 | Coleman 2 Burner Dual Fuel Powerhouse Liquid Fuel Stove
Buy new: $129.99 dual fuel so if you run out of white gas you can use the unleaded from your tank.
|
 | Eureka Grasshopper Kids 30-Degree Sleeping Bag
Buy new: $24.99 Moosineer makes a great kids bag, but this is the closest I could find on Amazon. You'll need a nice warm bag to keep your kids comfy. It's miserable to camp cold, it's even more miserable to camp with cold kids.
|
 | Therm-a-Rest Trail Lite
Buy new: $49.95 - $69.95 short kids can use the short pads. Tall kids can use the short pads with their coats under their feet (so can grown-ups).
|
 | Eureka Tetragon 1610 16-Foot by 10-Foot Nine-Person Family Tent
Buy new: $219.99 / Used from: $189.99 This one is, clearly, too large for many families. And Eureka isn't exactly top of the line, but you get the idea. You'll need a tent. Pick one that's appropriate for YOUR family's needs (and make sure it includes a rainfly).
|
 | Fogo Rocket Rod Jet Cast Fishing Rod
Get a rod n' reel (I don't know about this brand). Pick what you're used to using - fly setup or spinner. My kids prefer spinner, though a stick and string with hook is just as entertaining.
|
 | Play and Freeze Mega Ice Cream Maker,Quart,Sage Green
Buy new: $34.95 This is great fun if you're car camping. (Too heavy for backpacking, particularly given the need for some ice, salt and dairy product.) Takes about 20 minutes of rolling to make some scrumptious ice cream in the back country, park or at home. (Anywhere the kids will roll it.)
|
 | CHAIR CAMP KIDS LAVENDER
Buy new: $13.45 Not for backpacking.
Take one for each kid - a chair their own size really helps 'em feel comfortable (and balance their dinner on their lap).
|
 | Rome #3100 Chrome-Plated Steel Marshmallow Roasting Sticks, Set of 2
Buy new: $9.45 Share one or buy a set. It's not camping if you don't make s'mores. (We use whittled wood on backpacking trips, but have a dedicated set of steel skewers for car camping.)
|
 | Slumberjack Standard Camp Pillow (Single)
Buy new: $12.48 / Used from: $10.99 Some people lay their coat sleeves neatly, fold the coat over the sleeves, reach inside and zip, then fold the bundle in half to make a pillow. That works for me, but my kids like to have a pillow. So do lots of other folks.
If you like at least a LITTLE pillow, don't forget to pack one!
