Sat in one of those recently. I am really fighting the urge to order one...
Just an out of shape middle aged guy who loves doing outdoor things with his great kids...

Crocs for around camp comfort
CPAP machine because I like sleep at night.
Technically two items, but they go together nicely
Beam and Coke!
Oh, it is. Believe me! Well, not sure about the nutrition part, but I do know my body won't function without it! And by the number of ways to do it it warrants its own group!
Sorry mate, but that just made me cringe! While caffeine is a necessity, I can't deal with Nescafe.. The way I do is is as follows:

The Hanging Viking
Trip reports:
A fishing mission
So this trip didn't turn out the way I anticipated..
A new hanger being born? Three nights on Bruksleden from Västerås April 2014
Do two one nighters a two nighter make?
The Tail of Two Trout - Six Nights Fishing in the Wild, North of the Arctic Circle

A watch. On long distance trips, people say it's a luxury. Is the sun out? Start hiking. Is it night time? Go to bed. But I use it in conjunction with a map or guide to figure out how fast I'm traveling and how far I have to go. I could just look on my phone (which is also my camera), but that's an inconvenience.
A pillow. Small, packable camp pillow. A balled up article of clothing isn't a pillow.
I always bring a book of short stories. Reading horror tails by Clark Ashton Smith in a deserted forest in the middle of night is usually a good idea.
I haven't tried hiking with the ukulele yet, but it's on the books. It would have to be a solo trip, as my ukulele skills are sub-par.
Real food!
