A flashlight is such an important piece of camping gear. Even if you are planning on just a day trip to your local campground, make sure you take a flashlight with you. There are so many flashlights that are available it can be tough to decide on which one to buy.
Some of the best police flashlights are also some of the best camping flashlights. The reason is because police flashlights are designed to be rugged and durable, two key features that you need in a camping flashlight. While the most common flashlights are Streamlight flashlights, SureFire flashlights, and MagLite flashlights, Coleman flashlights are good also.
Coleman makes a few different styles of flashlights. They offer widebeam flashlights, LED flashlights, marine flashlights, and general purpose flashlights. All of the Coleman flashlights have some nice features and are built within the strict guidelines of Coleman. Coleman flashlights are a lot cheaper than the Streamlight flashlights and SureFire flashlights.
So the next time you are in the market take a look at the Coleman flashlights. They are available at most camping gear stores and some police gear stores.

Cheap Camping Gear
Best Camping Gear Reviews understands that during these tough times it can be hard to buy new camping gear. In this blog, we have put together some of our favorite pieces of cheap camping gear.
It is always important that you have a flashlight as part of your camping equipment. While Streamlight flashlights and Surefire flashlights are some of best flashlights, they are also expensive. MagLite flashlights are very good with a lot smaller price tag. The original MagLite 4-D cell flashlight is a good alternative to a flashlight like the Streamlight UltraStinger. The MagLite 4-D cell flashlight provides a good beam of light and only costs about $24.00.
Best Camping Gear Reviews has just been given a pair of Glo Glovs. These gloves are great for hiking. They have a nice textured grip on them and have some reflective material stitched on them. They can be seen from a long ways away which is great should you not have your Garmin GPS with you and get lost. Glo Glovs has two models, a traffic control model for police gear, and a sport model. Glo Glovs cost about $20.00.
As most campers know, binoculars can be expensive. Brunton binoculars makes the Echo Waterproof binocular that is a decent binocular for a small price compared to the Nikon and Bushnell binoculars. The Brunton Echo Waterproof binoculars cost about $48.00.
On a side note, Best Camping Gear Reviews is getting ready to change the design of our website. Seeing that we don’t know all the ins and outs of the web design business we have been doing some research on cheap web hosting companies. We have found some companies like BlueHost web hosting and HostMonster web hosting that offer some of the best PHP web hosting according to them. If you have had any feedback on those companies or if you know of the best MySQL web hosting company please let us know. Thanks!

Marmot sleeping bags
One of the most important pieces of camping gear is the sleeping bag. A poor quality sleeping bag can make your nice miserable. Best Camping Gear Reviews has had the opportunity lately to try two different Marmot sleeping bags. We tried the Marmot Helium sleeping bag and the Marmot Atom sleeping bag.
The Marmot Helium sleeping bag is a super versatile, three season sleeping bag with a rating of +15 degrees. The Helium sleeping bag is filled with Ultralight 850 fill goose down and has a nylon shell that is treated with a durable water repellent. The sleeping bag also features a face muff with hood, and a down insulated draft tube.
The Marmot Atom sleeping bag is one of the lightest sleeping bags available to campers. This is a perfect sleeping bag for a quick trip to one of your favorite campgrounds. Since it is so light, you can easily pack it among your other camping equipment. The Atom sleeping bag has a water repellent nylon shell, is filled with 850 fill goose down, and has a classic trapezoidal foot box.
Both of the Marmot sleeping bags that Best Camping Gear Reviews tested were great. The Marmot Helium sleeping bag costs about $375.00 and the Marmot Atom sleeping bag costs about $225.00. Both can be found at large camping gear stores such as Cabelas, REI, Bass Pro Shops, or Sports Authority.

Garmin Oregon GPS devices
As we start 2009, new camping gear is being introduced almost daily. Camping equipment manufactures are always pushing the technology limits and coming up with better camping gear. The other day I was at one of my local camping gear stores and saw the new Garmin GPS devices. The Oregon Series by Garmin has some great features.
The Garmin Oregon 200 GPS is a little over 4” tall and 2” wide. It features a 3” 65k TFT touch screen display, 400 x 200 pixel output, and a USB cable for easy downloads. The Oregon 200 is a rugged, touch screen, reliable GPS device. With new programs installed on the device, this is a very user friendly handheld GPS device. The Garmin Oregon 200 GPS costs about $450.00.
The Garmin Oregon 300 GPS handheld device features all the same features of the Oregon 200 but has 384 mb of internal memory, the capability to produce 3-D maps, and a barometric altimeter that monitors weather conditions. The Garmin Oregon 300 GPS device costs about $500.00.
The Garmin Oregon 400T GPS device has the same features of the Oregon 300 with much more! The Oregon 400T has a 400 x 240 pixel output, preloaded topographical map database and a barometric altimeter with an electronic compass.
All of the Garmin GPS devices can be purchased at your local camping equipment stores such as Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, and Sports Authority.
