'any suggestions' is VERY broad.
leaves a million options.
I suggest you employ only Non-Violent Communication ( ala Marshal
Rosenberg ) in your relationship.
that kind of suggestion ?
you mean camping suggestions I'm sure.

ok.........pile up everything you think you want to take.
reduce that pile by 25 % .
reduce that pile even more.
the less stuff you take, to a practical degree, the more fun you'll have.
