Re: [RC] Camping on the cheap: suggestions? - Kirk and Tara Rothwell
Coffee is a problem. I have all kinds of stoves-
coleman 2 burner, whispher lite backpacking and a french press. don't use
it. I am not much of a morning person and getting up and making coffe at 5 am
outside in the dark is definitely out. I have a nice steel (?aluminum) thermos
that I got from REI I make coffee before I leave and put it in there. Its hot
and great the next morning without any fuss....

Congrats on the new rig! I'm sure you will get input from more
experienced campers but I had to chime in as it is my most favorite thing to
do with my horse! Don't waste your time or money on a tent! I got
a great roll up hammock from EMS (29.95, I believe), hang it between two trees
or in the trailer if raining. I love to sleep out with the horses,
sometimes wake to find them nestled down right next to me or with their nose
nuzzling my ear (gives me goosebumps;-) The rest of my gear I got from
ebay, really cheap. I think I paid 20.00 for my camp stove which is
going on its 5th year. Alot depends on what kind of camping you want to
do. If you are going to drive your rig there and stay, going out for day
trips only, its alot simpler and thats what I recommend for someone new to
horse camping. Think water, fire, food, shelter. Have
fun. Maybe see you in camp one of these days! Jennifer (returning

Fiunally!
My trailer has arrived! I pick it up a week from Saturday! So I hope to
make it to an LD ride or two this year! Now that the trailer hurdle has
been conquered, next is the camping issue. I have *NO* camping gear, and
want to invest as little as possible this first year (may not have time
or horse to stay in endurance). My thoughts are to get a truck-tent
(about $180) and an air mattress. Any suggestions/ recommendations
on makes, models or sources? Also need something to make coffee - I can
eat out of a cooler, but I GOTTA have coffee - any portable stove
recommendations? Or a coffee pot that plugs into the cigarette
lighter? Any of you have any used camping equipment you'd like to
unload?
Thanks!
