Lantern- The Luci is nice... but it's good to have light that's not dependent on solar, especially if you're camping where there's a lot of tree cover. Might not be a problem for a weekend. Another thing is that most LED lanters put out a harsh white light; there's a version of the Luci that's "warm white" which I haven't seen yet. I prefer much warmer light when relaxing in the evening, candles or propane lantern on low.

Kettle/pot - does this include stove? I've got a Jetboil and love it for car camping and just having in the trunk for autumn/winter hikes. I don't bring it backpacking because I have lighter options for just boiling water. If you want to cook, you may want to consider a stove like the MSR Pocket Rocket 2.

https://adventuresinstoving.blogspot.com/2016/12/review-new-msr-pocket-rocket-2.html

You can buy some $15 anodized aluminum cooksets on Amazon. Haven't tried myself but I've heard good things. You can bring utensils from home if you want to save money... but when you start backpacking and eating freeze dried meals from the bag, a long handled spoon will be the most useful.

Power bank; I posted about power banks. Quickly- many people like Anker. A power bank will give you about 80% efficiency, so a 13000 mAh battery will give about 10400 mAh to your device. If you've got an iPhone 6 that's over 5 full charges from zero.

Dishwashing setup - well, depends on how much you're actually washing. If you're cooking with one pot and eating from the pot, you don't really need any dishwasing bins. If you're out with a dual-burner stove and have two frying pans, spatulas, mixing bowls, plates, utensils and mugs... then two bins will save a lot of water.

Shower - I use a solar shower now and then... they're cheap and work great when there's sun. Heating water for the shower uses a lot of fuel though... so I'd rather skip than take a cold one.

And some other things you might have missed:

Water: I usually bring two 5gal collapsible water jugs (which are annoyingly hard to carry when full but take up very little room in the car) if there's potable water. If not I'll bring a 6L bag and filter into that for camp water and 2L/3L for personal use. Some bring 5gal "office water cooler" jugs with pump, they well and you can find some grocery stores that sell full and accept empties (but you might need to buy the pump).

Garbage bags: I bring a couple of plastic shopping bags, a couple of gallon ziplocs and a few smaller sandwich bags. Picking up cig butts on the trail and vista points... I triple bag them so they don't smell up my pack.

Chairs: if you're car camping make sure to bring some camp chairs.

Toilet paper: never trust that there's going to be TP. You don't need to bring a full roll, I take a several feet (depending on how long I'll be out) and roll it up and stick in a snack size ziploc bag. Wipes/sanitizer are a good idea... you don't want to go from a public toilet to your hydration bladder and squeeze the bite valve to get water to wash your hands. You didn't mention any facilities... bring a trowel in case you have to dig a hole.

Of course things like a First Aid Kit, Map & Compass (would be a good time to get out and try orienteering), sunscreen/sun protection, whistle, duct tape, those are usually on every checklist.

Here is REI's camping checklist:

And their backpacking checklist:

https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/backpacking-checklist.html

I can understand your desire for a cot set up. I can tolerate sleeping on air mattresses and sometimes on pads, but sleeping on the somewhat portable camping cot I purchased is amazing. I like mine so much that I would much prefer it over sleeping on some of the mattresses I've slept on when travelling. It is just about as comfortable as my mattress at home, and my mattress is the most comfortable thing I can sleep in. When it is too hot to sleep (I'm extremely warm blooded) I would say that the cot is better than my mattress.

That said, I don't think I've seen any two person camp cot (the one's that aren't folding mattresses) that would work well for a couple that likes to cuddle for sleep. My biggest problem is that I get hot and bothered way before my long-time gf does, and our sleeping tempuratures just don't match up. If you're in one of those cots then both of you are going to gravitate to one pit in the fabric, for me I need some air space after a few hours (or else I'll sweat and she'll be drenched). This might not be a problem for you.

Also I want you to make sure you know the two person tent-cot you link to does have the cross-bar down the middle.

How large are you and your wife? Watch out for cots that don't fit your height. I'm 6 feet tall and I barely fit into a largish cot with a pillow and when I don't want to rest my heels on a metal cross bar at the ends of my cot.

