Swank Camping Advice - Page 10

OMG, there's really a site called "campingcomfortably.com"??? Do they know about us?

I'm gonna want everything there.

I don't even camp-cook and I want the Kitchen Sink (I do alot of camp cleaning up because I don't camp cook). We lucked out with a "real" sink nearby this time ... but I've camped with a portable camp sink before and it's heavenly.

Damn you. Why'd you have to show me that site??

And, CJ - I always homestead when I camp.

Everybody has their line in the sand. I think I found Kevy's battery-powered Power Tools to cross the line of "camping," but as one wise swanker pointed out ... to each their own.

Personally, I think convenience items that are designed for outdoor and camping use to be hysterical. In that vein, I like a camp bed rather than a "real" bed brought out to the wilderness.

These camp kitchen set-ups crack me up ... but they are also very useful. And I think a fun element of Swank Camp is the luxuries we bring ... all the better if they are designed for the great outdoors or portability. I'm thinkin' NirvanaMan's portable Martini Bar. That was a hoot ... and oh-so-useful for swanking!

To some, these luxuries may seem like camping sacrilege ... and I can understand that point of view. But just as I enjoyed a combination of gourmet meals and weenie roast ... I love me some camp luxuries that make the roughing it less rough while providing a touch of humor and class.

Actually, I liked seeing what people brought in the context of paring down for camping - what luxury item do you bring? Of course I bond with NM over the cocktail equipment, but there was ISM's well furnished tent, Kevy's Queen size bed, or Brad's walking stick that lent character to each campsite.

Totally agreed. I guess my guitar counts as mine.

Hair dryer and curling iron.

I kid! It's ponytails all the way, baby.

I bring Thurston.

OMG those kitchens are unbelievable!

Trying to think what my luxury item is... I guess my Coleman couch, but I'm not sure if that counts since it became my bed when my other bed broke.
