#5. COOLER
Coleman — 82 Quart Xtreme6 Wheeled Cooler ($115)
You know that green Coleman metal cooler that your parents still have from when you went on family camping trips as a kid? There’s a reason they still have it; Coleman is built to last. The 82 Quart Xtreme6 is no exception – wheels and a handle for easy hauling; four, cup holders for convenience; spacious interior for optimal storage (holds up to 129 cans!); and Xtreme6 technology which boasts that it keeps ice for up to six days. Plus, it doubles as convenient fireside seating.
#6. STOVE
Primus Camping — Profile Dual ($160)
One part stainless steel grill, one part stove, the Profile Dual gives the grill master – or novice – a chance to craft his art without having to haul a barbeque along. With two individually adjustable flames, a removable non-stick grill tray for simple cleaning, flip out shields that effectively block the wind, and a twist-click piezoelectric ignition, this sturdy stove (12lbs.) is impressive. And while it won’t cook for you, it’ll sure make you look like you know what you’re doing.
*don’t forget the propane!