My recommendation, if you and your gf are small enough, find a really large cot that is meant for a single person. Mine is the smaller version (dimensions: 75 x 25 x 17-Inch) from the one I just linked to, and I enjoy it. If you go that route you will be sleeping closely even if you don't want to, but I think it could easily fit two people my size (190 lbs and 6 feet) and a small child. I tried it for a nap with my gf, and we both sort of just fell into the same spot that our body weight makes on the cot.

Another thing to try is a large hammock. Then you'll really be sleeping closely; unless you have some sort of "bridge hammock". Those seem to be flatter and similar in some ways to camping cots.

Yeah, I haven't done any tarp camping at all, but there are plenty of pros and cons to consider. One thing to think about, if you just want to try tarp camping, you don't need a full blown awesome tarp from a cottage maker. You can get an 8x10 Urethane coated Equinox tarp from Amazon for like $50. Yes it has grommets instead of tie-outs, but that's not a big deal. The Kelty Noah 9x9 from Amazon is about $60, and has more tie-outs than you can shake a stick at.

You could also get a blue tarp from Home Depot for much cheaper, and just deal with the crinklyness and weight.

Hell, people have even made tarps out of 3mil plastic sheets and duct tape for prototyping and short term use. Not to say it'll last forever, but should be fine for a couple nights in mild to moderate weather and will be useful to see if tarp camping is right for you.

I used to think trekking poles were dumb, and now I don't hike without them. Completely a personal thing, but they help my legs hurt less, and they're useful for so many things on the trail that I'm more than happy to bear the weight/cost.

Good call on the HG; did you see that they have an option for overfill? You could get a Burrow 40 and add an ounce or two of down to get the temp rating down. Not sure how that affects the rating/pricing; best way would be to call or email them and ask. Like I said though, both companies and quilts are great choices; can't go wrong with either.

Hey mate,

As I said in your other thread, I personally have the NatureHike tent and have been nothing but impressed with it. The best way to decide about these things is always to have a look at reviews of the tents by people who know their stuff, and to look at youtube reviews of people who've used them a lot.

For the Alps Lynx, this video gives a nice overview of how it stands up to rain, and shows how much space there is inside once you're in it. A lot of people rate it really well on amazon too. The obvious disadvantages are the space and the weight. If weight and space aren't a major consideration to you, people seem to rate this well and if you have any issues with it getting customer service / returning will be much easier.

The Naturehike that I bought, I watched a fair few reviews / videos before I finally make the decision to buy it. I personally can't say what it would be like in the wind but this video shows how it stands up to fairly strong winds. This video is a pretty long 30 minute review showing how it's put up and talks about various aspects of the tent. Personally I think the tent is more than worth the money when you consider the advantages - those being the reduced weight & more space. However, it still can be considered a risk as you're getting it from China and classically the customer service is terrible and trying to return it if there were any issues could cause real headaches.

Personally, I think if they were both available from reputable US sellers there'd be no question about which you should get. You can get the more expensive grey tent from amazon (shipment and purchase fulfilled by amazon, so customer service is through amazon too), for slightly more expensive that you could get it on AliExpress -$111. This probably reflecting the peace of mind. The cheaper green and orange ones you can also get there but they're even more expensive for some reason.

All this being said, however, I bought the tent as a risk, and it was a risk I was willing to take. If it turned out to be a dud it wasn't going to be the end of the world (I have a few other tents but the Naturehike was better in terms of advertised specs so I just went for it). If this is going to be your one and only tent, and you don't have the money to consider the risk (and so be stuck with a defective product / have to go through the motions of returning before you can get yourself a new one), my advice would be get the more reliable Alps for now. What you lose in lightness and space, you gain in peace of mind that the product will function well for what you want it to do. It'll serve you well for at least a few years, by which point you might think about upgrading and will be able to spend a bit more on a tent.

I know how agonizing these sorts of decisions can be. Just make sure you make the right decision for you right now - no one here wants you to get a piece of kit you're gonna be unhappy with and so will stop you from enjoying the outdoors as much as you can. Let us know what you end up getting.

No experience with this exact model, but I have this Coleman tent and I absolutely love it. It's held up great for a few music festivals and car camping. It's a three person and fit two of us and our gear comfortably, so I would think a 5 person would be enough for you two and your smaller dogs! I'm very happy with the Coleman brand; everything I have from them has served me well.

Not that it matters but I'm in Tampa too. First piece of advice: unless you are headed somewhere else, don't camp until November or so.

