Camping Inventory

We bring a lot of gear with us, especially on longer trips. Since we travel by car to drive-up campgrounds, this is not too big a deal.

We've organized most of our camping gear into "tribes," each in its own color-coded stuffsack:

Tribe	Stuffsack Color	Contents:
Earth Tribe	Large Red	ground pad for the tent, guylines, clotheslines
Feast Tribe	Black	pots, pans & skillets, dishes, cups
Fire Tribe	Gold	Matches, lanterns, firestarters, mosquito coils
Long Tribe	Violet	long items such as grilling tools, marshmallow sticks, fish grills, knives & cutting board
Pow-Wow Tribe	Small Red	cards, travel scrabble, Uno, Skip-Bo, cribbage board, poker chips, Hoyle's Rules of card games, stargazing chart, hackysack ball
Spice Tribe	Medium Red	spices, salt & pepper, cocoa, coffee/tea
