Best Camping Gadgets

[Dusty Driftwood]

I have gotten years of use out of my nested dishes.
Compact size to pack in and tons of uses. Although, a raccoon (or something) made off with my smaller pot a couple years back. There was just a bit of soup left over at the end of the meal and it was really late and I didn't feel like doing dishes. I put it on top of the vehicle, but it didn't stop him. Live and learn...

There are some great ideas here.

My wife bought me this grill a couple of years ago for my birthday. It is probably the best camping grill I've ever owned and I would even put it up against some backyard grills as far a build quality and how well it cooks. I have the 3000 model (in Broncos orange, of course :biggrin2 but the 1000 is smaller if you want something more portable. I have the optional stand and bag for it. It is great for tail gaiting, too.

When my friend told me about the Selk sleeping bag, I almost didn't believe him. "A sleeping bag that you wear like a suit???" Yes, and it is bad a$$. For those who don't like feeling constricted in a mummy bag, this is perfect. It even has vinyl feet so you can walk around camp in it. Due to it's design, it's obviously not rated for super low temps. Although I have car camped in it in the Rockies in April wearing thermals as a base layer. It's surprisingly warm and comfortable.

That is awesome, genius and hilarious. And it's $100. On my wish list now. Thanks!

And the best part is that it's actually well made and practical. The worst part of getting out of a traditional sleeping bag in the middle of the night to take a leak, or first thing in the morning when you wake up, is that is sucks being cold getting out of your bag. Not to worry if you're rock'n the Selk bag!

You'll definitely be the talk of any camping trip with your friends. It's amazing how my questions and comments I get about it.

Exactly - and I used to always just walk around in my sleeping bag too. This is perfect, I'm definitely getting one.

A folding camp rocking chair you say? yep.

An unbreakable silicone cup? with a travel lid?? oh boy.
If anyone happens to run across some goofy drunkard sitting in a luxurious rocking chair by a raging campfire in a Selka sleeping bag suit, taking pulls from a grown ups version of a baby bottle, that will be me.

Needed to bump this to the front page again. Anyone got any cool little gadgets new for this year? I stumbled across these and thought I might pick a pair up- toss one in the bottom of your sleeping bag on an unexpected chilly night, then boil some water the next morning to recharge;

I'm sorry, but I can't buy a bumper from a guy that drinks from a sippy cup.

Ok, how small does that pack up?

haha well you are in luck, because Mtn.Runner makes the bumpers, not me. Although at my current maturity level, my friends agree- a sippy cup may be the safest way to go. I break my mason jars on almost a weekly basis

Sub'd, damn there is some cool stuff here!

List

I have made a list of stuff that i would be needing soon,keep them coming guys this is really cool.:tea:

 

[G.I.G.]

It has a stuff sack that it easily fits in. It packs down to the size of an average mummy bag.

 

[KidVermicious]

Very cool, I think I'll get my wife one.

 

[theizzardking]

bought a new tent, thing is a beast, had it out a few times now and it kills, sooo much room, stands up to the wind like you wouldn't believe and has a second section to put either the bed or the dogs to keep the separated and clean..teh best part is the second room flods back onto the tent if it's not needed or the site has space requirements/limitations.

has full size semi-stand up vestibule
