Best Camping Flashlight- There are so many flashlights out there that claim to be the best flashlight, but which one truly is? Best Camping Gear Reviews has teamed up with our sister site, Police Equipment Reviews to try and answer that question. We brought our police equipment site into this blog because who uses flashlights more than police officers? They destroy their flashlights so if one can withstand the daily use by a police officer, then it can sure hold up as camping gear!
Streamlight flashlights are one of the best police flashlights. They make some really cool rechargeable and LED flashlights that come in a variety of sizes. With regards to camping, it would be a good idea to get a Streamlight flashlight similar to the Streamlight UltraStinger. This is a great flashlight that has a super bright light. The only downfall to this flashlight is that it can only last for about 2 hours of continuous run time.
With that in mind, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pick up either a MagLite flashlight or Coleman flashlight as a backup. These are very cheap flashlights that operate with batteries. While their light power might not be as good as a Streamlight flashlight, you have the insurance of a battery operated flashlight. If it runs out simply put in new batteries.
As we said before, there are many flashlights that will work well as part of your camping gear. Just remember that you pay for what you get. So if you find a dirt cheap rechargeable flashlight it probably won’t be that good.
The Streamlight flashlights and MagLite flashlights can found at all police equipment stores and some camping gear stores. The Coleman flashlights can be found at most major sporting good stores and camping gear stores.

Hunting Knives, Camping Knives, Buck Knives
One of the most important pieces of camping gear is the knife. While a knife may not be on the top your essential camping equipment list, it should be. Best Camping Gear Reviews has provided you with three reasons why you should carry a good knife and three of the best knives in our opinion.
Why should you carry a knife while camping?
1) Protection- Some of the most beautiful campgrounds are in the backcountries. If you are out taking a hike and wonder upon a wild animal or snake, you are able to use the knife to protect you. We all of seen the survival shows on television and the hosts always have a good knife.
2) Cutting- Whether it is cutting food or cutting up branches to keep you warm, a knife is the easiest thing to cut with.
3) Digging- You never know when you are going to have to dig a small area so having a sharp pointed knife will make the digging easier.
What knife manufacturers are the best to carry while camping?
1) Kershaw knives- Kershaw knives are very good. Not only do a lot of campers own these, but Police Officers use them as a part of their police equipment. Kershaw knives are inexpensive and get the job done.
2) Buck Knives- Perhaps one of the best known knives manufactures is Buck Knives. Buck Knives has been making hunting knives, pocket knives, camping knives for quite some time. They build a very high quality knife that is meant to last a long time.
3) Benchmade Knives- Benchmade knives are very good. There are both straight and folding knives made by Benchmade.
There are many options when it comes to knives. Some campers like to have a straight knife while some like a folding knife. It is all up to you but Best Camping Gear Reviews highly recommends that you buy yourself a good knife to put in with your camping gear.
A good knife can be found at your local camping gear stores or police equipment stores.
