It requires a gas canister, not included. Promising review: "I’m really happy with this Fire-Maple stove. It’s super compact, lightweight, and easy to use. It boils water quickly and works well even in windy conditions. Perfect for camping and hiking. Great value for the price!" —Daria Kliushnyk Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in two versions and five colors/patterns). It has cayenne, oregano, garlic salt, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Promising review: "Great product! Super compact and easy to pack! An awesome addition to any camping trip!" —Campbell The set includes 17 items, including knives, tongs, grater, spatula, ladle, cutting board, can opener, vegetable peeler, and more in a carrying case. Promising review: "Had my camping trip today. Knife is sharp. Everything is good quality. Buy it with no hesitation." —Tavish Wang Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (also available in a 12-piece set). Promising review: "Great value and perfect size for our camping trip needs! Highly recommended" —KY It also has a bottle-opener and drink tank with a tap and can double as seating. Promising review: "I recently purchased the BrüTank 55-quart cooler for a camping trip, and I am absolutely blown away by its performance. This cooler is a game changer for anyone who loves outdoor adventures! The insulation is top-notch. We filled it with ice and drinks on a Friday, and by Monday, the ice was still there, mostly intact! It's incredible how long it keeps things cold. The real magic is in the drink tank and built-in tap. That thing is a game changer. I mixed 3 gallons of margaritas in there, and we had cocktails for our group and other campers all night. In the morning, I put water in the tank, and we had fresh, cold water all day long. The build quality is also impressive. It feels rugged and durable, which is essential for rough outdoor use. The handles are sturdy, making it easy to carry, even when it's fully loaded. Plus, the non-slip feet are a great touch – the cooler didn't budge in the back of our truck on bumpy roads. I also appreciate the extra features like the built-in bottle opener." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in three sizes and seven colors). The set, which is designed to feed two to four people, includes three camping pots (2.3 quarts, 1.3 quarts, and 1.1 quarts), one nonstick pan, and a carrying bag. Promising review: "I have used these several times camping and hiking. They work excellently. Lightweight and super easy to clean up. I can't think of anything I would change. I chose this set specifically because it didn't have a teapot. The smallest of the pots has a lid with holes, making it great for heating water for coffee/ tea. Used it both on a campfire and fuel stoves. Works equally as well on both. The bag it comes in stretches just enough to hold everything together and to replace it without any issues. It's a great product, especially considering the price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!" —Peter W. Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (also available in two other sets). Promising reviews: "For the price, I was not expecting much from these tongs and just hoped they got through one firepit season. We were pleasantly surprised by these fireplace tongs. They are on the lighter side, which was a bonus for us as the logs are heavy enough. They open and close very easily and are very strong. We are on our second season with these, and they look and feel like new. We were so pleased, we bought a second pair for our daughter!" —Wendy "These are great for what we bought them for. We use them to pick up food we are cooking in a campfire, and they are awesome." —April S. Get it from Amazon for $13.85+ (available in two colors). It comes with a cutting board, a drain basket, five mandolin vegetable slicer cutters, and two vegetable knives. Promising review: "This set is amazing; it comes with everything you need. The knives are good quality and cut well. It doesn't take up much space, making it ideal for camping. It would also make a great gift." —Noris Get it from Amazon for $26.97 (available in four colors). Promising review: "My family loves to go camping , and this has been one of the best things I have bought to take with us. It is perfect to grill chicken over the fire. Or throw in some veggies over the grill. I love this so much, I bought one for my dad." —kira robinson Promising review: "What a good idea for camping or just living in an RV part-time. I'm always worried about using too much water in the state parks where they don't have hookups. Now my gray water won't fill up too fast by doing dishes. The wet dish wipes clean the dishes really well, even stuck-on cheese. I'm buying more for my next camping trip." —Bernice The nesting set includes a 1.65-quart stainless-steel saucepan with a fold and lock handle, a stainless-steel lid with vent and strain holes, two nonslip cutting boards with removable silicone trivets, two 16-ounce stacking bowls, sporks, and spatulas. Promising review: "As with other Stanley items, this is very nice. It seems to be well-made and easy to clean. The utensils are serviceable but not as nice as with the skillet. The bowls are large, and it is nice that they all nest together, saving space. Great for camping." —gary richmond Promising review: "These are portable and are good quality and very easy to use. Nice colors, so everyone can keep track of their sticks. They are durable and hold the items well for roasting. I am glad I purchased." —southern girl1211 Get a five-pack from Amazon for $5.85+ (available in two colors, an option with a bag, and larger multipacks). Promising review: "Used on recent camping trip. Super lightweight but NOT flimsy. Wooden handle stops heat transfer. Handle unscrews for packing up and allows you to