I suspect 5 canisters will be more than enough, but there's no harm in having it. :)

Also, plan to bring one water bottle for daily tote'n'use, and a flask for something to decant your alcohol into at night. If I recall correctly, there's no glass allowed around the bonfire, so a booze-only plastic container is a perk.

Can opener? Food storage stuff?

Biodegradeable shampoo and conditioner -- I seem to recall this was a camp requirement last year.

Mm. Yeah. Food storage.

Also garbage bag.

And it's handy to have a dirty clothes bag of some kind, even if this is another garbage bag. Just don't accidently through your clothes away! :D

I have this biodegradable soap stuff from MEC which claims to be useful as dish soap, body soap and shampoo. Especially if I get a hair cut close to the trip, I can make do without conditioner for a week, so that point is covered.

Nalgene family added to the check list, along with flask and booze.
