Great for deep woods hiking or casual camping

I love this set.

It is compact, and came in (what looked like) a tiny box and when i took it out i was amazed at how it all fit together so perfectly and compact for travelling.

Lightweight, perfect for 4 people or so.

It only comes with one handle that you can easily move from one pan to the next, if you are cooking multiple things, but i would recommend buying another handle or 2.

A little pricey, but worth it!

I do a lot of nature watching and found these while searching in general for Coleman folding chairs.

I chose black so that they will heat up in the morning sun and not attract attention or cause reflections, being that they are black :)

I was just going to buy one, but found the quad pack to be really convenient. The side pockets are a bonus for keeping our field study kits.
Test tubes, petri dishes, other sample collection pouches fit perfectly and I don't have to put them on the ground and hunt around for them.
They are quiet, no creeky noises when you shift your weight to pull up the binoculars and so on.

I also use them inside my hunting blind, which I actually use for nature photography and video work. Again, black works great there as they just look like a shadow in the blind.

The material is nice and should last a very long time. I am 5'9" with a medium build and these are a prefect fit for me. Can't beat the price.

They come with a sleeve/bag that has a shoulder strap for easy transit. What we need now, is a backpack that holds all four together!

I would definitely recommend these for people who like to have places for "stuff" magazines, a small book for the beach, I just use the four can cooler for more stuff. :)

Anyone who's camped, has used something by Coleman and the quality is always top grade. I 100% like these chairs.

I've had this Outdoor Research Dry Synthetic Backpackers Kit for a year now and it is holding up well. The 15 liter size for the Air Purge Compression Dry Sack and the Ultralight Dry Sack is just right for all my gear: down sleeping bag/fleece blanket, clothes to last a month, camera gear and other small electronics, food, etc. - but I am under 5' tall and weigh 90lbs. so my clothes aren't that big to begin with, thus taking up less space in the first place. I also like to travel, hike and camp light whenever possible. Before taking these outdoors, I put some clothes but didn't fill it up - the regular ultralight dry sack can actually be rolled and "sealed" like the compression sack as long as you let the air out while rolling it. I then held it under running water in the sink and let it sit. Clothes stayed dry! I've traveled and hiked with them but I wasn't out in rainy conditions or near water but I'm pretty sure your equipment would stay dry too as long as you know how to pack and roll properly - also keep in mind that these are lightweight compared to other brands so that means treating them with care and not throwing them around roughly or slamming them on rocks and completely overstuffing them - which I've read in several reviews complaining about Outdoor Research's (dry or compression) sacks as being "flimsy" or "not heavy-duty enough" - these can last you if you are mindful and also have an ultralight mindset. Otherwise, there are tons of other brands that make thick, heavy dry sacks to your hiking, camping and travel style. The ditty mesh sack is labeled a "medium" size and I've used it for toiletries and other feminine needs - I would reckon they're also good for small damp clothing articles that you need to hang dry somewhere from a tree. I actually don't care much for the mesh as mesh does have a tendency to get stuck on sharp, pointy protruding objects. Because of that, I keep it in my backpack as a misc. stow-away pocket to keep things organized. I highly recommend this set for people who follow the lightweight philosophy if you don't mind dropping a few bucks. It's nice to be able to rely on brand name gear sometimes besides always living in "dirtbag traveler" mode!

The size is perfect for hiking/camping. Great light source.

I originally bought this as a means to carry my Sony NEX camera with me when I'm out hiking. I got tired of relying on a standard neck strap, which would let my camera dangle around as I hiked through the wilderness, and bags and pouches were too inconvenient for me for when I wanted to take a quick picture. I realized that I could use this to mount to my camelback water bag, or my backpack, but still be quickly accessible for those times you need a quick shot, and still restrained enough as to not precariously dangle around as I scaled rocks or steep inclines. The holster itself appears very durable with heavy stitching, and a very large contact area for the Velcro. The holster itself is plastic, but appears durable enough. It includes a safety lanyard as well in case it slips out of your hand or you miss the holster, and it too appears to be very durable. I've recommended this to multiple other friends who enjoy photography while out hiking or camping.

This is perfect for camping, but not for backpacking. It's too heavy.  It is compact in a nice zippered case that you can keep in the trunk.  Yes, it can be used as a seat by the fire etc., but we have primarily used inside the tent.  It becomes that place to put stuff you keep misplacing.  Maybe keys, phone, etc.  But mainly a nice table for putting food on if you eat inside.  It holds water bottles and other small items.  You could actually use this as a sturdy laptop stand if you wanted to.  It's easy to put together with instructions sewn inside the bag, in case you forget something. The first assembly will be a tight fit, but after a couple uses it will take form better.  It would be nice for day trips and events that you could really use a seat.  Take it to a game, fireworks, picnic, parade. It has an adjustable strap that allows you to hold by hand or put over shoulder.

