Solor Powered Coffee Machines
I can’t go without my coffee, and that means even on camping trips. What I do know is use the Folger’s individual cup bags in boiling water, but it would be nice to have a fancy jura capresso machine that would be solar powered or something. HA! I can just see it now, foaming up the milk for me out in the woods. I love to camp, but I also love the luxury of gourmet coffee.

Live Camping Podcast
I want to get my old laptop working, and build some type of satellite antenna that I can take camping with me. The laptop part is simple since it’s just a power supply repair, but building some type of portable and lightweight satellite antenna might be hard. Maybe there is something like this on the market already and I just don’t know it? It would be fun to do live camping podcast, don’t you think?
Hiking To A Bed & Breakfast
I would like to find a Bed & Breakfast that you had to hike into. One that is about 5 miles from any roads, and nestled back in the woods of some gorgeous countryside. Michael and I have talked about buying a place like this one day with a brewery where we brew our own beer, and a dining hall filled with all our homemade family recipes. Do any of you know if such a place already exist?
Car/Truck Camping
What kind of vehicle do you drive? I ask this because we have a Pontiac Grand Am, and it is the farthest from a cool camping vehicle that one could ever own. When we go camping the trunk is packed full of all our equipment, and the back seat is crammed full with coolers, pillows, and our extra blankets. We really need to get a truck with all the cool truck accessories that you can add on to make it more useful.
Wilderness Essentials
I found a place online to shop for all your camping gear today, and they had some really great prices listed, so I decided to tell you guys about them. They are called Wilderness Essentials, and they carry things like backpacks, coolers, stoves, cooking utensils, and more. There is also a fairly large selection of tents and kayaks. They have a customer care line that you can call to get help with any questions or concerns you may have with your order.
They have a huge tent selection for all different types and styles that you may want. From large family tents that sleep up to 10 people or more, to smaller two man and one man tents. We like to have privacy when we camp, so we have our small two man tent, and the boys each have their own two man tent so put all their stuff in. There is just something about having a couple tents set up on your site that looks neat to me, instead of just one. Along with sleeping tents, they also carry shade tents & shelters, and any accessories that you would need to go along with your tent.
If you do any camping on a lake, which most people do in the summer time, it’s always nice to have an inflatable kayak’s for family fun. They come in one man styles, or two, and they also include paddles. With the camping we do on Lake Mead, those would be so much fun to add to our collection of camping gear.
And don’t forget about food! I think that is one of my most favorite things about camping, the food. I like preparing it, and cooking with our cast iron pots and pans right over the campfire. Cooking with Camp Chef Michael, is always a blast. He comes up with some great recipes, and we eat like pigs the entire weekend.
Go check out Wilderness Essentials for all your camping needs.
