The prompt
Help me plan a camping trip.
Where and type of site: [e.g. drive-in campground, backcountry, RV park - LOCATION]
Nights and dates: [DETAILS]
Group: [number of people, kids' ages, any first-time campers, pets]
Expected weather: [WHAT I KNOW - or "tell me what to check"]
Gear I already own: [LIST]
Cooking setup: [camp stove / campfire allowed? / no-cook]
Experience level: [first time / some / experienced]
Give me:
1. A gear checklist grouped by: Shelter, Sleep, Kitchen, Clothing layers, Lighting, First aid, Tools, Hygiene. Mark items I can borrow or rent instead of buying.
2. A simple meal plan for each day with a shopping list and food storage tips, including wildlife-safe storage if there are bears or other animals in the area.
3. A setup routine on arrival: picking a flat, safe tent spot, away from dead branches and low ground.
4. Safety: checking fire restrictions, water treatment, weather alerts, telling someone our plans, and what to do in a thunderstorm.
5. Leave-no-trace basics.
6. Fun ideas for evenings, especially for kids.
Tell me to confirm reservation rules, fire bans, and permit requirements with the park or land manager. Don't invent specific site rules.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
