What bit of camping equipment will you never part with?

[Chesapeake]

Sitting here getting ready to go for a weeks holiday up the bush and thinking about what I need to take,and what I can do without. Which got me thinking, you see a lot of camping gear advertised for sale at different times secondhand and I think to myself, I'd never sell my one of those. So, what bit of kit will you never part with, no matter what?  For me, it's the bbq hotplate on the pole I built thirty years ago, the Trailblaza fridge that's been in 3 different Toyotas, the Harding camp oven i've had since I was 20. maybe I'm too sentimental , but these things always have a spot in the back of the ute. What's your bits and pieces that always get a start?

I have a s/steel billy with a spout i bought nearly 30 years, the original lid knob melted years ago but a bunnings furniture knob has fixed that.

My tin pannikin. Been using it for camping for around 30+ years. It used to always travel inside a billy (which i still have) on the back of the bike, these days it lives in a draw in the camper. Gets used every trip.

Probably the Missus. She comes in handy on most trips and keeps me fed and watered and out of mischief.

The biji bbq plate
Just so easy to use, clean and store away 
Bought it years ago at a camping show and have never thought about a replacement.

Every time we take our Coleman pressure stove. A dual fuel model that we run on ULP. Had it over 30 years. Don't use it every time but it comes in damn handy for when we need the extra burner for cooking a big meal, when we run out of gas, when its super windy, heat multiple pots of water for showering or even when we need to melt lead to make some emergency sinkers. We have a single burner that lives in the drawer in the 4wd and a 3 burner that can go in the trailer. Always take the single, often both.

Hi,
   Bought a single Coleman ULP and gave away my dual burner. So much less space for something that only has occasional use. It will heat 10L of shower water if we can't light a fire, and will get the Bidji plate hot enough to sear a steak.
But I won't go camping with out my 51 yo Everest down sleeping bag.
Cheers

My down sleeping bag. Cost a bomb 20 years ago and I've been thankful every cold night since

I bought a two burner stove cheap on the local buy/sell page and and then a three burner and two burner for 40 bucks together. I use x55 solvent for fuel, buy it in 20 litre drums for$50. It is allegedly very close to the Coleman fuel that is'nt sold anymore. Burns very clean.
