This is a picture of a guy I saw in Yosemite. I laughed at how much stuff he had. I may laugh at Kevy too - that is until I taste some warm, fresh baked cookies while sitting 'round a campfire.

I'm with you on that one Jack. I prefer to avoid even a simple camp stove when I'm camping (notice I did the sausages over the campfire), though fully appreciated the spectacular food we had.

Seriously, if you're bringing a stove, I may have to kill you

If you're camping and want warm, fresh baked cookies then a solar oven is the appropriate choice.

If god wanted you to eat warm, fresh baked cookies while camping at Sheep Creek he wouldn't have put so many tall trees there. Obviously, he wants you to eat warm, fresh baked cookies while camping at Death Valley.

It is a sin to violate gods will. It is obvious that the Camp Chef Portable Oven from REI is an abomination in g-d's eyes.

Public mojo for Alex. That is hilarious!

It's a sign of the rapture.

I appreciate having a stove, a tent, a good bag, a pad and a good light. We've been making coffee in French Press for a while now and that serves the 2 of us just fine as long as we have a stove to boil water.

Other than that....well, I'm going to need a bigger car if I get much more stuff. I already carry along way too much kitchen equipment.

After viewing our tent set-up, would you be surprised by this?

Capt Jack · 06-12-2008, 04:26 PM

well....no. and for you I can see where that might come in handy in your extended stays in the War tent of the Ages.

but for anything but waging war, I think it's....lets just say "a bit much"

Ooh, you'll (getting back to the OP) also need one of these:
