    @berg243 that's what the gazebo is for, just reverse ute up to it. I just got the cheapo to do in the meantime until I get some decent kit, like you mention, together. Having returned from overseas, I had to prioritise spending, but slowing getting decent replacements.

    My advice would be don't get a 12V chilly bin fridge. Flat battery for sure then you'd better hope the mattress is comfy while you wait for help! If you're getting one get a gas one. Pricy though. Or just a decent chilli bin and ice.

    - Multiple bic lighters as stated.
    - Two smaller water containers rather than one bigger one. One leaks, you still have half your water. Same applies to fuel containers. Also stacks in nooks and crannies better.
    - A charged 12v jump pack or spare fullsize battery somewhere out of the way.
    - A spade.
    - A machete.
    - One of the honda CRV picnic tables, they fold super flat (approx 1" thick) and take up minimal room. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfFmYfW64qw )
    - A couple of ratchet straps, they do all sorts: Put a tarp over, jack not-too-big fallen trees out the way, can perform some winch work, all that. Spring for the slightly longer ones (4 odd meters rather than 2.1)
    - Rubber hose for siphoning.
    - Some paracord.
    - Proper hot english mustard and some hot sauce. This is critical.

    If you want to seriously have one. It's best to have a car battery wired up that charges first when you get the alternator running.

    I have been trialing one of these. Been using it all over the south in some pretty crappy weather. Easy to pack up and put down. Only problem is the pack up in a bag 2m long so has to be transported on the roof. Have had some issues with leaking in one corner but shop very good to deal with and sent us a fly free of charge until we can get it back to them for warranty.

    I've put a grate in the bottom of mine to keep all your food out of the melted ice. Works a treat. Drain the water out each day. Nothing worse than your food floating round in the bottom in the ice water.

    All very well but I bet it’s all a bit snug to fit into the back of a Brumby ute!!

    One thing which hasn’t been mentioned yet is a mosquito net. If you’re sleeping in the tray you’ll want the tail gate down or canopy open for fresh air, but you don’t wanna get eaten alive by mozzies. Bit of netting to cover up the open gaps makes all the difference.

I personally learned a lot about camping from Bright Camping. It's a cool service and I'm really glad I stumbled upon it because it has great tips and guides for newbies to camping.
    Gonna bite here....soooo why are you on a hunting and shooting forum then...???
    Plenty of camping forums out there bud...most probably nowhere near as interesting as this one...

    warehouse cast iron ring cooker and 4.5kg bottle........so much faster than small cooker for similar price and you can simmer on it etc....put in plywood box to cut out wind.
    whistling kettle.....so handy first thing in morning...put kettle on and dont have to watch it....it sings when ready...also they boil good amount of water so makes cuppa and enough for something else....

    led garden lights...the solar ones.
    100% all of these!

    These tables are great and fold up really small. Can take a bit of weight.

    Ah but that's cheating. You're using a proper truck for starters!
