Camping people - what gear is new and awesome?

[Phteven]

I've been browsing BCF.
Ooh, they play cards and board games. Maybe a green cloth so they can have a proper card table wherever they go.
I wondered if the might want matching white panama hats and then I realised that of course they would hate them but then I wondered if they might like a hammock. Or would that be silly?

I like the sound of a hammock.

Love the hammock idea!

The most important thing for me when I go camping is the toilet issue. I am not a dig hole and squat kind of person. They have amazing portable toilets these days that you take camping.
Another one is the camping shower, again they are pretty swish these days as well.

How much do you want to spend? C gear make the most amazing ground mats
Camping shovels/tokamak axes are great but the prolly already have that. As are camp ovens/cast iron pots. Quality gear is awesome, and often takes years to accumulate.
Books like the camp series are great as are any quality atlas - map type books.
What about a bird guide? You know the ones that have every Australian species? It's always cool to know what you are looking at. Same goes for fish species.
Go check out anoconda, they have awesome stuff
Oh also, those head lamp lights rock like mountain climbers use. We use our all the time.

Will come back if I can think of other things

I was going to say those mats that join together kind of like a jigsaw puzzle, makes your 'living area' much cleaner.
