Our "Equipment" and Checklists

What has accumulated during our preparations and hopefully finds its place in the trailer, trunk, or on the roof ;-)

Overnight Stay
As accommodation, besides our trailer, there will be a rear tent on the trailer as well as a spacious 5-person tent. Additionally, we have a small 2-person tent on the roof rack for any spontaneous overnight stays during our trips. For cold nights, we have down sleeping bags suitable for temperatures around freezing (limit -4), plus a comfortable mattress for the trailer and inflatable mattresses for the trips. Hot water bottles complete the setup.
Battery lamps, camping toilets, tarpaulins, pegs, hammers, ropes, and cords…

Coffee & Cooking
To start the day, we have our small Bialetti suitcase with space for a small gas burner, a Comandante coffee grinder, a Bialetti moka pot, and our beloved MUKKA along with the required cups and spoons.
For meals, there is a practical pot set, two additional gas burners, and a 1.5l fire kettle from Petromax that can be operated with a gas flame or traditional fire (wood, newspaper, pinecones, etc.). Cutlery, dishes, a collapsible sink, various storage containers, a cooler bag that can be powered by a power bank, and a practical aluminum table with stools are essential. Instant soups, canned goods, whole grain bread, pasta, lentils, tea & coffee
