Camping with friends?

Me and my friends are planning on going camping.This is our first time, and we've come up with a list of the things we need.I'm worried we might have missed some things, so.What are some must-haves to take when camping?Thanks!

Answer:

For the 2nd part of the answerSurface area is not directly related to volumeFor the same surface area a sphere will have a larger volume than the cylinder.
Basically it is for stabilityIf the tank were rectangular with vertical walls, the fluid would have a free surface effect as the tanker went into a curve or turnThat is, the liquid would try to shift to one side which would change the center of gravity of the trailerAnd depending on the specific gravity of the liquid could easily create upsetting momentsA round tank vastly reduces the free surface effect in that it doesn't have a vertical wall to rebound fromAnd the rebounding of the fluid would be at different speeds, angles enertia SN
Three possible reasons: Aerodynamics to reduce drag from air frictionSpheres can handle pressure better than flat plates (guess)More volume can be contained in the sphere than the cylinder for the same amount of surface material used.
You didn't say if it was in a camp ground or notHiking into an area may be differentWe camp in camp groundsTent, sleeping bag/blankets, etcWATER! Make sure to take your own just in case the campground doesn't have any drinkable waterHave a water container in case they do have some drinking waterFood, Bug Spray, matches/lighter, firewood (can't depend on finding any once you get there)Lights(some campgrounds have electricity) if not you will need a lantern/flashlights(toilet paper, paper towels (luxury items)These are the basicsMost of all, just enjoy yourself.
