I hear ya on the gear. I have enough to outfit a small Marine unit. :mrgreen:

I'm up to 4 tents, 5 if you count my tarp tent I use the most.
3 backapcks.
Couple of stoves, 3 lanterns, half a dozen canteens, and the list goes on and on.

I have gear for backpacking to car camping from a day to a month.

My biggest problem right now is paring down the list for boat camping.
My boat camping list goes like this.
Dining fly - actually its a 10'x20' portable carport.
Tent- been using a 11'x11' with awning lately when the dogs go, no dogs no tent. I sleep under the dining fly.
Camp Chair,
Cot with self inflator mattress and sleeping bag with down pillow.
Firewood,
the "kitchen",
Cooler,
Dry goods container.
Takes about 2hrs to set-up and an hour to tear down.

the gerbers/leatherman tools are in every vehicle I own, great to have also https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001JQ5YJ6/ref=asc_df_B001JQ5YJ62008401?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B001JQ5YJ6&hvpos=1o1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13790715091639922901&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt= I've aquired a few of these over the last 12 years and always have on in the truck, boat and quad
 
This would be my most important piece of camping equipment, I can leave a lot of items behind but if I forget this my trip would be ruined.

Anyone know what it is, or use one?

Oh yes I do.
I have one I made from a 9" pie tin.
Been known to bake everything from muffins to brownies, hmm, hmm, good.

Nice piece of gear. =D>

I just watched the video on this gadget.....got to have one....I bet it makes killer omelets.
 
It looks cool I admit...but my biggest problem with it is the melted plastic you ingest when you cook in it. You have to be heating that bag up enough to get something off of it....it may cook well but I am not so sure I like the bag thing. :?
 
i can honestly say i've never not been able to make a fire even in deep snow.my boat camping gear is a stove , folding cot, speeping bag, tarp, and a 15" cast iron frypan ive had for at least 25 years.

Me either... :mrgreen:
 
me either. :mrgreen:

I gave up the cotton balls for something more durable and more productive.
Fiber egg cartons filled with wood chips (not sawdust, too compact) and covered in wax. Break off a egg crate and put a match to it. Burns similar to a candle, just hotter and a bigger flame. It replaces the tinder, you still need kindling and up.

Yes, getting there is half the fun. Even with blisters.
I picked that blister up within the first 10 miles on the first day. Did the next 40+ miles in the next 4 days without any problems.

Blue tarp is my shelter for the week.

Steak on my backpack stove.

Yes there are better ways to start a fire, but none as light as cotton balls!! When I'm hiking I'm upset if I have 25lbs on my back fully loaded with water. That tarp is actually pretty heavy vs. new lightweight tents.

Sorry about the blister, stop wearing boots!! A pound on the feet is five in the pack :)