use the skillet as a plate. Cooked pancakes and burgers on it. Just big enough for a couple of good burgers and two to three smaller pancakes. Cleanup was easy. Great buy for campers for cooking/eating." —GL Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a crepe style). Promising review: "Perfect design for oil dispensers. These were a perfect addition to my camping gear because the way they pour and close, there's absolutely no oil dripping over the side or leaking." —Teefy Get a four-pack from Amazon for $26.99 (also available individually and in a two-pack). It comes with five salts (Hawaiian black salt, smoked alderwood salt, lemon rosemary salt, pink Himalayan salt, Hawaiian red salt, flake sea salt) and five peppers (white pepper, sansho pepper, tellicherry pepper, smoked black pepper, pink pepper, Sichuan pepper). Promising review: "I gave this salt and pepper gift set as a present, and it was an absolute hit! The set comes with a wonderful variety of flavored salts and peppercorns, which adds a fun and gourmet touch to any meal. The presentation is lovely, and each glass vial arrived in perfect condition with no breakage — always a relief when it comes to fragile items like this. The recipient was thrilled with the gift and immediately began experimenting with the different flavors. It’s a great way to elevate everyday cooking with some unique seasoning options. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just someone who enjoys experimenting with flavors, this set is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves to cook or just enjoys trying out new flavors. The quality and variety make it stand out!" —Bridgette Romanov Promising review: "Used it twice now. I think it works great! Perfect for my small family's use. Easy to assemble and take apart. Happy with the cost." —anonymous Get it from Amazon for $28.79+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "I am an avid tent camper. This gave me another option for cooking on my long camping vacations in Maine. Perfect! Grills everything from meat to vegetables." —Bruce Wayne McLellan Promising review: "I use them for camping. I have always put them in a Ziplock bag, just in case, but I've never had them leak. I've used these for oil, ketchup, BBQ sauce, and syrup." —Michelle Peterson Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.49 (also available in an eight-pack). The set includes two spatulas and a scraper. Promising review: "These are great. Used them on our new griddle while camping with ease. Cleaned up well too." —K Fink Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (also available in plastic and in sets with additional items). Promising review: "I used this for the very first time last weekend. What a fun way to make food while camping! Everything seems to taste better over a wood fire. I tried pizza, apple pie, tacos, grilled cheese, and s'mores. Everything turned out great, and I can't wait to go camping again! Just be sure to use a lot of butter or cooking spray on the inside, or things will stick. Now I think I want to buy more of these so my friends can go camping with me and experience the fun!" —Snapdragon It includes three rubs: Kansas City, roasted garlic and beer, and mountain man bourbon. Promising review: "Extremely convenient, well built, and relatively easy to clean. It makes grilling things like veggies and shrimp a breeze. I highly recommend." —Chris Promising review: "I love to BBQ when camping, and packing a regular kitchen knife is a hassle. This folding knife keeps the edge protected from damage as well as your hand when it's in a bag! It's sharp enough to chop veggies as well as cleanly cut through streaks. The handle is comfortable, and the size is just right for most duties. Bonus is that it looks cool, and people always ask about it! Closing action is the same as most pocket knives, and when open, the blade locks in stable and secure. I wish I had found this sooner!" —ChrisL Get it from Amazon for $17.77+ (available in six styles, with different handles and carrying cases). The caddy has four compartments with a paper towel roll holder, a removable plate holder, two adjustable compartment dividers, and three hanging hooks. Promising reviews: "There are so many spots and holders in this to put all the essentials when cooking outside or camping. Keeps you from making a million trips!" —erica perrige "Best camping hack! This made hauling dinner supplies to the dining table so much easier; plus it is cute!" —Teresa Lowery Get it from Amazon for $27.59+ (available in two other styles). Promising review: "I needed something functional, reliable, effective. It's been decades since I've used a Coleman stove, and that used fuel, but it brings back fond memories. This propane cookstove is so much easier to use than the old fuel models. It really fits the bill for our hunting camp." —DaveH Promising review: "I really like this egg carrier. I bought it for camping, and even though several reviews said that it doesn’t fit large eggs, I disagree. I think it’s a matter of how you place the eggs in the crate. They come from the store with the “pointy” side down, but in this crate I placed them with the pointy side up, and a dozen large eggs fit just fine. It closed well, and it held up well with the weight of the dozen. Update: Just took it on its first camping trip this weekend, and it held up really well in the cooler. Eggs arrived intact (see last picture)." —femerim Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with a salt and pepper shaker). This dry food container storage set includes five glass containers with lids, a stainless-steel scoop, a ¼ measuring cup, and a magnetic organizer Promising review: "Love the quality and color. Pantry organization staple!" —Leslie Meyers Get a 13-piece set from Amazon for $275+ (available in six colors and a 26-piece set).