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/CORE-Person-Instant-Cabin-Tent/dp/B00VFH1RQS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1496967275&sr=8-3&keywords=Core+tent

It has been great. Withstood storms and big wind. It is amazingly easy to set up and the price is right. This is for car camping only, BTW. It will fit 2 Queen air mattresses so it holds our family of 4 very comfortably. They have a size up too, if you want it. I have recommended to 2 others who have bought them and are happy.

Sounds like you took one step forward, two steps back.

I'd suggest car camping get your family into the outdoors.

Getting an 8 person pop up tent and an queen sized air mattress goes a long way toward comfort. Bring regular blankets and pillows and its basically a portable bedroom.

With a comfortable base camp, you can take day hikes and come back to comfort.

Eventually, build up to backpacking again. The difference between a car campground and a backcountry camp is night and day. If they appreciate the outdoors, they will appreciate the difference.

Just make sure you pick easy backpack routes to start out.

I'm relatively new to camping myself, but I picked up the 20 degree version of that bag (I got it while it was on sale for around $70 I think) and I can say I am very happy with it. Pretty light and compact given the price. I'm very comfortable in it, and I slept in it while it was 20 degrees outside and I wasn't cold at all (although I am a cold sleeper.)

Kinda late here, but I would say if you want to be able to control grind size on a budget you should get a manual grinder. Here is the one I have and it works great. If you need coffee for more than two people then it's a bit of a chore, but for a single cup it's perfect.

Ha. True.

While bleach is simple, cheap, and effective - I much prefer the Sawyer Squeeze filters.

The Sawyer Squeeze is about $40, but no taste, instant water, and long life are well worth it.

• https://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-SP131-PointOne-Squeeze/dp/B005EHPVQW
  
  ​
  
  I personally upgrade a few of these items, but the ones I recommend still work.
  
  I use a fancier titanium pot / spoon, compared to the cheaper steel / plastic options.
  
  I use lighter / stronger trekking poles because I have the budget.
  
  My stove is the MSR Pocket Rocket, just because it's been in my kit for a long time and hasn't needed replacement.
  
  Etc...

If you're willing to downsize to a 6 person (which, with only 2 people, really shouldn't be an issue), then I would check out the Eureka! Copper Canyon 6. I just picked it up on the suggestions of The Wire Cutter who rated it as the best tent for family and car camping.

It won't actually be utilized until next week, but I'm excited to try it out. Also got a couple of these cots to go in it, which are huge and will make it seem like walking into a hotel room with 2 twin beds.

I'm going to suggest something a bit more advanced than a traditional tent. Have you considered going with a flat-tarp and a bivy bag? It is certainly cheaper than a tent and significantly lighter. Take the following for example:

| Item | Weight (g) | Cost (AU$) | Notes |
|:-----------|:------------:|:------------:|:------------|
| Equinox Egret Tarp (8x10ft) | 766g| $49 | Will require either sticks or trekking pole to pitch
| SOL Escape Bivy | 156g (312g total) | $31 ($62 total) | This will actually work as a 10C sleeping bag. There is a bigger version to help accommodate a sleeping bag, if it's more appropriate. Obviously you'll each need one.
|Polycryo Groundsheet (6x8ft) | 104g | $10 | Cheap and lightweight waterproof floor.
|
| Total | 1026g (1184g)| $90 ($121) | Cheap and Light.

You will obviously need to do a little reading on how to pitch it. Here is an article to get you started. You'll probably find a better one if you google it.

Of course. So in general, if you anticipate that it will get down to 13 degrees at night, I would recommend a bag rated to at least 0 degrees. Temperature ratings are really survival ratings (in my experience). I have never been warm in a bag rated to the temperature it actually was outside.

Something like this is a good, affordable option.

Some great American brands

• Mountain Hardwear ($$$)
  
  
• Marmot ($$$)
  
  
• REI ($$
  
  
• Sierra Designs ($)
  
  
• Teton Sports ($)
  
  
  Some European brands that I know are good
  
  
• Quechua
  
  
• Mammut
  
  
• Montaine

I use these

They are NOT waterproof and are cheap for a reason, but I've been happy with them as a way to organize and save space.

The Scout is the latest of my many shelters and I really love it for my solo travels. It's lightweight, easy setup and just enough space for you and your gear. IMy only gripe is that the bathtub floor doesn't come up quite as high as I'd like. However, we had some heavy downpours my last 2 trips and not a drop of water got in. I used Seam Grip for seam sealing.

