The first time we ever went camping, Regina told me about her Nerd Book. Its proper name, really, is the National Park Passport Explorer Edition, a behemoth of a book full of blank pages, pockets, dividers and an envelope to hold your souvenirs. It zips closed and can be carried like a purse.

This, my friends, is a camping essential. It’s a little stove!
On most camping trips, we bring a larger two-burner stove, plus this thing. The large stove is usually for cooking food, while we use the single-burner stove to heat water for coffee or to do dishes. It’s quick, it’s easy and we love it.

Waterproof phone cases run around $70 a pop. Sometimes more.
Who has two thumbs and is w-a-a-a-a-y too cheap for that? Go on, take a guess.
Plus, there just aren’t that many occasions where I feel the desire to plunge my phone into water.

When we were newbie campers shopping for supplies, we figured the mallet we chose didn’t make much difference. It only has two things to do: Put stakes in the ground and take them out.

When you camp, you buy a lot of toys. And some of those toys are going to be turkeys. It’s just the law of averages.
Case in point: the Igloo Cube Rolling Cooler. And what a turkey it is! Continue reading
