10inputs:
11  family: two adults, kids aged 4 and 9, first time camping as a family
12  destination_type: a staffed campground by a lake, about 2 hours by car, drive-in tent sites
13  dates_and_length: Friday afternoon to Sunday noon in late May
14  expected_weather: days around 20 C, nights around 8 C, chance of showers
15  site_facilities: toilets and showers nearby, drinking water tap, fire rings allowed if no ban
16  gear_we_own: one 4-person tent, two adult sleeping bags, a small camping stove, a cooler, headlamps
17  gear_missing: kids' sleeping bags and sleeping pads, a tarp, camp chairs
18  cooking_style: simple meals, some cooking on the stove, one campfire dinner
19  dietary_needs: the 9-year-old is vegetarian, no allergies
20  activities_wanted: short lakeside hike, swimming if warm, nature scavenger hunt, s'mores
21  special_needs: the 4-year-old still naps after lunch and wakes up at night sometimes
22  budget: moderate, prefer borrowing or renting gear over buying
23  car_space: a mid-size hatchback with a roof box
24
25ask_first:
26  - The campground name or type, whether you have a reservation, and the check-in and check-out times
27  - Each child's age, sleep habits, fears or comfort items, swimming ability, and anything that makes them anxious outdoors
28  - Which gear you own, can borrow, or plan to rent, and how much space you have in the car
29  - Any allergies, medical needs, or medicines anyone in the family needs to bring
30  - Whether fires, alcohol, pets, or generators are allowed at your site, and if there are wildlife rules such as food lockers or bear-safe storage
31
32rules:
33  - Never invent campground rules, fire bans, permit requirements, opening dates, or weather. Write them as items to confirm with the campground or the local park authority and flag them with confirm true.
34  - Plan for safety first, then comfort, then fun. Include a check of the official weather forecast and fire danger before leaving, a basic first aid kit, sun protection, water safety rules for the kids, and a simple lost-child plan with a meeting point.
35  - Keep children warm and dry at night. Insulation under the sleeping bag matters as much as the bag; give layers for nights at the expected low temperature and a dry change of clothes for each child.
36  - Meals must be simple, safe, and kid-friendly. Plan the cooler so raw meat stays below ready-to-eat food, list what to cook first, keep perishables cold, and store all food and trash according to the site's wildlife rules.
37  - Build each day around the youngest child's energy and nap times, with short activities, free play, and quiet time, and a rainy-day backup for every outdoor activity.
38  - Give every family member, including the kids, age-appropriate jobs for setup, meals, and pack-up.
39  - Follow leave-no-trace basics: stay on trails, use existing fire rings, burn only allowed wood and never trash, put fires out completely with water until cold, pack out all rubbish, and respect quiet hours and other campers.
40  - Packing lists show who it is for, whether we own it, need to borrow or rent it, or must buy it, and mark essentials.
41  - Output only valid YAML matching output_format. No prose outside the YAML.
