After a lot of kayak camping I have a few favourites, in no particular order: A Hennessy's Hammock is a great aid to sleeping outdoors - needs to be complemented with a nice Thermarest (or similar). You'll never sleep better than you do in one of these odd contraptions, which packs into a very small volume! A MSR stove (I've got three!), just in case you can't make a fire! A big polytarp, and some nice rope, to make a sun shade, wind breaker, rain roof, et cetera, as needed! Our toilet seat (a motorbike accident 1990 makes me even less nimble than I was before, so with a left leg that once was in a few hundred pieces I am not very good at defecating 'au naturel', so I need support! See http://foldingkayaks.org/gallery/Boeing-ized-outrigger/Toilet ). A small, four-legged, folding chair with a good backrest is a blessing for a sore back ...
