There are many nifty things made for camping that are so practical they really should be part of our everyday stuff even when we're not camping. Here are some of the things I have found useful in camping/hiking situations or would like to try out at some point. Product I own/want My Reviews/Recommendations/Tips Megabrite 4 Pack Self-Powered Turbo-Torch LED Mini Flashlights Own They're not kidding when they called these MegaBrite - they are mega bright indeedy! They have 3 LEDs and recharge by winding but are sooo much brighter than any other LED flashlights I've had, even ones with batteries or more LEDs. They light up so well and are so much fun that I use mine on a daily basis instead of night lights. My hubby and I have also used a couple of them as candles for an eco-friendly romantic evening more than once as they have a similar ambiance when wound and set to shine upwards. The lighting in the room and ceiling is similar to candles, without the flicker and while they will dim after a bit, they will stay lit for quite some time. (We discovered that when camping one time and falling asleep with one hanging from the peak of our tent. It was still dimly lit in the morning). This might be rough on the batteries though, so you'd probably not want to leave them on nightly all night. I also have some retractable key chain single LED lights from them that are simply amazingly bright. I've used it as a flashlight more than once, not simply to light a key hole. I haven't found a place to send you to buy them yet though. CFP-90 Ranger Pack / Assault Pack -- Mil-Spec -- Complete Own This looks like the backpack I got at an Army surplus store on the US Mainland when I was there for the last Health & Fitness Week. It looks like they don't have any in stock right now, but perhaps later. It's my favorite backpack to date, although I have to admit that I haven't put it into action yet so I don't know of it's quirks, if any. I like the camo, that it seems to be a fairly natural material, the way it adjusts an feels when on, how my camping hammock and fleece sleeping bag fit inside it with room for clothes and other things, that there's a day pack that snaps right onto it, all the compartments and tie-ons and more! :) I attach the backpack on the back, but it's nice how I could put it on top too. I bet I could get another one too.. hmm... wonder if there are enough clips for that... After I actually go hiking and camping with it I'll try to come back here and let you know how it went. And I'll see if there are enough clips for two day packs too. Army Surplus Duffel Bag Own Actually it's my hubby that owns this one. He has it from being in the Army before I met him and has used it loads of times. I've seen him pack an amazing amount of stuff into it and hoist it on his back. I can't say how comfortable it is from personal experience, but he seems to get on fine with it. The space in it seems to just keep on going. Bag 'o plenty, heh. When full much of the stuff's above your shoulders so it seems to distribute things fairly well. It makes a good laundry bag too. More Listings Coming Soon! Next -- >>>
