Hopefully this message isn't too far off-topic, it is however rocket related.


I'm planning on attending the Fire in the Sky event this year for the first time.  And from what I've been able to read about site for this event it is a little remote.  I don't have a trailer, RV, or anything fancy like that.  I also haven't gone camping in a tent for at least 20 years now, and my list of servicable camping items I do have is really short.  So I need to start looking for sales and buying the necessary camping equipment now.  Buying all the gear I may need for a family of five could take a little time.  And let us not forget buying and building a new rocket or two, I'll need something new and shinny to launch.

 

So from all of you who have attented launch events like this, I need help making a FITS camping checklist.  Other than the actual rockets and launch supplies what do you take to FITS?

 

So far here is my short list...

Camping Tents x2

Propane Camping Stove and Fuel

Food / Water

Flashlights

Minor First Aid Kit

FRS Radio

FM Radios (One for the campsite and one small portable)

AC Power Inverter

 

Thanks helping me plan for what should be an exciting weekend.