I got a Mountainsmith Genesee 4 for less than that, and it's 6 pounds. You can get one on Amazon for 134. I like the full cover fly; I went to an aircraft convention where we camped, and the tent I brought ripped and flooded and it was a disaster, spent a lot of time fixing it that I could have been seeing aeroplanes, and that's when I got this badboy, which I camped in, and it was pretty good. I would highly recommend a full tent rainfly, you can always open it up, but it's hard to water proof it more. Plus the mountainsmith you can open up if it's not going to be wet and you have mesh sides and can sleep under the stars.

Edit: Here's a link-
https://www.amazon.com/Mountainsmith-Genesee-4-Person-Tent/dp/B004QP6YSC

or if you really want one you can stand in, that's very cheap, that you're only going to bring not too far, Coleman isn't a bad option-
https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000007828-Sundome-3-Person-Tent/dp/B004J2KDHK/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t

Edit 2- Actually the Coleman is only 8 pounds which is not too bad. The one you have is a behemoth it looks like. Then again you may need a 6 person tent, I don't know.

• Headlight
  
• Lightweight titanium forks or sporks

  I bought a lightweight cooking set from Amazon this summer that works well. Interesting enough the wooden spoon looking thing turned out to be the most useful eating utensil I have used. It was also good for cleaning the pots without scratching, stirring and eating from those freeze dried packages to get the last morsel out.

I've tried a hawk, it's not a great tool for wood chopping if you don't plan on throwing it I highly recommend just getting a hatchet. I use one like this, it's light and damn near indestructible - plus it works amazing for processing wood. I'd highly recommend it over any tomahawk.

TETON Sports TrailHead 20F Ultralight Sleeping Bag Perfect for Backpacking, Hiking, and Camping, Orange/Grey https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JTLKCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4BdZxb6K66X1V

I love this sleeping bag. If I didn't get a good deal on a kelty cosmic 20, I would still be using it.

I see, good point about being able to leave it unattended. Of course if your bag was the same size (or nearly) as the bottle you could just let the bag run out.

this is the kit I got



Though it came with 2 64 and a 16 ounce bag, a nice mix. It has the blue nipple though not the gray one. Also some tubing

Though it does come with a cleaning coupling which is nice

Good stuff

I use an aeropress every day at home and until recently had a little portable mesh drip thing I could clip on top of my coffee mug and make myself a pour-over.

Now I use the french press adapter for my jetboil and it works great.

Just buy some polycro film, like used to cover windows in winter.

$3

One sheet will last you a few years... oh yes it will. Backpackers have been using it for decades

Or if you want heavier, a tarp from Harbor Freight

Minimo is strictly an Integrated stove. But the pot is wider, making it easier to eat from. You can, however, get a "Grande" Coffee press to fit in the pot.

https://www.amazon.com/Jetboil-COF075-Coffee-Press-Accessory/dp/B000NM8O8U

To cook on a pan, you can get a cheap, lightweight standalone canister stove such as Etekcity to go with a canister stove.

I take this everywhere - Aerobie Aeropress. It's not super light however it makes fantastic coffee. In fact I use it at home as my coffee maker of preference.

I use this grinder - Hario Mini Mill Slim Grinder - again, it weighs ~250 g and it just does it's job well.

Edit:

I weighed my grinder including handle - ~250g (+/- 5g accuracy on the scale).

I also weight my Aeropress including the stainless steel S-Filter - ~250g (+/- 5g)

> Edit: found a collapsible one from gsi

I have this, works well...put it on top of a nalgene, load it with the correct amount of coffee, and you get a pretty decent amount of coffee, but you have to stay there an pour it over (no big deal).

Tip: allow the coffee to "bloom" by pouring enough water in to wet the dry coffee, then stop...once the coffee is wet, continue pouring the full amount of water.

I've been using a Fiskars hatchet for going on 6 years now, I even use it to process smaller firewood at home. Great piece of kit and dirt cheap. Highly recommended.

