When navigating the great outdoors with only a backpack to carry supplies, nothing is more important than lightweight and compact gear. With this in mind, Open Country’s portable 8-inch frying pan features lightweight aluminum construction and a foldable handle that bends 180 degrees inward to fit inside the pan’s belly. The pan measures 8-3/4 by 8 by 1-3/4 inches when ready for transport, and weighs only 10 ounces. When unfolded and ready for cooking, the double riveted handle locks into place and extends 7-1/2 inches outward. A thin coating of rubberized material covers the handle to provide a firm grip. The pan’s interior features a nonstick coating for easy food removal and simple cleanup--a great advantage when water is scarce. As with all nonstick surfaces, it’s best to avoid using metal utensils and abrasive cleaners. Made in the United States, this pan resists denting, and comes with use and care instructions. -- Amy Arnold ... Read more

Streamlight Stinger: Great rechargeable light
The Stinger is a great rechargeable light. It's small yet provides a bright amount of light for about an hour. With the adjustable lens, you can choose a floodlight or spotlight.

The Stinger comes with two charging cradles and an AC cord and DC cord so you can have one in your car and one at home. Therefore you can always have your Stinger charging to be used whenever you need it. The extra bulb in the tailcap is also nice.

+'s: small, bright, fits easy in your hands, adjustable beam, 1 hour run time, you can charge the battery without taking it out of the flashlight, charging cradles allow you to place the flashlight from the top or "snapped" in from the front.

-'s: long charge time unless you buy the "fast" charger.

If you need to constantly use a flashlight that is small but powerful (security guard, handyman, plumber), the Stinger will not disappoint you. The rechargeable battery will save you money in the long run.

Although expensive, it is good quality and I would buy this flashlight again. For a brighter light, check out the Stinger HP which is rated almost 3 times as bright. ... Read more

Road Trip Grill is great!!
I've had my Coleman Road Trip Grill for about a year. This grill is used all year. I like the fact that it has such nice accessories. I bought another grill plate, 2 stove grates and the tote/storage bag. If you are making burgers on the grill you can also fry up some potatoes on the stove grate. Unlike the Thermos Grill you have just a griddle and grill to cook on. The Road Trip Grill has 2 separate burners with 2 separate controls, so if you have a small amount to cook you don't have to heat up the whole grill (the Thermos Grill 2 Go has one longer burner which means you have to heat the entire unit) The only improvement I can suggest on the Road Trip Grill is that it needs a way to drain the water tray. Gets a little messy if you happen to put more water in tray than needed. I still wouldn't trade my Coleman Road Trip Grill for a Thermos Grill

Perfect grill for tailgating
I bought the Coleman RoadTrip Grill last summer to replace my 20-year old portable CharBroil gas grill. I spent quite a bit of time researching both the Coleman grill and the CharBroil/Thermos Grill2Go. I chose the Coleman because of it's versatility. I purchased the optional carrying case, stove grate, and additional grill section to go along with the grill section and griddle section that came with the unit. It's easy to light and stays lit on windy days. Cleanup is a breeze since almost every surface is porcelain enamel or non-stick coated. I use it almost exclusively for tailgating and get lots of questions about it at the stadium. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

Great Grill

This is the absolute Best Grill on the market. An all NEW ingenious design that will change the traditional cumbersome gas grill as we know it!

Bought one for my son as a new home warming gift....I have had one for two months! Its is AWESOME.

I did my homework...and looked at all of the competion..including the Q-Grill................cant stand in the same backyard. The griddle and Grill combo is fabulous and the ingenious design for the water tank to catch grease and two burner operation...is a killer...

Buy their stock!

Everything they said it was
Used it first on a camping trip. Then, after we got back, cooked breakfast outdoors on a cold Wisconsin morning. This baby did what it's supposed to, and I couldn't be happier. I got an extra griddle surface and two stove grates, so keep that in mind. I don't think the grill is complete as sold, you do need the extra surfaces. At least, I did.

