Camping Xmas presents

[troutsprout]

Humour me... I'm laid up after a back op....I am very bored.
What is Santa bringing you?and/or what are you going to get for someone else?
I got Dh a fire starter kit last year
Might get ds one of those survival sets in tins
I think dd might like her own lantern.
Ideas please.

Biggest success for me this year was a headtorch!

Good one... Might get Dh a new one as our old one broke .
I think ds (15) might like this

If you have a camp fire look at pie irons, campfire grills, grandpa's toasting forks and other campfire paraphanalia. A fire steel will keep an older child / young teen occupied for ages trying to light a fire.

I would like a pie iron, but can't decide which sort to get. And no one is offering to buy me one, anyway.

And just in time for Christmas, CoolboxesUK are offering a free post and packing discount until Jan 1st!

A shower friend!

(if you havnt already got one) They keep the button pressed in on campsite/swimming showers so you dont have to keep pressing the button :)

Ooh more replies
I just looked at pie iron website Blu... Lovely things.
I have never heard of a shower friend... What a good idea ! ...(although camping showers supposed to be rubbish surely... Otherwise it's not real camping)

I want one of these having seen it on a thread complaining (rightly) about hideous bucket sized free gift SportsDirect mugs.

I like the folding handle and light weight, and the fact that it can go on the stove, and is made of titanium. Cooool!

travel towel
flint and steel
silk bag liner
thermarest compressible pillow
wide-based insulated mug with lid

What ab out a remote control lantern?

Are these useful at all? (except at festivals)

Ooh yes... I like the functional look of that cup Blu ... (Plus it comes it its own lickle bag )
Thermorest pillow ... I think I need one of those. I am tired of using all sorts of things folded over for a pillow
Never tried rc lantern... Tend to use a few little lanterns rather than one big one .
