Best Camping Gear Reviews has to stay right off the get go that we are sorry for the delay in blogs. We have been so busy with some of our other niche sites that it has taken all of our time up. When Best Camping Gear Reviews started our website we got very interested in cheap web hosting. As a result we started a web hosting review site to help out other amatuers out there in finding the best web hosting. Then our wives thought it would be fun to do a website on the best day spas so....enough said on that!!! On to the real camping gear stuff!!!
There are many different types of camping grills out there so finding the best camping grill for you can be hard at times. Ultimately it comes down to what you need. In this Best Camping Gear Reviews article we are going to give you a brief overview of camping grills and who offers the best camping grills.
The first that thing that you need to decide when looking for an outdoor grill is how it is going to be powered. There are two main types of power for a camping grill: charcoal and propane. If you are going to run a charcoal grill you are going to need to carry with you charcoals to start the fire. Charcoal grills tend to be cheaper than propane grills. Propane grills are by far the most common. They tend to use small propane bottles that screw onto the grill. The time that the propane can last can vary depending on how many burners you are running and how many btu’s they put out.
After deciding how you are going to power your camping grill, you need to consider the size of it. If you are going to be stationary in a local camping ground, then you can probably take a larger camping stove with you. However, if you are hiking a few miles into the wilderness, weight is going to be an issue so you will probably want to purchase a smaller camping grill. The camping grills made today come in various sizes and even the smaller camping grills still pack a good punch! They come with side tables, folding legs, and are very lightweight.
Those are the two main concerns when shopping for the best camping grills. Picking out accessories like special grill covers can all be taken care of once you decide the first two choices. So who makes the best camping grills? Best Camping Gear Reviews highly recommends the Coleman grills. They come in a ton of different sizes and offer lots of features. The Camp Chef grills are nice but they tend to be a little bit larger than the Coleman grills. If you are just going to be doing some day camping, then the Camp Chef camping stoves are a good choice.

Discount camping gear
Best Camping Gear Reviews gets asked a lot about how to find discount camping gear or used camping gear. While both types of camp gear are similar because they are less than the more expensive camping gear, they are different topics. In today’s Best Camping Gear Reviews article, we are going to discuss ways that you can find discount camping gear.
We all know how expensive camping gear can be. Take a look at the Kelty camping tents. While they are one of the best camping tents, they are also on the high side of the price range. With our three secret tips on how to find discount camping gear, you might be able to find a cheap Kelty tent!
Best Camping Gear Reviews 3 tips to finding discount camping gear:
1) Check your local advertisements for camping gear specials. In today’s economy most businesses are hurting for sales. The camping gear stores are no different. I look in the Sunday advertisements and always find great deals on camping gear. The other day, I found Coleman coolers for 30% off! That’s a great discount camping gear price.
2) Look in the “bargain basement” at your local camping gear stores. A lot of times you can find last years camping gear or outdoor clothing at a huge discounted price. Is there really a big difference between last years Sierra Designs sleeping bags and this years? Probably not.
3) Shop on line. There are a lot of good camping gear stores that strictly sell on line. This keeps their overhead costs down and keeps their prices cheaper. A lot of times you might have to pay a small shipping fee, but you avoid the sales tax most of the time. Don’t worry about returns because almost every reputable online camping gear store accepts returns without problems.
We hope that these 3 tips on how to find discount camping gear is helpful to you!

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.

Best Camping Cooler; Coleman Xtreme cooler!
One of the most important pieces of camping gear that I own is my Coleman Cooler. I think the importance of having a cooler as part of your camping equipment goes without saying. I currently own the 62 quart wheeled Xtreme cooler by Coleman and love it.
The Coleman Xtreme cooler can store ice for up to 5 days at temperatures in the 90 degree range. As I mentioned earlier, I have the Xtreme cooler with wheels on it. It has two large wheels that make it very easy to transport. Using the tow handle makes this a synch to move around all the beautiful campgrounds that I visit. Now, I have to admit that I like to drink a cold one around the fire or on the lake when I fishing. What’s nice about the Coleman Xtreme cooler that I have is that it can hold up to 85 cans! I haven’t tried to fill it that much yet because the wife would not be too happy that she can’t fit all her stuff in their for her favorite Dutch Oven recipes. One day I will!
The Coleman Xtreme cooler comes in the following sizes: 36 quart, 52 quart, 62 quart with wheels, 70 quart, 100 quart, and 100 quart with wheels. I bought mine at one of my local camping gear stores for about $80.00. Coleman coolers are worth every penny!
What’s nice about this piece of camping gear, is that like my Brunton binoculars, I can use it for more than just camping gear. I can take it to the beach, the park, or anywhere that I need a cooler.
Well now for some more great news, in addition to being an avid camper, I absolutely love golf. Prior to my current job, I was in the golf industry for about 9 years. After having so many of my friends ask me questions about golf equipment, I finally decided to put together a golf equipment reviews website. Check it out. It’s going to have some great information on it about all the best golf clubs including TaylorMade golf clubs and Ping golf clubs.

Bushnell Excursion binoculars
All too often people pack their camping gear, head to one of their favorite campgrounds, and realize they forgot something. More often than not, it was their binoculars that they forgot. Binoculars aren’t like most pieces of camping equipment where you can just head to the local camping gear store near the campground and replace them. Binoculars can cost a lot of money sometimes. Binoculars range in price from $30.00 to $2,500.00!
Best Camping Gear Reviews likes the Bushnell binoculars. We get to use the Bushnell binoculars more than the average camper. The reason is because we are police officers and used our Bushnell binoculars as pieces of our police equipment. Binoculars come in handy as police gear and camping gear.
There is nothing better than taking a long nice hike and finding a secluded mountain peak with beautiful views. Using some binoculars will allow you see some amazing things! Just remember to take your Garmin GPS with you so that you don’t get lost!
One of Best Camping Gear Reviews favorite pair of Bushnell binoculars is the Bushnell Excursion EX binocular. The Excursion binoculars are very lightweight, waterproof, fog proof, and very durable. A drop here and there won’t do any damage. The Bushnell Excursion binoculars come in an 8x42 or 10x42 powers. The Bushnell Excursion binoculars can found at most camping gear stores and select police gear stores. They cost between $210.00 and $250.00,

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.
The Marmot Helium sleeping bag is a super versatile, three season sleeping bag with a rating of +15 degrees.

