Every camping trip needs roughly the same gear - but the one time you forget the tent poles, the headlamp, or the coffee, you really remember it. The fix isn't packing harder; it's packing from a list you've refined over time.
This checklist covers the week before your trip down to the drive out, with the packing timed so you're not doing everything at midnight the night before. Start from it, then shape it to your own gear and camping style.
A week out: plan and check
A few days out: food and gear
The day before and departure
After you get home
