Luggage And Bags: Watch out for the customs,they like to get money off foreighners,when you land just sit in your seat as the rest of the pakistanis tend to p8ush and rush off the plane,avoid taking anything electrical as they make up rules and fines if they see them,cameras etc are ok,but you will see others trying to get microwaves through customs!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: unless travelli in the moutains then buy all your stuff in the countr you can hav e your own made to mesure shalwar kameez knocked up in a couple of hours for a few quid and there are clothing stores/shoes etc all over the place very very cheapwomen have respect and cover your legs/no alcohol to be taken in.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: staick to 'nestle still life' mineral water,dont bother with your western mosquito spray they dont work,buy 'mospell' a local oil available at all chemists for a few rupees. all medication thats available in the west is on sale at a very reduced rate in the chemists so uy when you get there.
Photo Equipment: againphotgraphs are a big prt of pakistani fe and you wil see labs all over the placewho for a few rupees will develop within the hour also others will enlarge and hand touch your prints giving you a perfect compction and colour out al your rey bits again ,pennies.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Camping? why when a hotel is a couple of pounds a day
