My favorite camping gear

items This camping list should have a little something for everyone (gear and otherwise). I have found these things extremely useful when on the trail and when not. Tents, gear for backpacks, and more!

This little stove is perfect for travel, it is super lightweight, and the best part is I can start it just using pinecones and twigs for tinder!
Lite Camp Stove
This is the best headlamp you can get. I've had it for almost 2 years and have only had to recharge the batteries once. It has different light settings, plus a red light. Very good for finding your way to the outhouse at night!
NU25 MCT
This little device is extremely handy. It has a very bright flashlight, radio, weather radio, cell phone charger via solar, hand crank, or USB, a compass, an SOS alarm, and an antenna. Very good for preppers, and those who live in areas of tornados!

Very lightweight and handy for moments when you need sliverware, but don't want to eat off of your sharp pocket knife!
