When it comes to camping, I like simple and efficent gear, also the cheaper the better too :twisted::twisted:
Tent- Juts bought an oz-trail deluxe 'rapid pitch' tent (only a new design) and still yet to break it in on a camping trip, so wish me luck. Not the class of say an Oz-tent or Black Wolf but less than half the price and nearly as quick I'm not gonna whinge if it's not top quality canvas like the Oz-tent. Plus it has a gazebo type front so I'm not bombarded by flies when I am cooking and eating my tucker.
Cooking gear- I use the el-cheap $20 butane cartridge units, but just got a 'freebie' 2 burner gas stove with my 4WD action subs so that'l get good use. Utensils are all cleaned before and after a trip and stored in one of those cheap 'wherehouse' $10 containers. I am paranoid about food poisoning and always go a bit 'over the top' with that sort of thing.
Chair- Always like to spend money on a good chair and ones with stubby holders are always the prefernece (since I like a beer or 12 :twobeers:). Nothing worse thasn being uncomfortable when you're camping.
Table- Lightweight and cheap card table does the job or the tailgate on the Rangie for one-nighter trips, although I do have a HD item for longer stays (for sale in the markets, click on the link here). Nothing wrong with it but just a bit cumbersome for me.
Cooking in general- All pre-made before I leave, not always practical on a 2-3 week trip, but never been away that long so yet to find out the shortfalls of that.
Fridge- I just recently bought a Waeco CF-40 fridge, should have forked out on one years ago. Been carrying ice and eskies around for years and sick of the ice not lasting more than a day. Will say I do like my fridge and the best part is the beer is ALWAYS cold :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I don't have pics of my camping set-up but I've described what I take on trips.

Our setup was pretty basic when it was just 2 of us and the dog with the old rangie -
4 man dome tent
sleeping bags
self inflating mattress
lge tarp and poles to attach to rack
2 burner lpg stove
3 way finch fridge
2 and 3 kg lpg bottles
cast iron pan
s/s billy
s,m ss pots
2 lge plastic tubs for food
20ltr jerry of water- we usually go where water is available
shovel
tomahawk/axe
Now we have a 4 yo and a 11 month old i am setting up a 6x4 trailer so we can carry all the crap the missus wants to take, will be looking at a tent top for the trailer soon to make it a little bit easier. We have 4 tents from a 2 man dome to 4 man dome to 6 man tome with front vestibule to a large family size 2 room cabin tent.
Is that pic at Charlie Moorland camping area up Kenilworth way?? Might be wrong, just looks familiar that's all.Quote:
