Favorite Camping Item
« on: December 01, 2015, 11:37:07 PM »
I decided to start a thread to give people an opportunity to share their favorite camping item.  You know, that thing you love, that makes camping more fun and enjoyable.  That thing you wouldn't go camping without?  Links and pictures are awesome!  ;D

I'll go first.  My favorite camping item is my headlamp!  I didn't think I'd like it or use it much - but Holy Wah!  Where were these when I was a kid!!

"Hands free" takes on a whole new meaning when doing all kinds of camping type things..... 

Just remember to turn it off or put it on the red setting when with a group of people   ::) ::)

Currently - I'm digging this model because it's rechargeable.  But I also have and like this model as a backup.

What's your favorite "go to" camping item?!  ;)

I know this will sound cheesy, but I have long said my favorite camping item is the Xterra.  Having the space to bring everything and the ability to access just about anywhere is priceless.  Since the Xterra is probably a given, I will also give my second item... the camping bin.  I have an Action Packer that holds pretty much all of the essentials.  This means everything is ready to go when it is camping time.  I don't have to worry if I forgot something or not.  I also restock it after each trip so I know I have all the plates, silverware, etc that will be needed.

Geez this is a hard one for me for some reason :-\ Most everyone has one already but I really like my newly acquired camping chair, I never really used one previously.

The small pile of butt toasting coals under said chairs is a fine addition!
