A lot of people forget to pack a grill in their camping gear when they head off to the campground. They automatically assume that thier campsite will have a cooking grill. Well sometimes they don't have one or it is extremely dirty.
One of my favorite pieces of camping equipment is the Camp Chef grill. Best Camping Gear reviews has used and tested the Camp Chef Pro 90 cooking grill. The Camp Chef Pro 90 is a 3 burner camping grill. With three 30,000 BTU burners, this is the biggest camping grill that Camp Chef makes.
What we really liked about the grill was the size of it. It is almost the size of our large Igloo cooler! We had about 10 people at our campsite for the weekend and we always had plenty of room on the grill for everybody's food.
The Camp Chef Pro 90 camping grill is availble at most major camping gear stores like Bass Pro Shops or REI. The Camp Chef Pro 90 costs about $311.00.
Best Camping Gear Reviews highly recommends the Camp Chef grills.

Aerobed Air Mattresses
A lot of campers will say that you aren't truly camping if you have an mattress as part of your camping gear. Those are probably the same people that say put away your Kelty tent and sleep under the stars in your Slumberjack sleeping bag.
Well, I disagree! If I'm going camping, I'm going to have a little comfort also. Just last summer I purchased an Aero Products air mattress. Thier air mattresses are called the Aerobed air mattresses. I am very glad that I bought one of these to add to my collection of camping equipment.
The first night that I used it, I slept like a baby. The air mattress is durable, sturdy, and very comfortable. It sits about 9" off the ground and compacts very easily. The air mattress is also very easy to inflate and deflate.
I purchased my Aerobed air mattress at one of my local camping gear stores. I know that large camping equipment stores such as REI, Cabelas, and Sports Authority carry air mattresses also.
Have a great Holiday!

Camping gear for christmas gifts!
As we approach Christmas and start to scrabble for some last minute gifts, I decided to compile a list of my five favorite camping gear stocking stuffers. I want you to know that finding camping equipment small enough to fit into a stocking isn’t that easy!
1) Garmin GPS devices. Garmin is one of the biggest manufactures of GPS devices. These devices are great for campers because they are compact and provide easy directions to the campgrounds. Because some models are handheld, these are also great for taking on hikes. The Garmin GPS devices cost between $100.00 and $600.00.
2) Streamlight Stinger flashlight. Streamlight flashlights are highly regarded as the best flashlight in almost all camping gear reviews. The Stinger flashlight is a great compact rechargeable flashlight. The Stinger has 125 lumens and is about 6” long. The Streamlight Stinger flashlight costs about $75.00.
3) Casio Pathfinder hunting timer watch. This Casio watch features five alarms, digital display, and is backlit for easy reading. The Pathfinder watch is water resistant to 100 meters. The Casio Pathfinder watch costs about $49.99.
4) 5.11 Tactical Gear socks. While getting socks for Christmas might be the most exciting gift, they can sure safe your feet on hikes! 5.11 Tactical Gear started out making the socks for police officers since they are on their feet so much. Since then, they have become popular by just about everyone, including campers. They socks are constructed with multiple zones of compression and fabric blends for increased blood circulation, heat reduction, and moisture wicking. 5.11 Tactical Gear socks can be found at some camping gear stores and all police equipment stores. The 5.11 Tactical Gear socks cost between $9.99 and $19.99.
5) You can never go wrong with a gift card to your favorite camping gear store like REI or Cabelas. Gift cards allow the person to pick out their favorite camping equipment without the hassle of having to return a gift.
I hope this list gives you some more ideas for camping equipment stocking stuffers! Have a great holiday!

Streamlight flashlights
Flashlights are a very important piece of camping gear. There are many types of flashlights available and not all of them are good. Streamlight flashlights and MagLite flashlights are two of the best flashlights available to campers. While both brands of flashlights are known for making some of the best police flashlights, they are great for camping.
Streamlight flashlights offer many types of flashlights. They offer rechargeable and battery operated flashlights in many different sizes. If you are going camping to a campground that has no power to recharge the flashlight, then a battery operated flashlight is best for you. The prices of Streamlight flashlight vary from $15.00 to $125.00. No matter what price you pay it is worth it. Streamlight flashlights can be purchased at your local camping gear store or police equipment store.

Igloo Cube Top cooler
Recently I had to buy a new camping cooler so I went to the local camping equipment store and took a look at the coolers that they had in stock. They had a few brands that included Igloo coolers, Thermo coolers, and Coleman coolers. While the Coleman coolers have a long tradition of being some of the best camping coolers, I liked the Igloo Cube Top cooler the best.
The Igloo Cube Top cooler that I choose was the Max Cold 70 Roller. This cooler has features such as a triple snap drain plug, 5 day chill rating, and can hold about 101cans. The feature that I like the most about the Max Cold 70 cooler is the fact that it has wheels and a telescoping handle. This makes it so easy to move around the campground.
A lot of campers will tell you that a good cooler is a key part of camping gear. If you don't have a good cooler, you food gets spoiled and there goes your camping trip! Overall, I think this is one of the best camping coolers and definatley worth adding to your collection of camping equipment.
