I'm pretty basic with my camping gear, but that coffee pot of Kevy's was something I fell in LOVE with.

As for an air mattress, I'm going back to my thermarest pads. I was very happy to have them back in my test on Friday night..

We barely had anything and were pretty good. Right now, our purchasing goals consist of organizational items and replacements for less efficient stuff. So, Camelbak instead of water bottles, more comfortable/accessible camera bag that can double as a backpack, good storage boxes instead of plastic bags and cardboard, and of course a better tent. Beyond that, I don't see ourselves needing much more.

Well this is what I think I need, right now:

Tent
Sleeping Bag
Camelback
Walking shoes
chair
mess kit
reading light
first aid kit
cooler
food & drink

Less if we end up in a cabin

"mess kit" - my mess kit is a rubbermaid tub with my old pots & pans and some picnic plates and bowls in it. But if you wanna go for the all-in-one backpack version, I guess knock yourself out.

But yeah, pretty good, basic list.

Sponge and biodegradable (I believe that includes Dawn) dish soap is helpful too. Washing baked beans out of a pot with nothing more than water and a wadded up paper towel kinda sucks. I know.

Oooh! I believe DP mentioned this to me:

I LOVE my hammock (and will love it more when I get stronger carabiners). It came from Sierra Trading Post and was $44.00.

This is the one at Costco. I believe it is about the same price, just no shipping cost.

Oohhh... I just ran across this little gem: a camp OVEN!!!

Powered by propane, the Camp Chef portable camp oven and range lets you enjoy fresh baked goods from the comfort of your campsite.
  • With a top temperature of 400°F, the oven bakes muffins, cookies, casseroles and bread to perfection
  • Oven includes two racks and a removable oven thermometer
  • Two-burner range on top blasts a combined 10,600 BTUs, getting your cooking done in short order
  • Nonstick enamel cooking surface cleans up easily; fold-out sides block wind for efficient cooking
  • Matchless ignition lights oven and range easily
  • Folding lid and carry handles facilitate transport
  • Operates on a disposable 16.4 oz. propane canister, sold separately; can be adapted to use with a bulk propane tank (adapter and tank sold separately)

I'm going to write to my congressman and ask that he push through legislation requiring 2 Swank Camps per year.

This would apparently incite enough spending to ward off any potential recessions.