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.

Coleman Lanters
When it comes to camping gear, Coleman makes some of the best camping equipment. They have been in business for a very long time and have worked hard at maintaining their reputation as one of the best camping gear manufactures. Coleman manufactures everything from Coleman coolers, camping tents, camping stoves, Coleman flashlights, sleeping bags, and Coleman lanterns.
The Coleman lanterns are great when you don’t want to carry around a Streamlight flashlight all night at the campground. The Coleman lanterns come in several different styles and price ranges. None of the Coleman lanterns are that expensive.
Some of the most popular Coleman lanterns are fueled by propane, gas, or kerosene. Not much difference in any of them. The propane lanterns are very popular because of the ease of getting a small propane tank.
So the next time you are at your local camping gear store, make sure you take a look at the Coleman lantern.

Dutch ovens
Best Camping Gear Reviews loves Dutch ovens. For those of you that don't know what a Dutch oven is, A Dutch oven is a thick-walled iron (usually cast iron) cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid. It is commonly referred to as a "camp oven" in the Australian bush, "cocotte" in French, and as a "casserole dish" in British English. Dutch ovens are very common as camping gear and camping equipment.
There are many Dutch oven manufactures. Perhaps the best Dutch oven manufacture is Lodge Logic. Lodge Logic makes several good Dutch ovens in different sizes. The most popular Lodge Logic Dutch oven is the 6 quart model. The Dutch oven is made of cast iron for added durability, but is a bit on the heavy size as a result of the cast iron. The Lodge Logic Dutch oven can be purchased at your local camping gear stores such as R.E.I. or Cabelas.
Best Camping Gear Reviews has recently added a section to the camping equipment site specifically for Dutch oven recipes. As time passes, Best Camping Gear Reviews will have chicken, meat, desert, and many more Dutch oven recipes listed. If you have a favorite Dutch oven recipe, please email it to us.

Kelty Camping tents
One of the most important pieces of camping gear is a camping tent. Without a good camping tent, you camping experience can be miserable. There are several good camping equipment manufactures that make good camping tents. A few of those manufactures are Big Agnes, Kelty, Bibler, and Columbia Sportswear.
My favorite camping tent manufacture is Kelty. I believe that Kelty camping tents are some of the best tents made. Kelty has been making camping equipment since the early 1950’s. They have continued to make their products better since the beginning.
My favorite Kelty camping tent is the Gunnison 3.1 tent. The Gunnison has recently been redesigned to give it better construction and more user friendly. The tent features color coded clip construction and a quick two pole setup. The Gunnison 3.1 tent can easily accommodate 3 campers!
I really like the Kelty Gunnison 3.1 camping tent. It is spacious, good looking, and provides great shelter.
Ketly camping tents can be purchased at all the major camping gear stores including Cabelas, REI, and many more!

Brunton Eterna binoculars
Sorry that there hasn't been a post for a few days. I have been out of town for work and just haven't found the time to write about any camping gear. Recently I was at my local REI camping gear store and saw the Brunton binoculars. I have only owned Bushnell binoculars in the past but really liked the look of the Brunton binoculars. REI carried several different models that ranged in price from $48 to over $1,000. Some people might think that spending $1,000 for a pair of binoculars is crazy, but it all depends on what your need is. I know a few people that have expensive binoculars that are police officers and they use them daily as part of thier of police equipment.
The Brunton binoculars that I really liked were the Brunton Eterna 8 x 45 binoculars. The binoculars are nitrogen filled to ensure a stable interior environment for fog-free, waterproof protection. Other features include emerald fire fully multi-coated optics that block out harmful UV rays and increase light transmission by reducing reflected light, and Bak-4 roof prisms that offer excellent light transmission for sharp images. Perhaps the greatest feature is the constuction of the Brunton Eterna binoculars is that they are made wth an alloy and polymer frame that has an ergonomic rubber armor to protect the binoculars from bumps and falls while providing a good grip. I really think I'm going to splurge and add these binoculars to my collection of outdoor gear.
The Bruton Eterna binoculars cost about $400 from REI but I'm going to look at some other camping equipment stores in the area such as Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas. I might even head down to the local San Diego police equipment store and see if they carry the Bruton binoculars. I will keep you posted on this purchase!

Camping gear in 2009
To start off with, I hope everybody had a good New Years and a great 2009! Best Camping Gear Reviews is going to really take off in 2009. We plan to review some of the best camping gear and some of the most affordable camping gear. With the current economic situation in the US, buying camping gear might not be on everybody's to do list. Hopefully, after reading our camping equipment reviews you will be able to make some more educated decisions when you are ready to buy camping gear.
Camping tents are one of the most common bought pieces of outdoor gear. There are so many manufactures that one can get confused. From the outside, Kelty tents, Bibler tents, and Big Agnes tents all look the same. But are they really? No. It is very important that when you are buying a camping tent you understand how to pick out a camping tent. Camping tents are rated for varying weather conditions and their size.
Two other features that Best Camping Gear Reviews has started and will continue to develop in 2009 are a campgrounds directory and camping gear store directory. Both directory are going to list the best campgrounds and camping gear stores around the United States and Canada.
Make sure you check back often!
