Last time I went camping I failed to make sure my car air pump would attach to my air mattress (because I was too cheap to buy the battery operated pump when I had a pump that used my car's battery). Turns out not only was it ungodly loud, it didn't fit the opening well enough to actually inflate the mattress. ...skip forward to my friend walking through the campground to the owners house, and walking back with a full mattress, lol.
I've 'forgotten' toothpaste before (ok, I chose not to bring it planning to use my sisters toothpaste). Luckily last time we went camping I brought toothpaste, because she 'forgot' hers, lol. :guitar:
I've actually forgotten a camera many-a-time. Now my phone has a better camera than my actual camera.
I have forgotten my toothpaste and borrowed as well. One time I forgot my toothbrush. DW said here, borrow mine. I said some things are not meant to be shared :thumbdown:, even if we are married . I put toothpaste on my finger and brushed with that. I figured that would get me through the weekend.
I just remembered the time my sis and her family and DW (DGF at the time) and I rented a cabin. They drink coffee but forgot the sugar / spenda / sweet and low. My sis baked a cake and was going to ice it there. So they used scoops of the icing as sugar in the coffee 😀 The cake was still good but not iced as well.

Joe, you are right. Just because you forget something, doesn't necessarily mean you will have a crappy trip. I bet you talked to everyone in the campground who had a popup to see if their key worked in your pup :cowboy: These situations can become legendary stories.

I forget my glasses about 50% of the time. I wear contacts and am legally blind without anything. One of the reasons we bought a pup with a cassette toilet was because I forgot them once when we went tent camping when our youngest was about 3. At 2:30 in the morning, I was taking her to the blurry light spot several hundred feet through the woods on a trail I couldn't see. Finding the tent again was even more fun. We once rented a cabin in the woods and found that while it had a kitchen with pots and pans, it didn't have any cooking utensils. Not having a can opener, I opened some soup by banging on the hubcap remover from my car with a large pair of Vice Grips. We also ended up making biscuit dough in the coffeemaker's carafe and baking them in the oven's broiler pan. Last, we found our pup didn't have a lug wrench or jack when we blew a tire coming home from our first trip. Luckily, the car's jack was made to work on the pup and I had brought a large adjustable wrench to make sure all our new hitch bolts were staying tight, which I miraculously used to remove all 5 wheel bolts and the 2 holding the spare on.

Do we have to ask Pete?...... I know you are big on checklists, but I'm sure you forgot SOMETHING at sometime.
Oh, I never said I didn't forget things, but thats WHY we have checklists. Including having a calendar, since showing up at the campground a week early is really embarassing.
