Gottcha!! (you terrible bunch) A well known funster forgot to pack knickers recently..What have you forgotten to take/pack with you on your trips and how did you resolve the dilemma? Did you come up with an ingenious answer or adapt something else to suit..OK ready steady go!!!
 
We went camping once and I forgot to put the tentpoles in the car they were in a separate bag:ROFLMAO: and I had taken them out to put something else in .

Been there, done that :LOL:

Early 90's, arrived at Largs, Scotland with a 'frameless' frame tent. Left my wife and kids in my brother in law's tent and I drove straight back to the NE to retrieve the missing poles :whistle:
 
When camping I forgot the gas bottle, and we have forgotten lots of things over the years. We now check everything twice before a long trip.

My missus forgot her knickers one trip, she borrowed some of my pants.
Stretched them so much we are still using a pair as a awning!
 
Left my coat at home ..got to cold and wet Brighton and realised when we arrived at site...have a fine walk around the marina wearing Madame's coat....she always takes a range of spares.....there was only about four inches if my arms exposed :eek:
 
My ex husband forgot to pack pots and pans cutlery etc on a campinig trip to Ireland..in the days before Sunday shopping and it was a bank holiday weekend..we ended up with plastic knives and forks from a chip van..and in desperation went to a car boot sale and managed to buy a Ken Hom Wok complete with a cassette of recipes..ever used a Wok to boil water for a cuppa!!

Went camping with some friends when I was a teenager. We borrowed a bell tent from someones dad but forgot the (only) pole.
We "borrowed" a scaffolding pole form a nearby building site that did the job perfectly.
 
Another time after I was married I forgot to put my wallet in my pocket and we arrived without money. Fortunately the kids had enouh pocket money between them for the site fee. (Camp site fees were much cheaper in the 70s)
 
Oh and the last one: we were living in the US and I worked from home a lot. It was Friday lunchtime and I was busy on conference calls all day so Gwen packed the car for a camping weekend in Vermont.
She told me everything was packed including my clothes, all i had to do was get in the car, she would drive, and I could continue on the phone for the two hour drive.
When we got to the campsite I was still in my slippers and I asked where my shoes were. OOps!
Of course being a woman she had about six pairs of shoes packed but none would fit me.
I spent the whole weekend in my slippers- fortunately it was dry and sunny.
 
Turned up at a CL with some (well known) Funster friends having, as usual, divided the meal responsibilities. My sole task was to make a moussaka. As it was large and only just fitted into the (crap) van oven, I decided to make it in advance and then simply reheat for the meal. It was only the afternoon preceding the meal that I realised my mistake........


........those repacked frozen co-op BBQ ribs done in the microwave were bloody marvellous, weren't they (insert Funster name here)?? :blush:

Well at least you didn't serve them FB Pies!
 
Loaded our small caravan with clothes for the boys, ours are packed in suitcase which are to live in the awning.
Arrived in Cornwall late Friday evening, tired, told wife going for shower where is the towel etc?
In the suitcase she says....................................then the realisation it didn't go in the boot :Eeek:
Go home she says, so driven 320 miles from Essex, then 720 there and back to fetch. Err no!
I borrowed teenage son's T shirts, she bought some cheap underwear, rang friend (from a call box) who had key to house.
Suitcase put on RED STAR parcels (remember them ?) and collected from Truro Railway Station 8pm Monday night.

Forgot that the dog was hooked on the motorhome tow hook one time when we drove from a camp site...:(
 
The Memsahib also forgot to pack knickers when we were staying in a cottage in the wilds of Weardale.
Had to drive miles to find shop that sold ladies apparel.

Also, when we were tuggers we drove all the way to a CL near Chichester when I realised that I hadn't picked up the tickets for the Goodwood FOS. Had to pitch the van then turn round and drive back home to collect them, a 200 mile round trip.

Score in the Clarky household, one all. :D

....the ribs were easier, with the added bonus of the fact that they actually contained edible foodstuffs. It was good fun, but a sod of a walk to the co-op.

I also do not like to insult my guests (well, not too much anyway) by offering disgusting crap to them for dinner @Mike B .......... :whistle2:
 
Thought I'd stumbled on to the wrong forum:D[/QUOTE]

AGAIN!
 
Not camping related, but when I was working I had to drive up to a “suit and tie” business meeting in Inverness, which meant setting off on the Sunday as the meeting was 9.30 Monday morning.

It was September, so set off on Sunday in casual gear, Jesus sandals on my feet, bag backed an in the car.

To my horror on Monday, I realised the only footware I had were said Jesus sandals and being Inverness it was tipping down with rain. To add to my woes, I was joining our MD at the meeting.

So all I could do was style it out, full suit, tie, and on my feet Jesus sandal and no socks.

I didn’t half get some stick for weeks after, apparently the guy we were seeing was a big Christian and asked the M.D. if I was taking the p1ss...
 
many, many years ago on a trip to the inlaws for a weekend, packed the van, settled the dogs in and off we went..
about ten miles down the road realised that we'd left my two year old daughter behind..:eek:
drove back in a blind panic to find her still tucked up in bed fast asleep, smile on her face because she'd got her red wellies on..
(the red wellies is another story)

edit..forgot to say, no knickers isn't a problem, just go commando, 'tis good and healthy to get fresh air around your bits, but easier for us ladies of course..:)

Went beach fishing once early in the morning. After walking for ages we got set up to fish and I took out the bait from the cool bag. It should have been frozen mackerel, squid and sandeels but I found I had accidentally brought a bag of frozen sprouts instead!
 
Wife forgot knickers once , she simply wore mine , by the way she wears
the trousers in our house anyway
 
In our early years of wintering in Spain (1998) we were on Camping La Manga when on the pitch next to us arrived the first Fifth Wheeler we'd seen!

That evening a knock on our door was opened to Irish Hazel who asked if we had a bottle opener! Her first words were "I suppose you think we're all fur coat and no knickers!"

We spent a good few days next to them and then saw them a year or so later in Portugal where they'd got a permanent pitch.

Dez and Hazel ... anyone met them and remember them?
