Re: [RC] Camping on the cheap: suggestions? - Jennifer Judkins

Oh come now.  Coffee is the easiest thing.  Just get an aluminum percolator, 2..99 at walmart.  Put water and coffee in the night before.  All you have to do in the am is light the stove and leave it while you feed the horses. You can almost do it with your eyes closed!  Jennifer

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 to lurk mode)

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!
