The Perfect Campsite Pack List: Printable Checklist

A pack list that knows what you're up against. Five pages. One hundred decisions, already made.

The new edition is pressed, not typeset: worn ink, honest paper grain, and chunky type that looks like it came off the proof press at your favorite letterpress shop. The judgment of a seasoned camper is still built into every line.

• The Core Load: shelter, kitchen, fire & light, essentials, with the why beside the what. Block ice lasts 2× cubes; wool stays warm even when damp.
• Camp Math: water, firewood, propane, coffee, and sock formulas, so quantities stop being guesses
• Condition Decks: six add-on decks you check only when they apply: Rain Coming In, Cold Snap, With Kids, With a Dog, First Trip Ever, The Gourmet Weekend
• The Countdown: week-before and night-before rituals, trunk load order (last in, first out), and The Driveway Five: the five most-forgotten items in camping history
• The Meal Plan: a cook-backward grid, cooler vs. pantry
• Fillable PDF: every checkbox is tappable on your phone or tablet, and it prints beautifully on US Letter

Closes with The Golden Hour Rule, our favorite piece of camping advice.