Bought these for $19.95 from Wally World. I am the kind of person to buy a cheap version of a product to see if I use it enough to buy a top tier brand from an REI or an OutDoor Store. I will not be buying an expensive version of this poles because they are just what I need. I'm an avid outdoors person and I have never had trekking poles before. These are perfect for the casual weekend hiker. I have hiked 12 waterfalls and parts of the Appalachian trail with these so far. I'm 6'3" 295#  and they hold me up fine.

This is a very nice set of outdoor/camping cookware! The entire set nestles inside of each other and then stores inside of a large drawstring bag when you're finished using it.  When we go camping we usually just grab  some cast iron cookware from the kitchen and go with that, but even though cast iron is great for campfires and outdoor cooking it can also be very heavy too. This set is compact and light enough to carry.

The lids don't have venting and straining slits on them as mentioned in the item description, mine have one small hole in each lid to vent and drain. I did test them out on the stove and the steam hole worked good and the water was still able to be drained out from under the lid quickly when held over the sink. The only issue I had is the knob at the top of the lids. You need to be careful when you grab and lift the lid by the knob, the lids get hot and the knob doesn't stick up too far so if you're not paying attention you could wind up burning your fingers or knuckles when you lift the lid up.

The handles on these are great. I really like how they fold up against the sides to store and you are able to pull them out when you use them. The handles are sturdy and did not get hot while I used the pots or pan.

Included in this set are 3 pots, 1 frying pan, 3 lids,  2 small dishes, 5 bowls, 1 ladle, 1 spoon, 1 drawstring storage bag, and a small scrubby for cleaning.  I do think 3 more plates would have been nice so you could set a soup bowl on each plate. The little ladle is cute, you just pinch the metal handle sides together to unlock and extend the handle when you're ready to use it, it's the right size for this cookware.  The little spatula/spoon works too but is a bit small. I would probably just use a regular sized silicone spoon/spatula combo for cooking with this set to keep from scratching it.

For my family this will make an excellent set of camping cookware. I really like how well this set packs up for storing, and when used on our stove food heated up quickly and evenly. We either use a small propane burner stove to cook on when we camp, or we bring along a metal grate to put directly over the fire to set cookware and food on,...either way would work out very well with this set. I would recommend 100% to anyone looking for camping and outdoor supplies.

This is Tom's wife, and this knife was purchased for me. I wanted to use it as a neck knife, but it is much much too big for that. So, I improvised and made a small paracord tie to latch it to the side of my bra and that seems to be working out pretty good. The only difficulty is that it hits the top of my jeans and sometimes is noticeable. I may have to do something else but I just love this knife and want to carry it on me.

So far I've used it to open all kinds of boxes and bags, I've sliced fruit with it, and I've whittled some wood and made some small wood curls. It's heavy duty and fits in my hand perfectly and comfortably without scales or wrapping it with cording.

It came super sharp right out of the box and is incredibly heavy duty for being relatively compact. It does move a bit in the sheath but the retention is good, its not falling out and it's not a struggle for me to unsheath with my thumb. The sheath seems to be overly big tho so I may need to make my own so it's more convenient for EDC and SD purposes.

Overall I genuinely love this knife. The size is perfect and comfortable for my hand. Its super strong and the blade is exactly the perfect size for my small daily tasks and will be great for taking camping and hiking.

