I can't believe that someone actually proudly admitted they bring a "fanny pack"! Hilarious stuff. My packing for fishing trips usually consists of large or small stanley thermoses filled w/ black maxwell house. Always black. As for packing a chair, I just take one of my gobi sidecases off put my jacket on top and sit on that. Or take both off and use them as armrests and just sit up against a tree. Looking for a good longer telescopic fishing rod, though. This 4'6" $25 dollar wal mart job aint cutting it. Too short and flimsy. Binoculars are fun to have. Clean rags, hand sanitizer, BEEF JERKY-(that's and important one for me) plenty of clif bars a can of off, a large jug of water, sunblock. Tackle. Plasticware pilfered from various take out places. Flashlight.bungees and rubber bands for some reason.

I guess my definition of primitive precludes picnic tables. Besides, I would get all dirty for nothing sitting on the ground, and primitive doesn't include running water to clean up. I found a little chair (in my garage, go figure?) that was a delight on my last campout.

I found the stool - $5.65 + 10.95 shipping, couldn't justify that.

I thought a folding table was over the top until I had the opportunity to make my kitchen in the dirt. Fortunately, I found a chunk of 2x10 board and made an impromptu table. Now I own one of these from Campmor. It's so clever!

primitive camping - note chair and makeshift scrap wood table.

No motorcycle camping trip should be taken w/ out a fanny pack containing skin moisturizer.

Here's my packing list:

Keys
Ipod
Cell phone
credit card.






Okay, I'm joking. I'm sure my list will be as long and impressive as some of these other lists. If I itemize it when I get back, I'll post it here.
