What are your favourite bits of camping gear ?

Hi Willie

My favorites are:

Camp fire chair for relaxing around the campfire and taking it all in

Laptop navigation system so I can follow in the footsteps of early explorers and log prominent features

Fridge for keeping the missus happy and the shandies cold

cheers

Phil

- My One Planet down sleeping bag!

Willie

I might have to feed that info in my electronic abacus to come up with a result :-)

My favourite camping gear is a full load of diesel to take me places far away from the Madding Crowd




Cheers

Hi Willie,
My Camp Chair, And my ExplorOz Stubbie holder with a Coldie sat in it. :)
The beauty of these two pieces of camping equipment is, you don't have to be camping to enjoy them.
It doesn't get any better than that.

Big Coleman 3-burner gas stove (better than our stove at home!)

Versalite flouro

10cm self-inflating mattress

G'day Willie,

My favourite bit of camping gear is my fishing rod. That is closely followed by the tinnie. If these items are superfluous then I must be in the wrong spot!

The bride would be offended by the thought that she came in third but she always said I shouldn't give on things important to me.

Kind regards

My Versalite flouro, my cheap Jaycar 12v shower, my spear for hanging the billies, camp oven, etc over the fire.
Didn't count the fridge, as that's just another camping whitegood.
S'pose I should mention the solar panels, for giving total peace and quiet.
Gerry

Gidday,

have to be the camp oven and jaffle iron (the girls would say - "Marshmallows for toasting!!!)

Cheers

The Rambo Hi Pressure Wok Burner - http://www.beconcatering.com/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=277

We just love the versatility of this very powerful burner - we can BBQ, simmer, cook a roast in the camp oven (put heat beads on top of the camp oven). Very handy when it is windy and you want to boil your pasta! Takes just 2 minutes to boil a kettle.

Willie - I reckon the Glind shower rates fairly high for me. That clean and refreshed feeling at the end of the day is damn good. Certainly keeps the rest of the family happy too.

The Trailblaza's a favourite as well since it ensures we can be fed and watered well irrespective of where we are.

That's just two of many.

Cheers from the Moose

For me:

(1) 12 V fluoro light - easy to use, value for money, works well as a flood light when above head height. Light is attached to an extendable metal tent pole. This pole has a spike welded on the end, and also plate to hammer said pole into the sometimes very hard ground.

(2) 12 V shower/pump/rose thingy - a shower every second day, whenever water is available, transforms a good bush trip into a trip of luxury, all for the price of 2 L of water per person.

(3) Metal camp table - can put all sorts of nasties & hot things straight from the fire onto it with no ill effect. It is a good work height and nearly indestructible. (Although it did collapse one day when I was using it as a tyre work bench in 40 degree heat. In that circumstance I had 3 tyres to mend; the flies were truly awful, and my back was killing me when bending over to work on the ground. )

(4) Camp oven - self explanatory to anyone who has used one regularly.

Cheers - I'm off on another odyssey on Good Friday; this time to the savannah lands of the N.T !

Apart from the gear pictured below.
Our camp cooker made from an old 9kg gas bottle.
The camp oven used in said cooker which doubles as a fire place.
And of course the Engel for the liquid of life.

Oztent RV4
DMH self inflating mattresses 100mm
Narva led inspection light x2
Camp oven
Evakool 85 ltr esky

Hi All

*My out door recliner.
*My Engel Fridge.
*Never ending supply of Beer.
Nah I need the Cook also, ok I'm Greedy lol lol.

Cheers

The Hi Lift jack it ain't. The s... shovel places fairly high (certainly well used).

The camp oven is versatile and can be used to cook almost anything from bread, to roasts, to grilled steaks, stews etc.

As long as I know where the headlight is I am laughing. Don't need fluoros when you have head lights.

But ultimately its the old swag that I associate most with camping. Its been everywhere, and guarantees me the best night's sleep I ever get.

my hunting gear
good tucker, bottle or 2 or 3 or more reds (not neccessarilly in 1 night) and a good camp fire

1. ARB simpson 2 roof top tent
2. fridge
3. $20 bunnings camp chair with padding that keeps the bum warm for those freezing winter nights next to the fire.

Cobb Cooker ---

80 litre wacco fridge freezer ( need lots of ice for the bourbon and coke)

Camp chairs - little pricey at $80 each -- but damn commfy :)

I feel as if I am running the risk of being type cast here but I have said it before and I will say it again.

My favourite bit of camping gear is.......toilet paper. I have tried all the alternatives and believe me there is nothing like the real thing. As has been said of other things like stubby holders and chairs, I don't have to be camping to appreciate it either. :-))))

Duncs

Has to be the portable toilet chair hay,managed to sew a stubby holder on the side of it pretty good i reckon.cheer's GREENDOG

my fave bit of gear is a couple of $12 kmart wire basket things that I can get a couple of decent size steaks (or slab of fish etc) in each. Just right for the four of us. If the fire goes down or blows up a bit you don't have to bugger around with the fire too much - just move the baskets. Far easier to use than some of these old/trendy iron bush bbq things (I don't mean the camp oven - that's irreplaceable)

Willie,

Nice bottle of red around a camp fire with a few mates. ;)

Seriously though a tarp off the side of the car, shadecloth groundsheet, swag on stretcher. See the photo in my profile.

There's a few things. My LED Headlight, the DRIFTA kitchen and my two Dual Fuel lamps.

My wife....

Andrew

-Our trusty old camp chairs

-Our trusty old enamel kettle (which everyone seems to use, rather than boil their billy)

-Our selection of new & not so new stubby holders, come beer o'clock time

My choice would really have to be the 12/240 Volt electrical system and fridge/freezer
