Packing list for Camping at unconferences

Based in part on https://wiki.har2009.org/page/Camping:Some_guidelines, and my experiences at the recent SSWC here is my packing list:

Essentials:
- Tent - be aware most tests seem to be designed for tiny people, so get a slightly bigger one if possible.
- Ground sheet/sleeping mat/air mattress
- pillow
- Towel
- Torch
- Warm jacket
- Waterproofs
- phone charger (unless your phone is one of those really simple ones that can last a couple of weeks on one charge!)

Good to have:
- Spare torch or one of those head mounted ones
- Spare towel
- extra jumper, multiple thin layers
- knife or multitool
- string
- hat/pippo

Things that will make life easier
- multi-block/extension lead - there are never enough power outlets at these events.
- Jesus-tape/gaffer-tape/duct-tape
- bungee cord/luggage strap
- Case trolly - the bigger the wheels the better. Useful if the wheel on you back breaks, easier to clean, if you hurt your back and can't carry your bag.

(I have used Clas Ohlson not because thaey are any good (in fact not sure where i got my stuff from!), but as they have pictures for the things where the name it not 100% obvious, and sell it in Finland and Sweden)
