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.

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,
