A great checklist helps! We developed this over the many years of camping, each trip forgetting something important and wishing we were more organized. We felt the need to make this list when one summer camping trip we left the sleeping bags in the spare room and on another trip, left the cooler in the hallway! We kept going without the sleeping bags but did go back for the cooler! We are doing a triple check on this one…And tension bars are my best friend, enabling me to organize my shoes and work boots without taking up valuable floor space. Tension bars also keep things in place in the cabinets so you don’t get wonked in the head when you open the cabinet and realize everything has shifted in transit! Sometimes you have to learn by experiencing things first hand 🙂
