Do you have a checklist that you use when you are getting ready to go camping? I have one, my family doesn't. They think I'm odd but I rarely ever forget anything. What is on your checklist?
I always make a checklist for any sort of travel away from the house. It changes each time. I should just make one on word and then re-use it. Mine has all the normal camping items, bug spray, first aid kit, cooking utensils, foil, etc.
There are times when I make use of a checklist but most times I don't. It is like everything is registered in my mind what to bring. I have a separate closet to store all my camping gears so I don't miss a lot when I'm camping out.
I am a list kinda guy. Sometimes our gear may get scattered a bit when we break camp - especially if the weather is bad and we are just stuffing things wherever. This makes it hard to be sure that everything is accounted for.
Yes I do have a checklist that I use to get ready. At first it was missing some things but after a few trips and modifications the check list is a great way to get ready to go.
I usually make a list before I pack to go some where but I don't have like a standard list that I use everytime. With a child you pretty much have to have a list or you are bound to forget something!
I am getting old and starting to be more forgetful than I used to. In the past I could pack a perfect trip with out thinking about it. Now I have a list because I simply do not have the memory that I used to.
At this rate I am starting to think I need a checklist for everything. I could forget my head if it were not attached, I already have one of those chains for my glasses too. I guess thats what happens when we start to get old.
I have a check list. I forgot to print it though. Now I'm home on vacation getting ready for our labor day trip and don't have a printer at home. I'm hoping tomorrow morning I can google some lists that will help but I had tailored the list just for this trip. *sigh*
Without lists I am bound to forget something, at least if I make a list of everything I could possibly need and check off what is packed I tend to not forget things as easily.
