2009 Camping Essentials: What the cool kids are pitching besides their tents

Top ten countdown to camping nirvana:

10.  Coleman Elite WeatherMaster Tent.  As many cool features as this tent has, the one that counts the most is the HINGED DOOR.  After all, broken noisy zippers are SO 2008!  For $217 and some change, it's a real, as they say down the Cape, 'bah-gin'.


9.  Coleman Slow Cooker.  It's like a crock pot.  Only for camping.  $89 buckaroos on Amazon.




8.  Table top grilling rocks my world.  This bad boy moves easily from campsite to beach and at $19.99 they're practically giving them away.


7.  It is so not snappy to start your day without a good cup of coffee.  I just have to say 'Thank you, Coleman' for making this Camp Coffeemaker that snaps right onto any standard camping stove.  Get one for yourself for $45 clams.



6.  Excursion Deluxe Rolling Cooler.  Don't let the name fool you-this isn't a cooler, it's 5 star room service on wheels.  It comes with service for 4 (plates, cotton napkins, acrylic wine glasses, picnic blanket, stainless knives, forks & spoons, bottle stopper, corkscrew, salt & pepper shakers, cheese board with knife), and has room for as many bottles of wine, and separate insulated food and beverage sections.  Can I haz one? PLEEZ?  $179.95 on Amazon.



5.  What's a tiki umbrella without a little fuego?  Grab these attachable torches for $19.95 and light up the night!

 


4.  Coleman Camp Oven.  This little bugger sits right on the fire.  For $29.95 you can channel your inner Betty Crocker campside.



3.  Outdoor Wine Goblets.  Nothing says 'snappy' like a good bottle of wine enjoyed while watching the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean and drunk from a medieval style goblet.  Amen.  $10 buckaroos for this little guy.



2.  Inflatable Sofa Bed.  I recently bought this bad boy for $56 for those unexpected overnight camping guests.  (Skunks, raccoons, and wild turkeys need not apply). 





1.  And the number one camping essential for 2009 is (drum roll please).  The Battery Operated Lighted Palm Tree.  Get your beach on for $13.99.
