What is the oldest thing you take with you camping or rving?

Besides living things that is. We still take my parents old Coleman gas lantern. They acquired it in 1972 when the bought a Minnie Winnebago. They gave it to us in 1992 when we started tent camping...

Had to think about it a bit - I was pretty sure it's our TV, but then I thought our 1970s Duncan Hines cookware is probably it.

No! It is our card game of Mille Bornes. My mom got it in the 50s, gave it to me and we've always had it with us and played it with the kids when we camped. (Those were the days before electronic devices.) We still get it out and play every once in a while - it's a perfect game to play while traveling. :)
