What little things are a MUST bring?

[Bossy Bear]

My must haves: Burts Bees chapstick, small container of bug spray, my luxury food item is Godiva Dark Hot chocolate ~yum!, Tenkara fishing pole, Kindle/e-reader, & travel-watercolor set/sketch pad. Glow in the dark frisbee, C.A.H or a regular deck of cards are fun when we go with a group of friends.
Our dogs must haves: 2 chuck it balls (1 regular and 1 glow in the dark), homemade first aid kit for fur friends, glow sticks/bracelets from the dollar store to attach to the collars and guy lines before night falls

I like using one of the nighteyez clip lights attached to my dogs collar at night. It's pretty funny and creepy seeing a little white or red dot darting back and forth in the pitch black.

Another curious little "must-have" (and this is true) & permanent resident in my ridgeline organizer is a sachet of my grillfriend's homegrown lavender blossoms. She made me one several years ago, before an especially hard trip.
I liked it, and now I get a fresh replacement every year.
Say what you will. I'm ready. All I got to say is: "My hammock smells prettier than yours!"

I really like this idea and I look forward to doing this myself!

Nalgene flask filled with Knob Creek 100 proof Bourbon.....for medicinal reasons of course

Oh course!

My camp stool on shorter trips or trips that are summer lightweight trips: nice for sitting and makes a great night stand at the hammock. Extra coffee! candle lantern for ambiance when I can't have a fire (fire season or really dry weather). New issue of Reader's Digest.

That's no fun at all! I also bring a dedicated coffee mug...Snow Peak Ti-Double H300 Stacking Mug + lid. And without the top it holds my wine or whiskey in the evening. Well worth 2.7oz.

I have the 450 with lid... Awesome piece of kit there. BTW, It will also hold whiskey or Scotch with the lid. Like a sippy cup for grownups Will also prevent spillage or as some say, "alcohol abuse"... {Two Thumbs Up}

Earplugs. They can make the difference between a good night's sleep or staring wide eyed when the wind is blowing, the rain is pelting your tarp, or the crickets or frogs are just too loud.

Like others, my list varies with the type of camping...a must have for all types is a good chair or stool. Second to that would be a good headlamp.
If it's cool or cold weather, and if I can fit it in, I take my BakePacker....it's really nice on a cold morning having hot banana-nut bread to go with morning coffee.

Never heard of that. Very cool. How does it pack and weigh?

My 2 ft by 4 ft, 1/8 inch foam pad is a must bring. Awesome folded up as a butt pad, I can empty my stuff out on it without it getting dirty, and I can use it for extra insulation should it ever get that cold that my UQ is not enough.
