Looks pretty complete to me. I always carry a few bottles of wine and a corkscrew. I
also use an air mattress instead of sleeping pad.

Now, that's what I call style in camping.

Do they sell lobsters at OSH?

The way this summer in Wisconsin has been going, bring rain gear! You'll need it!

> Sleeping Pad(s)

This item has been completely eliminated by the advent of the greatest camp
gear invention in my lifetime:

The Self-Inflating, Queen-sized air bed.

Originally these things were pricey, but our new one cost less than $30.
(Our old one, which cost over $70, was absolutely shredded at Sun N Fun this
year by the incredibly tough saw grass. That stuff penetrated our ground
cloth, our tent, AND our air mattress!)

I used to wake up sore and achy at OSH -- now, I sleep as well in the tent
as I do at home. I highly recommend one!

But more importantly, how does it do...ummm...for...ummm...morning or evening
calisthenics?

Well, Jim, I've not, ah, been able to test the, er, capacity of the
self-inflating air mattress, as I am compelled to camp at OSH with a
pre-teen daughter and a teenage son located mere feet away in the same tent.

We all have to make sacrifices to attend OSH...

So, sneak back to the tent during the day while the kids are checkin' out
all the planes!

Cash.
Credit card.

As for the air mattress -- make it one of those 6-8 inch versions that
looks like a regular mattress on your bed (unless, of course, you sleep
on a water bed. In which case you may be right at home in OSH....)

A few other items we bring:

- Hand held com radio (Great on the flight line)
- Solar powered cell phone charger
- Hand-cranked AM/FM radio with flashlight (no batteries!)
- Fold up picnic table (Atlas' useful load sure comes in handy...)
- Small camp stove (for coffee in the morning, cup-o-soup, etc.)
- Folding chairs
- Extra battery for camera
- REAL hammer and metal stakes (the ground at OSH is like iron)
- Gallons of sun screen
- Big-brimmed "airshow" hats
- Sandals to wear to shower
- Extra white socks