Best performance was a full breakfast on a cold Wisconsin morning, near freezing, wind blowing. I cooked bacon, hashbrowns, and scrambled a dozen eggs in a large skillet. Then I kept the pancakes coming while we started eating. Griddles were being exchanged for stove grates, and back again. Under tough, heat-stealing conditions everything cooked fast. I did up about 20 strips of bacon, 9 hash brown patties, and the dozen eggs with ease. Then the pancakes came off quickly and smoothly as an added breakfast bonus.

You try scrambling a dozen eggs at once, temperature near freezing, wind blowing, huge skillet, on any other camp stove. If you can, let me know.

A Tailgaters Delight
I cannot say enough about this product. It is absolutely great for tailgating or any other activity where you want a grill on the go. During this past football season, we on average cooked 50-75 bratwursts and hotdogs. The grill holds about 30 at one time, so in no time you can make sure to get everyone fed. The grill is reliable, easy to set-up and breakdown, and heats up immediately. The electric start is also a huge bonus, especially in windy situations.

Couple of notes:
The grill comes standard with a grill and a griddle, but if you are into serious grilling then I recommend you can purchase a separate grill to replace the griddle for more grilling area. Second, Coleman sells a carrying/rolling case which is a must have for tailgating/camping. The case lets you pack everything into a small compact set and keeps your car clean when transporting. Finally, if you are seriously into grilling on the go purchase a one-gallon gas tank, the grill is highly efficient and you will get a significant amount of use out of the smaller tank. ...

When navigating the great outdoors with only a backpack to carry supplies, nothing is more important than lightweight and compact gear. With this in mind, Open Country’s portable 12-cup percolator features lightweight aluminum construction and foldable handles. The coffeemaker’s tall cylindrical body measures 8-1/2 by 6 by 5-3/4 inches when ready for transport, and weighs about 12 ounces. A large bail handle arches over the top when unfolded to provide easy transport while an additional wire handle sits low on the canister’s side to facilitate pouring. The percolator’s opening extends slightly to form a small pouring spout. With its 12-cup capacity, this product brews enough coffee for a large group. Solo campers, pairs, or small groups may prefer the 5-cup percolator also available. Made in the United States, this pot comes complete with use and care instructions. -- Amy Arnold ... Read more

Coleman Comfort Bed is a winner
I purchased this after my husband and I had decided to "save up" for a spendy "select comfort" bed - as our old memory foam bed had "bit the dust". We've been using it about 8? months now - and purchased it at local retailer. We've had a couple leaks (mostly slow leaks) and have slept on it every night for these past 8 months or so - and not had any complaints - considering it is an airbed. We use a "memory foam" mattress pad on top for added "comfort" - but otherwise it is very nice - best nights sleep we've had in a long time - even before when we had the memory foam mattress - dual chambers are great - and it really works well for those who are prone to dust mite allergies as it can be easily wiped down with cleaning solution often and made back up. Inflating works well with our electrolux vacuum - less than 3 minutes and we're good - and we really only have to add air maybe once a month - and the VLP (vinyl liquid repair) works if we discover a small leak. We're not sure we want a select comfort now - maybe another one of these in a few months - as there does get to be a "dip" sort of after a while in each side - but nothing like a regular mattress gets after a while - and we use it on a regular box spring - for height purposes. Hope this helps everyone. The only reason I gave it 4 vs. 5 stars is because I don't like the fact that we don't have a "controller" to inflate it more or adjust the level of air in each chamber - but I guess that's what the other 800-900 dollars is for on the select comfort! (PS: We both have bad backs and the chiropractor can't believe we get a good nights rest on this bed - but is impressed with how well we do with it!) <br /> <br /> Oh - I forgot to mention - we sometimes take it with us when we go to stay at relatives etc. so we can have our "own" bed like at home and not have to deal with inferior beds. And the dual chambers do work like they should - limiting transfer of body movement and heat - and to avoid "vinyl squeaking" from the mattress against the boxspring we have just used a flannel blanket to "buffer" - otherwise it would make noise everytime you roll over - but doesn't with this little trick.

