Invest in a propane stove . They aren't expensive, and make breakfast a lot easier. You can cook over the campfire when you are not in a hurry. Also, the propane stove is a good backup at home when the power goes out. Air mattresses under your sleeping bags make it a lot more comfortable.
Some people prefer cots.
Buy sleeping bags that fit your climate. The colder it gets in the evening, the more money you will have to pay to keep warm. A few folding chairs make sitting around much more enjoyable. Be sure and bring a day pack for hiking. An inexpensive tarp will provide shade and make eating more enjoyable.
