Techie camp gear

[DThewanderer]

Does anyone have any high tech camping gear that they use? I have seen all kinds of nifty, lights, radios and even a solar powered marshmallow roaster (it roated for an even cook). What have you seen or used?

Brunton 12 volt solar array with a battery charger and USB port. Weighs 8 oz.

A solar powered marshmallow roaster? That just takes the fun out of it! I could see having something like that at home, maybe, when I can't sit at a campfire, but I wouldn't take one camping with me.

Right, Benny. And if you are backpack camping, it's just extra weight. Cut a green stick and you can discard it after use.

The only real techie thing I have is my GPS. Of course I don't really use it when I am out that much, but it has helped me to find some of the out of the way places I wanted to go.

Hey I've had a solar powered marshmallow roaster for awhile now! Don't knock it until you've tried it! These marshmallows are to DIE for!

Thats right BOB...we all do our own "thang" out there.

Bob I bought a light weight oven that requires a MSR whisper lite stove to operate. Several friends had a laugh when I pulled this 7 oz oven out and baked a pizza and topped it off baking 6 cupcakes. They all had some and was amazed that they were laughing at themselves.
I own all 3 ovens and they all work as advertised.

I like to take my e-reader camping, but that is really the only techie thing. Since I like to read, it is so good to be able to take a library with me when I go camping and not have to worry about space!

 

[DThewanderer]

Man, I would love to have one of those. Having delicious pizza and cupcakes while camping would be awesome! Sarah, I don't have an e-reader yet but I have been wanting one. Do you have one that you recommend?

Take a Heineken mini keg, pry off the top with a can opener. Add a wooden knob to the lid with a handle. Put a tin can with holes underneath and a heating source and you've got a super cheap and light camp stove. It doesn't fold up but it's great for car camping and costs nearly nothing.
