Accomodations:
4 or 6 person tent
Sleeping bags
Camping chairs

Cooking:
Cast iron skillet to cook over a fire with
Large cooler, with ice, water, soft drinks, beer, and maybe some lunch meat for sandwiches or meat to cook.
Fishing gear
Knives/Forks
Lighter

Other essentials:
Sunscreen
Bug Spray
First Aid Kit
Handgun

Rope and/or paracord. I usually tie a rope between two trees. Gives you a place to hang things off the ground. Great for clothes, lanterns, etc.

Liquor takes up less room than beer

Aluminum foil for cooking

Soap (hotel soap or body wash both work out well)

Lights Lights Lights

Flushable or biodegradable wet wipes depending on if facilites are available. A clean crack is a happy crack.

French Press (I bought a cheap glass one for like $7. If I break it, no biggie, but it has lasted multiple trips and makes better coffee than you drink at home)

I always bring my katadyn water filter, too.