Comfrot Control is lacking in comfort
Bought this product for my sister and my brother in law, was optimistic abt the fact that it had two independent chambers so that my 250lber brother in law and my 100lber sister could have a restful sleep over the holiday seasons. The independent chambers are hard to operate with less than intuitive instructions. The chambers were not truly independet because the second chamber shared with the first chamber a portion of the side/head/leg rest.....Moreover, the darn thing leaked in the morning, so my poor sister was virtually sleeping on the hardwood floor by the morning. This is definetely the last Coleman air bed purchase for us.

I'd buy more and more of these
I purchased the coleman bed after reading the reviews on this site. I was more than impressed after using it more than once. The two air chambers is an excellent idea and the double valve helps so air does not get out when you are finished blowing it up.

Two (air chambers) are better than one!
I can hardly believe it's taken so long for someone to produce a two-chambered air mattress! (I must admit, the bright idea hadn't come to me either.)

I was thrilled to find one at my local retailer. Here's why: I am 6+ feet tall, closing in on 290 lbs, and have an internal heater that just doesn't quit. My wife is 5'4", weighs less than half of me, and tends to pile on the blankets. On conventional air mattresses, when I climb aboard, my wife is usually launched into orbit off the other side. The single air-chamber models mean we share body heat, which doesn't work particularly well temperature wise for either of us. Both of these issues are solved with two air chambers - I roast only myself, and my involuntary mid-night movements don't rattle the little lady. I should also mention that the dual-chamber design reduces the amount of movement one feels from the other side of the mattress significantly.

As far as construction quality, the mattress didn't seem to lose any air over a seven-night stay - yes, our guests got the "real" mattress. (Thanks hon.) This might just be the best portable imitation of a Select-Comfort mattress. It certainly seems to be the next best thing, and is the most comfortable portable/camping air-mattress I've ever slept on... by a wide margin!

coleman air bed
I purchased 3 coleman airbeds for my sister and her family of five. 2 of them were 1/3 full by the next morning. It was also a pain trying to inflate this thing, the thing kept on leaking after I pull out the pump from its valves, I much prefer the ones with a built-in air pump, I used them before at my friends place, they were much better at holding air and operations......Maybe I was just unlucky, but this is the last time I buy another air mattress under the Coleman brand. ...

It takes a huge amount of oil to deep-fry and it's a shame tothrow it all away afterward. However, you can filter out any foodparticles and reuse oil as long as it's stored properly to avoidspoiling and reheated to a minimum of 350 degrees F for sterilization.Eastman Outdoors' cooking-oil filter pump takes the mess out of thefiltering process as there is no risk of spillage. Shaped like a longwand, the pump is 27-1/2 inches long so it can reach oil at the bottomof the tallest stockpots. Running off of three D batteries, the pumpsiphons leftover oil from your cooking pot into a storage container viaa 26-inch-long plastic tube. A filter within the pump ensures that anybits of food or seasoning that could potentially taint the oil are leftbehind. The pump comes with three replacement filters but batteriesmust be purchased separately. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Great Idea. Too bad it does not work!
I tried using this thing and it barely pumped out oil and then it fell apart in the oil. I junked it and dumped the oil. I wish it did work but it was a disaster. Eastman needs to go back to the drawing board on this one.

1 hit wonder
Congratulations to those who wrote to say this product worked two or three times for them. It worked once for me. At $30, this might be the worst purchase I have ever made.

JUNK PLASTIC AT BEST !!
This unit comes with only 3 filters. Now I know why, it is such a piece of junk that you will never get it to work 3 times for you. I bought it new, it worked the fist time, and although it did the job I wasn't very impressed with its performance, the second time I used it, it stopped working half way through the job for no apparent reason, new batteries and an hour of messing around with it could not bring it back to life, it was dead! Thats alot of money for an item that doesn't last through draining my turkey fryer more than once! It now is stored in its proper container where it belongs and will stay forever (my garbage can).