Edit: i know that is for a coleman but mayne it would work? If you still have the manual that came with the stove it should have the part number for it or if you have the busted regulator check it for a number. In the future I would try to steer clear of anything ozark trails that has moving parts as it tends to be crap. Their cups, lanterns, packs, etc. tend to do alright

I was looking for footprint for my tent about a month ago and searched for different options. Finally end up getting this from Amazon. Cheap, packs tiny, lightweight and does the work. I already see another redditor recommending this here but adding the link to make it easier.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NHW2Z6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Jetboil has a French press adapter for the top of the pot. Saves you some space on hauling around an Aeropress. Not that they're that big, but it looks like the French press would be smaller.

Jetboil Coffee Press Accessory https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NM8O8U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4JCGzbFYFFR0J

This is what I'm using now, but I don't use anything except the pot. I should have got something like this. It's more expensive but it's lighter and doesn't come with anything unnecessary. They both have stuff sacks.

I got this cot for Christmas, and it is WAY more beefy than I had anticipated. I guess I should've paid closer attention to the pic of the 7 guys standing on it, 'cause it is a beast. There's room for me (6'1 220lbs) and my dog (90lbs), and I imagine it'd work for 2 people cuddling up, but definitely not 2 people side-by-side.

same ones on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AZNATC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Cheap, but they've worked very well for me.

Looks pretty similar to the Coleman regulator

Kelty Redwing 44 or 50 is a really popular traveling pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009R6B7EG/ref=twister_dp_update?_encoding=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

I bought a pot like this: https://www.amazon.com/Camping-Equipment-Wuudi-Outdoor-Cookware/dp/B010X507KY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=camping+pot&qid=1564407512&s=gateway&sr=8-3

and then I went to Value Village (thrift store) and found the lightest aluminum pan I could find, and then cut off the handle.

There are tons available on Amazon. I have one similar to this Camping Kit that has worked well for me. I use toaks now for boiling water.
The taller mug shapes are because many just boil water now instead of cooking in the pot. For cooking in the pan I use the MSR aluminum pan with removable handle.

I was dead-set on a JetBoil MiniMo. Walked into REI with a more experienced buddy and we put this setup together...its smaller and lighter than a mini-mo and way more flexible for the future:

Nature Hike Cloudup 2. Get the white/grey rainfly version as it is lighter. If you leave the footprint and bags behind it weighs about 6-8 ounces more than the Big Agnes Flycreek UL 2. It is a flycreek knock off. You can find it on Amazon, ebay, and aliexpress.

I bring my pour over. You can look up a lot of different techniques on how to make it but it's mostly bs.

Just boil water, put your grounds in a paper filter inside the pour over funnel thing, set that on top of a cup. Once the water boils pour just enough to wet the grounds. Wait till you see the bubbling / expansion stop, then pour water slowly until you have enough coffee.

Very minimal setup, not sure why more people don't do it.

Edit: found a collapsible one from gsi

I use a Hario grinder:

If you are really lazy you can remove the handle and chuck the shaft into a cordless drill and voila you have a motorized grinder!

Coleman Sundome? (3 person)

EDIT: Nvm, mine is the older version which had zip up windows and a rain fly. Sorry OP :(

Note: it's the black color only. I can confirm that it IS the 2016 version (and not the previous model which usually sells in that ~$85 range).

So, story is, I bought this pack three days ago for $140. On the day it was set to arrive, I logged into Amazon to check up on the order, only to see that after I ordered it, Amazon started providing it for $83.99. I called and asked if they could refund me the difference... and they said no, I'd have to refuse the package and re-order. Which is silly, but whatever. So I had to race home to beat the UPS driver and refuse the package. Worth it though, that's a $60 savings.

NOTE THAT THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THE REDWING 50 ON AMAZON. This is the pre-2016 model: https://www.amazon.com/Kelty-Redwing-Backpack-Medium-Large/dp/B009R6B7EG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1502993250&sr=8-4&keywords=kelty%2Bredwing%2B50&th=1&psc=1

Note that the price there begins at $88.47.

I'm thinking someone at Amazon probably screwed up and are listing the 2016 version for the pre-2016 model prices, so this might not last long. But I did receive the pack yesterday and can confirm it is the 2016 model.

Picked up two sets for dirt cheap. Yellow bag #1 tent w/ air mat left inside. Yellow bag #2 clothes. Red bag #1-2 food. Blue bag #1 needful things and hygiene. Blue bag #2 is trash items. Between those, the only thing I have loose in my pack is cookset and my water filter, both are kept in the pouches they came in. It makes unpacking at camp a breeze.
