Can you put fizzy water in it?

innerSpaceman · 03-29-2009, 08:49 PM

yes, but the fizz won't last as long as the cold.

oh, and haha, um, typo ... the water isn't "insulted" ... it's insulated. If the water were insulted, it would likely get hot, not cold.

Our faves are:

Coleman Road Trip Grill
Roll-up Tables
EZ-Up
Air Mattress with elevated portable pop-open frame
Camelback*

*I highly suggest freezing it - it will melt as you go, and also keep you nice and cool. My small one takes 5-6 hours to completely melt, so it's perfect.

Gaffer Tape. Pink. 100 metres.

For camping use, freezing is not usually an option ... and, as you see from the post above, has its drawbacks.

Filling it with about half ice, half water does quite nicely for warm weather adventures.

A nice dutch oven...or two (the camping models with the tall legs and rimmed lid). With a little know-how (and time) you can make some incredible meals (and desserts) very easily.

I picked up some brandy snifters at Ikea, I think they will make for wonderful camping accessories.

My vital accessory:

Camping companions who try to recreate a weekend at an all-inclusive resort on pine needles.

Then I can:

1. Mooch whatever strikes my fancy.
2. Feel superior about the fact that I am probably going sleep on the ground under my car, eat and drink everything out of one plastic cup for four days, and experience what camping really should be.

Otherwise, the only thing I've truly found I can't get by without is a semi-decent camp chair. Sitting on the ground or a picnic table bench for hours at a time just doesn't fly. Everything else I've done without at some point.

Au contraire. Camping without the brandy snifters would be unbearably vulgar.

My CPAP machine and generator to run it all night.
