffee pot depending on your taste and caffine addiction
plates & bowls
mug
washing up liquid
breadknife
but i'm open to suggestions for additions

its normally getting from the train to the campsite that i find boring/hard.
carrying your stuff is easy if you invest in a good rucksack with lots of attachment places.
and you need a tent
if you change your mind you can come with us tomorrow (we have spare tents)

Indeed. I've never owned one but my mother got one for a family camping holiday when I was young & spent more time scrubbing the bloody thing than any other activity on that trip.
It never made it home with us either, she either quietly binned it on the last day or gave it away to some other unwitting mug of a camper!
