Camping with cloth: What we are bringing

We are going camping tomorrow morning for the first time as a family and in our new to us trailer yay!! I've gone back and forth about whether or not to do cloth or disposables and I have decided that I feel more comfortable with cloth. I researched a lot on the best way and kept coming back to prefolds and covers. Ugh the dreaded prefold, my mom used prefolds with me when I was a baby. Prefolds and pins, she quit. She actually talked me out of cloth diapering my two eldest before we both knew how far cloth has come. But things are different now and more advanced. There are fancy covers and folds and snappis etc. I've heard that it might be easier to clean prefolds and covers by hand if I really need too. Also by leaving my pockets at home I can have clean diapers ready when I get home. Prefolds and covers are also considerably cheaper than disposables and cheaper than my pockets! Also since we bought the trailer and plan on camping all summer buying a set of "camping diapers" is not an insane idea. I was planning on doing a video for what we were bringing with us for our first "Camping with Cloth" trip but in all the excitement of packing and planning etc I have lost my voice so a video is a no-go. So I took some pictures and they are not the best but they will have to do.


This is everything packed up. Originally I thought the plastic bin would be big enough for it all but after I washed all the prefolds they fluffed up way too big to fit with all the little extras. I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't pleased to have a reason to bring my new Ju-Ju-Be Marvelous Mums BFF that the boys bought me for Mother's Day with me.

Inside my BFF I have

I had bought some other covers off a lady on Facebook but I can't remember the name of them right now and we were also planning on making a wash bucket but never had time for this trip. Maybe the covers will arrive for our next trip and we will have the bucket done. I watched a ton of youtube videos on folding and using prefolds so hopefully I remember some of it since we won't have internet access out in the bush haha!! Anyways I have stayed up waaaaay too long to get this post done and must get some rest before I have to get up in a few hours. Wish me luck!! Reviews on everything here and more upon our return. Let me know if you have any tips or questions.