Best trekking, bush crafting, camping, outdoor wilderness pants.  Okay, I don't want to get too excited, but these are by far the best outdoors pants I've purchased.  I primarily use these for camping, backpacking, and wilderness adventures.  Let's start with the fit.  This fit is great, but got a bit confusing with the sizing for US.  You will need to go to their website to get the equivalent US size.  They're incredibly comfortable due to the way the cut the pants.  It avoids binding and stretching in uncomfortable places when you're in need to bend, kneel, or extend yourself on your adventure.  Specifically, you can pull your knee up to your chest to help you get up large rocks or hill without riding up your seat or private bits.  The cut also allows plenty of mobility without making the pants bulky or with extra materials that tend parachute out or catch on things in the brush.  You can fill the pockets without losing flexibility and comfort, even when the pockets are packed with your tools.  The no-pocket seat is a nice touch since playing in the outdoors like I do, I can spend a lot of time sitting or sliding over various terrain.  The seat is extra durable as well as the knees.  A cool feature is that you can slide pads into the double-knee design and avoid bringing knee pads when bush crafting or doing camping chores that require you to be on your knees for an extended amount of time.  The pants are not waterproof, but you can buy their wax and essentially waterproof them.  I wanted to note that these are not waterproof, but they are definitely water resistant.  I took these out on a camping trip to test them.  This including camping in the rain and a lot of fishing that required me to spend a lot of time traversing huge rocks to get to a decent fishing spot.  I was very comfortable doing my camp chores, such as acquiring wood, processing wood, and starting a fire.  The pants took quite the beating, being scraped and scratched from going through thick brushes and sliding around on my seat and knees traversing the terrain.  I spent some time out in the pouring rain from a Sierra Nevada thunderstorm dumping buckets on to us.  The water never made it through.  I had to get into the water just below my hiking boot and had to dunk the cuffs for some time while I had to free a fish I caught and tangled itself in the shoreline bushes.  The pants shed the water quickly and kept my feet dry.  I the warm months, I didn't need to wear anything under them, but I would imagine you would definitely need a base layer in the colder months.  They breath well when hiking and under strenuous work.  I swear while I was on this trip I notices some scratch and nicks on the pants and I assumed the pant seat would look worse.  When I got home, after running it through a dirty, dusty, damp, wet, muddy, chore-filled camping trip, they still looked brand new.  I imagine my non-leather seats must have given them a buffing, but nothing simply stuck to these pants.  When I say they looked brand new, they didn't eve look dirty or worn.  I own tactical pants that claim they could do all this, but I always found these statements were never true.  If Fjallraven claimed this, it would be true.  The only reason you could tell they were used was the smell of the campfire on them.  The only thing I can't confirm is the longevity of these pants.  They are expensive, but Amazon seems to keep them well below the retail price.  That being said, my experience alongside the other reviews I've read on Amazon and other websites seem to match in regards to the comfort, features, and durability.  If you're on the fence, I would recommend you take the leap.  I simply love these pants.

I got this one as an all around knife. We do a lot of camping and in many cases you need a sharp knife but you don't want to carry a heavy or bulky knife with you all the time. I mean, it's easy to carry a big knife or a combo tool with you when you're hiking but if I'm just sitting around at the camp I want to have a lightweight knife handy. This knife does the job. I have it for over a year now and I take it with me anywhere I go for hiking, camping, or just hanging out outdoors (i'm not one of these guys that carry a knife all the time. I don't feel comfortable carrying a knife on me but that's just me. I do have this knife in my work backpack.

The knife is very well built. the blade is partly serrated so it's more difficult to sharpen the entire blade but I have sharpened the non serrated part and it's still sharp after over a year.
The knife is light and has a very convenient clip so it's easy to carry around in your pocket. It's also small and compact. it is a folding knife and opening it is super easy and quick. It has a safety mechanism so it doesn't unintentially fold.

I think this knife is a great value given its relatively low price and high quality

Perfect for cutting fire wood, while you're in the woods camping, or on a survival trip and gear weight is an issue. If you're a minimalist like me, you'd want to take the smallest, lightest gear possible and this is perfect for your pocket gear, just in case you're separated from your bag.

I wanted a backpack that I could use for camping and wanted to balance cost and performance.  Overall, I have been very happy with this backpack.  I am about 6'1 and 170lbs and this backpack fits me well.  It has plenty of size and so I can pack as much or as little as I want.

My favorite feature of this is the removable waist pack that you can use for hiking.  I would high recommend this to others.

For casual camping where you are only carrying it short distances, I rate it a 5/5 will buy more.

I purchased two of these, and I found it to be exactly what I was looking for.

Pros:

-Compact when uninflated
-Convenient carry strap on cover
-Cover snaps on or off
-Really does self-inflate
-Extremely comfortable when self-inflated
-Can actually be rolled back up to original size and FITS IN ORIGINAL COVER.  (Can't tell you how many camping items never fit back in the original case/cover).

Cons:

-Too heavy for distance backpacking
-Rolling it back up does take a little bit of patience and force.  You have to open the inflation valve, and roll it up while squeezing out the air.  I ended up having to roll, then kneel on the rolled portion to force out the air, then roll it a bit more.  But once you are done with that, and close the valve, you are left with a very compact bundle that, as I said, still fits in the original cover.

These go on every hiking/camping trip with me. They are ultralight weight and easily stored away when not in use. They locking mechanisms are still strong after 2+ years of hard use. The cork handles have not deteriorated at all and are still easily gripped when covered in perspiration and in all weather conditions. The carbon tips are ultra-strong and have not worn down at all. The straps are nice to have when going downhill. I don't really utilize the snow baskets, and instead just increase the length of the poles to accommodate the added depth of the snow.

The fatigue reduction on your knee joints alone while going downhill are reason enough to get this pair of trekking poles, or any brand at all. Highly recommended.

Good for casual hiking!  Soft grips. Might have to re-tighten sometimes during a hike because mine would sometimes start collapsing again mid-hike.
