Awesome Camping

If you need something roomier – and more attention grabbing – than the Camper Van Tent, the London Underground Tube Tent is for you. It can fit up to 72 people standing or 16 people sleeping.

Alite’s 2 pound portable chair is just the right thing for your backpack, providing a comfortable slingback lounger that can hold up to 250 pounds while looking good doing it.

Fix yourself that perfect cup of joe even while you’re out in the wilderness, thanks to this portable French press and insulated drinking mug, available in a camouflage or leafy Fall red wrapper.

This portable outdoor oven stove lets you prepare a decent meal no matter where you are. It uses 1lb propane cylinders to power two 6,000 BTU burners and an oven that can accommodate a 12″ pizza.

Cross a hammock with a tent and you get the Tentsile, a portable shelter that does not require an even surface. A complementary stand is also being developed so it can be pitched virtually anywhere.

The Camper tent is cute and all, but if you’re looking for a more permanent travel companion, the Dub-Box will suit you better. It’s fully furnished, but the matching VW van is not included.

We never thought that wearable sleeping bags was a sub-genre, but here’s another good one. It’s made of nylon ripstop with water-resistant finish and will make you look like a cuddly astronaut.

HotCans are great camping or emergency supplies. Pierce the can’s top rim to activate the water and limestone mix in its outer shell and enjoy hot food – about 60-70°C – in just 8 to 12 minutes.

An ingenious camping gadget, this compact stove not only provides a wood cooking flame, but uses the heat from the fire to generate power for your USB gadgets. Out Spring 2012.

Petzl’s innovative headlamp uses sensors which automatically adjust its beam width and intensity based on what you’re looking at, varying from 7 to 355 lumens and wide to spot beams. Out this July.

If the MOEGI is thin and light, the XTW250 RYOKU is chunky and rugged. Designed for camping, it has an AC generator, a large rear carrier and an engine guard that also acts as a shovel.

What’s better than a wearable blanket? A wearable sleeping bag, that’s what. The Poler Napsack is an extra long puffy coat that will keep you warm whether you’re inside the house or outdoors.

Another quirky sleeping bag to make you the envy at camp. Instead of tomato sauce, the Slice of Pizza Sleeping Bag is lined with smooth satin. Vegetable pillows included. It’s only 3’x5′ though.

Let’s not kid around – this kit’s main draw is its very pretty metal box. But it does contain a ton of useful items, from bandages and gauze strips to a mylar blanket and even a first aid chart.

We know, it sounds like a Ben Stiller movie, but the Sealander is actually a camper trailer that goes right from road to water, which is pretty cool in our book. Not as cool as Blue Steel of course.

For traveling, camping or just crashing at your bud’s place. Made of a lightweight, weatherproof, mildew-repelling fabric with a 6’2″ insulated foam mattress. Proceeds go to help the homeless.

Sawyer’s Squeeze filters are light and very easy to use – fill up the pouch, screw the filter on to the pouch and then squeeze the water out of the pouch. Comes with 12oz, 16oz and 32oz pouches.

Telescoping poles are pre-attached to the tent, so it takes two people just a minute to set it up or take it down. Made of fully taped weather-resistant fabric. Available in 4, 6 and 8 person models.

If you’re like us, your crazy fantasy of leaving on a cross-country bike trek just got a little crazier thanks to Topeak’s Bikamper. It’s a personal shelter that uses your bike in place of tent-poles.

Enjoy a cup of brewed coffee even if you’re hundreds of miles away from civilization with Coleman’s propane-powered coffeemaker. It works just like the one you have at home too.

UK online food delivery group Just Eat has designed the Eatensil, a Swiss army knife of cutlery of sorts; it has a pizza cutter, chip fork, chopsticks, bottle opener and fork, knife and spoon.

If the Kraken has been released and you need to TCB, try the WASP Injector weapon; it injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas into prey at 800psi nearly instantly. Video here. (Thanks Eric!)

You’ll be the envy of the campsite when you step out in the morning from this 4 person tent with 2 zip-separated full size rooms, a full-size replica of the iconic VW Camper Van. (Thanks Chris!)
