I buy all three in the combat pack from Costco. A box of forks and spoons has lasted me 5 years so far.

See now, we bought paper goods , but then discovered that most places, if we didn't have water, we also didnt have trash containers so we didn't use them much.
lots of places didn't allow campfires this summer to burn stuff.

If you dont have water, are you using what little precious water you do have in the tank to wash dishes?

Im a minimalist when camping. Too much******sucks the fun out of it for me. It just means more things to clean and more things to unpack. I like to do physical activity during the day, and then cook a basic no mess dinner and plop my butt diwn with beer at night.

I have a pretty extensive camping list that I have made up over the years. I keep it on my computer where it is easy to alter/add stuff and print it out. I have 7 headings. Food, Bath, Kitchen, Entertainment, Clothes and even one for the Dog. The longest column is Misc.

Not everything is taken on each trip so it is simply crossed off as if I had loaded it. This is why the cupboards in my small TC are not near full!! I do take more food, water and prescription meds than anticipated cause you just never know.

When I reach my camping spots there is no running into town for stuff so I can't afford to forget anything. Being retired I do a lot of camping.

Speaking of Duck Tape - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape

Interesting that "Duct" tape doesn't work well for heating Ducts

Camp in your driveway and have a pen and paper. You will soon find out the things you need.

Go camping and take a pencil/paper. Then write down items YOU fill you need for next trip.

I am very basic..others take everything PLUS

We have had our camper for years and still do this. Last time I forgot my book and my binoculars.

Duct or Duck. Common phrase, in fact so common that there's at least one brand that IS Duck Tape. They keep it at HD. :)

paper plates, paper bowls and plastic ware. (lighter weight, no need to wash after a meal, which saves water.)

Yep, Duct tape, not "duck" tape as others have said.
