Camping Checklist

I have three large Rubbermaid storage boxes in the garage with all my camping gear ready to go. All the camping gear that doesn't fit in boxes is stored on shelves in the garage. Except for sleeping bags.  Those are in the house where mice can't get to them.  When we're ready to go camping, we just have to pack the ice chests, grab the gear, pack the car, and go!
