We keep a plastic french press in our camping bin too.
Here's a few things we pack not on RJs list. It rain in the PNW and this bin doubles as our emergency kit, so it's a bit ovetstocked.
- dual burner camp stove
- cooking kit
- mess kits
- two 2" camp pads (fuck feeling every time my wife moves)
- two lengths of 50' rope
- bungee cord variety pack
- four pack lightweight tie downs
- duct tape
- tarp
- kelty fabric shelter and poles
- snap lights, hand warmers, hand wipes, and emergency blankets
- hatchet
- first aid kit
- ponchos that can double as shelter
- propane gas
- waterproof blanket
We have two cots and a queen size sleeping bag that travel separately. If I'm driving, I'm comfortable. I'm too old to bother with suffering for the fun of it. Same goes for the propane torch and welders gloves for making and maintaining a fire like a boss.
I also throw my jumper pack in the car. People like to leave car doors open when camping and getting stuck with no cell reception sucks. Ours has a cigarette lighter out, so it'll charge the shit out of anything that's USB in an emergency... Or if you're camping with phone addicts and don't put a squash on that.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
