The Essential E.Forrest Packing List. Must Bring. what should I buy. Best tents, shoes ect. What do you always forget?

I know about the side bar essential list

I would like to discuss specific items and random items. Even discuss stuff that's on the list.

I am looking for advice on items and camping gear and where to buy them. Perhaps links.

I am working on my list now I will be posting it soon. What is on your list? What do you absolutely need to bring? What do you always forget? Things you don't think of but make life much better Best options for tents and supplies

Thanks everybody Can't wait to meet you there. Love, Your gypsy friend from Pittsburgh

Edit: I need to buy a new tent!! Looking at colemans. Don't mind spending money. I want it to last.
