He's the master of his domain - the campfire BBQ. He cooks a steak to perfection, never burns sausages and grills the catch of the day like a pro. Good on ya, Bazza.

You know what they are. That second (or third) pair needed for early morning swims or a late-night dip in the sea. If you've got them, you'll never have to do the 'walking-in-wet-togs' shuffle across the campground again.

Believe me, if you're caught short without toilet paper you're in serious trouble. And, should one of your neighbours in the campground run out - you'll be a legend.

There are literally THOUSANDS of games to play with a pack of cards. Use this secret weapon to silence nagging children as a rainy day saviour or play for pride. If you've got a pack, you're guaranteed fun.

Yep, this classic Kiwi look is making a comeback. There's nothing like being the smart camper with a squirt of the white stuff smeared under your eyes. You do have a reputation to uphold!

*Please note, essentials such as sleeping bag, tent, food, proper clothing and footwear, hats and water are needed to supplement the above list.
