Bring a towel.

A headlamp frees up your hand instead of holding a flashlight; this is invaluable.

Redditor u/camcam76:

Duct Tape solves nearly any problem.

Scores of socks fix wet sock discomfort, which happens often outdoors. Socks are the simple, good fix.

Redditor u/dak446:

Bring a large poncho or tarp. You might need another layer of waterproofing.

Redditor u/Salt_Entertainment97:

Use any shoe you can easily put on and take off. Redoing shoes every time you enter the tent is a hassle. This changes everything.

Redditor u/LazyPants69:

A chair lets you sit somewhere other than the ground. It is very nice to have one.

Redditor u/gruntillidan:

Add an extra strap and clip to fix your backpack. It does not add much weight, but it stops a lot of frustration. I know this from experience.

Redditor u/CaterpillarCute1103:

Use an extra empty bag. You never know if you will need something else to store things.

Redditor u/myztry:

Air bed repair kit for that slow leak that has you on the ground every 2 hours.

Aluminum foil makes camp cooking easy. Cooking without aluminum foil is very difficult.

Redditor u/Cry1ng_And_Dying:

Bring extra money for more food and blankets. I froze because I forgot an extra blanket.

Redditor u/OhTheHueManatee:

Glow in the dark tape marks anything you want to find in the dark. I use it on tent zippers, toiletries boxes, flashlights, and trip hazards most often.

Redditor u/Delica:

A sleep mask blocks the sun.The sun always rises before I want to wake up, and a tent does not block light.A sleep mask blocks the sun.

Redditor u/XoGossipgoat94:

A hot water bottle fits in your sleeping bag to warm your feet. People offered me $50 to use it that night. I bought more to sell on my next trip.
