Anyone hear of any super great sales on camping equipment lately?  I'm doing some shopping for Xmas & am looking at sales.

Also - what do you get a camper for Xmas who seems to have everything already?

DanaMite has a bunch of camping gear for sale - see above.

Hmm... in general, I don't use aluminum anymore because of the metals it can put into your body.  But I imagine the discoloration is from the dishwasher.  See if you can scrub any of it off with a mild scrub powder like Bar Tender's Keeper - or try polishing it - but I don't know which polish.  Not sure about using vinegar on it like you would copper... Maybe Google this problem?

Strange question.  We have an older set of aluminum(?) cookware (though they have some weight to them).  After using them last time, we brought them home, and ran them through the dishwasher for a through cleaning (we do this after each trip).  This time, the cookware, developed a discoloration (green and pinkish colors).  We are guessing that this may be a reaction to the detergent but we really don't know.  Anyone have any ideas?  Is it still safe to use the cookware?  Thank you.

That's a really good idea, Jerry.  I looked at the video.  Thanks for the info!

Check out this Link or this video on a simple home made camp toilet.

Btw, for anyone who's interested, I just bought a bag you can cook sealed meals or cans in.  They come 10 to a bag.  I got it on Amazon - the name of it is Portable Camping Cooking Bag.  Makes things easy and fairly quick.  I think it's similar to an MRE heater but not sure since I've never used one of those. 

Actually, I need an MRE heater, but I can't find a place that sells just the heater without the meals.

Anyone ever try MRE's?  If so, do you have any favorites?

@Anthony Composto - Roughing it is all well and good, but there's a place and time for going the luxurious route when camping - especially as we get a bit older.

Hi, my Fellow Campers! I just saw this article on a "Bubble Tent", although not at all practical, it's a funny concept. You can check it out at: http://shine.yahoo.com/event/green/see-through-bubble-tents-provide-incredible-views-2458337/ . Hope you all have lots of fun camping trips planned for this year!

We just just found a new place to camp in the mountains. I don't normally car camp but this place is awesome and I can drive to it. It will give me a chance to finally use two huge tents I bought last year. One is 12' X 12'. Being I usually hike to my camp locations, I don't have much of a chance to use any of my "comfort gear". It's time to see what it's like on the other side.
