Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

I've always had Coleman 2 burners, except one stove which was a single burner with a grill/griddle on the opposite burner side, which I actually hated.

Never had any issues, and super reasonably priced.

 

Coleman

 

Just the cheapo coleman will do. I found the fancy version on craigslist for cheap, works the exact same as the cheapo ones but has a shiny black finish.

 

Awesome, I'll look into it.

 

I'd pay $5 more for black..

 

I had a Svea stove for a while that I loved. That thing would kick over with the first fire every morning no matter the temp.

 

Sorry, thought I added this. I'd like to pick up a set for 2-4 people. Ideally it would only need to be a one person setup but no one I camp with ever has their own shit...

 

Let us know what you get!

If you're shopping the GSI kits just make sure you open the box and imagine using the cups and bowls they provide and see if they're really going to work for you.

Last time I opened one it was like holding a kids play set, the sizes of things were really questionable.

 

Dude.

Check out the set I posted a pic of then.

None of the GSI stuff I'd recommend for groups that size.

 

Yea it's called the dualist cause it's for two people.

The ones I used to have are no longer available, MSR has a very small pour-over filter that works well

 

This one looks identical but half the price.. @ryanjboutin
ProTip..?

For groups I'd maybe go with instant or with a percolator.

But I'm not a coffee person.

 

MSR, GSI, and Optimus all make good camping cookware. Choice of Stainless steel or hard anodized aluminum. I use the aluminum gear in my truck or camper van, go lighter yet when backpacking. As stated before, some of the plates and bowls in the nested sets look cool but are pretty small. A two-pot nested set works well for most people, then add your own bowl and coffee cup.

 

Instant, you sir most definitely are not a coffee person, Death before instant!!!!

 

Wonder if you couldn't find a fine mesh bag that would work similarly and last longer.

Muslin is pretty cheap anyway.

 

If I'm going ultralight (climbing or backpacking), I'll use the Starbucks Via product. It looks like instant, but its really just super fine grind espresso beans. They'll dissolve in hot water and taste like real coffee. On an extended trip I sometimes grind my own at home and package in double-dose baggies.

 

My buddy brought his French press on a trip to the Boundary Waters. I hadn't tasted shit that good.
