I wasn’t going to mention that one Jonathan . I think you’re referring to the chair that tried to put me back down under. That’s on the web somewhere up for sale as we speak.
I’d just gotten back to my seat from a very infrequent trip to the van for supplies. Sat back down in my chair around the fire then cracked open a Stella and put the bottle opener back down, then without warning the rear two legs of this super duper chair folded under the seat and I was turfed backwards unceremoniously into a crumpled heap on the floor. With a micro second of ass lowering movement I’d managed to grip the rim of the Stella bottle between thumb and forefinger and allowed it to swivel and avoided getting a Stella shower, more importantly not actually spilling a drop. For at least twenty seconds, nobody could move, hysterics is a funny thing.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,Nobody was hurt and no Stella was spilled during this savage episode

Hey folks. Cool replies so far cheers. I dont think I will see a Morrisons bag in the same light ever again ha. It seems to me though its all about the food and beverage side of things and a good chair as opposed to camping gadgets etc., then again i guess folks go camping to escape all that and live simple with company and no worries sort of mind set. Me personally though i have a thing for gadgety make life easier sort of things if i can see them so I'm probably going to the the swiss army pen knife at meets etc or that mad guy in the Green dormy that brings everything including the bath but you can bet your bottom dollar i would bring everything and forget something essential as food ha .

I always have a 12v mattress inflator, I loaned this to someone last weekend. I don't bring a mattress btw...
Rechargeable LED magnet strip light with PIR is my latest must-have
JBL Charge5 speaker
4 x Hand held CB radios, came in handy for a recent road trip
First Aid kit
Mobile wifi router

Cant think of anything else tbh that I must have..

I like the sound of that!!!!

Very low tech, but I always take a garden tap hose end like the one below and 20cm of hose. Amazing how many sites just have a bare tap which soaks your feet when filling the kettle etc.! This makes it much more convenient!

Wowsers and wow wow wow

My new camping chair has turned up and it is awesome plus ten. It’s a foldy uppy type of chair. One arm of the chair has a fab fab fab beer holder and the other arm has a ,,,,,,wait for it,,,, wait for it,,,,,, a built in coolbox to keep the Stella from warming and save me from some of the get up get a nice cold bottle sit down open the bottle, drain the bottle, get up get a nice cold bottle sit down open the bottle etcetera etcetera etcetera. For those that don’t know, this turns into a little evening workout circuit every camping evening punctuated with putting some wood on the fire.

This is a good list actually. That's a good idea for the CB radios too. What mobile wifi router have you got just for a matter of interest ? I need one in mine as i have nothing like that yet and is the one you got good ? .