PUMP BROKE
After pumpimg less than three pots of oil the pump stopped running. I discovered one of the commutator contacts burnt up and the other close to failure. A total of about 30 mintes of run time before failure. Not very durable !!

Only lasted one use....
Good while it worked, but like someone else said, died on the second use. Maybe there is a reason they only supply 3 filters, if you get that many times you are doing well. Good idea, poorly done. ... Read more

As an electrician in a hospital I work in areas where a flashlight is a must. A headlamp is the obvious answer.

Good Overall, One Inspection Short of Five Stars
Good materials and a highly useable design. Not for cold weather, but definitely a good utility bag for camping and around the house. On the down side, the ends of a couple of seams at the top of the bag were poorly finished, looking more appropriate for a bag of potatoes than a sleeping bag. A needle, thread and thirty minutes later the seam ends -- which should have been rejected my Coleman's inspection process -- were reinforced, and I now expect the bag to provide years of trouble-free service. ...

Like a ready-made bed in a box, the Aero Comfort Camp Bed is suitable for overnight guests, backyard sleep-outs, and casual camping. The bed is actually two separate pieces--a heavy-duty inflatable mattress and a custom-fit nylon-shell sleeping bag. Aero makes the mattress from 18-gauge PVC for indoor/outdoor durability and uses a coil construction for stability and comfort. Stuffed with three pounds of poly fiber fill, the sleeping bag wraps tidily onto the mattress and is designed to keep you warm in temperatures as low as 40 degrees F. A built-in pillow simplifies matters further. Designed for quick and cordless set-up, the bed uses a rechargeable Ni-Cd pump to inflate in about a minute and an air-release valve to deflate in 30 seconds. The pump recharges fully in 12 hours and fills the mattress about ten times on a single charge. Generously sized for a single sleeper, the mattress measures 81 by 41 by 5 inches and supports up to 400 pounds. Aero includes a charger for the pump, a tidy storage sack,a simple repair kit, and a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Bright, Brazilian, handwoven, soft, and intricately made: you can't find many things in life that afford so much goodness in one fell swoop--or, rather, sway. The Bossa Nova is yet another exquisite hammock in the Omni Brazilian collection. The 8-foot-long, 5-1/2-foot-wide cloth bed is plenty big enough for two to share in comfort. The 12-foot tough cords used for attachment and reinforced loop ends should hold up to years of reclining between the trees. All you'll need is some rope to tie the hammock up and, of course, two trees or posts.

The fabric is a sturdy weave, but soft enough to feel good against your skin for hours of summer relaxation. Unlike net hammocks, this one won't imprint a crisscross pattern on your skin after a long, lazy nap. This Brazilian design includes decorative crochet fringes hanging down from the sides, which add an inviting touch of style to the Bossa Nova's appearance. The price is right; the midafternoon floating is, well, dreamy. ... Read more

One negative point about the hammock
I rated this hammock with four stars. Overall I really like my hammock. I like the feel of the hammock, the size of the hammock, and the nice crochet art work. I rated this hammock with four stars due to the fact it has no spreaders. I would like this hammock even more if it had spreaders.

HOW TO LIE IN YOUR HAMMOCK
R.E. review in how to lie in your hammock.
The feeling of being engulfed in the hammock is actually an asset. The extra material in the hammock is to allow the user to stretch out comfortably. The traditional hammocks do not use a spreader bar to open the hammock up but rather use the object in it, namely you. A traditional hammock is meant to be lain in at a diagonal. This opens the hammock up considerably and flattens the curve of the hammock out. Try it. You have much more space and stability than a spreader bar hammock and he comfort is unsurpassed.

country cottage
This brings old world charm,and a touch of class
to your garden.

Great-looking!
Looks aren't everything, though...this is a beautiful hammock, but a single person using it is just engulfed in it as it folds up with their body weight! No crossbars on the ends to keep the hammock open, which makes it difficult to use at best. We're novice hammock users, so don't know if there's a trick to this or not. If there is, we haven't yet figured it out.
