THE CAMPING EQUIPMENT DEALS THREAD!

[Dustin da DnB Soulja]

Did you ever find a resolution to your canopy situation?

And this is a great deal! I got a screenhouse from WalMart last year for $60, and now I feel like I got ripped off.

I have a couple of friends who i'll be caravaning in with... saddest part is I'm more scared they will flake than other people caravaning in this board and i've never met them bwhahaha.

If you want absolutely hassle free, you could buy from Walmart.com, site to store, pick it up on your way to the fields, then return it on your way out.

If I don't get robbed, and spend what I plan on I would have some extra to buy some used camping equipment.

Haha, well here's hoping you don't get robbed, but I might try that Walmart return idea. I was wondering if I could "rent" one, if they charge me any kind of restocking fee I will consider that my rental amount.

That is kind of sad. hahah! Here's hoping that they don't flake!

WalMart takes anything back. My ex borrowed my screenhouse this past summer, and his drunk friends got into a condiment fight. Ended up with ketchup, mustard and marinara sauce all over the screenhouse. He went to WalMart and bought a new one, then repackaged the old one. Returned it with no problems. (I feel kinda guilty about it.)

Wow, that's pretty amazing. Looks like this will be the plan, then - and I don't even have to worry about collateral condiment damage!

That's not necessarily true.

Well, I'm not r.... .. wait, are we talking about Mayonnaise?

Kelty Shadehouse 2010 on sale for $89.95.
Only 12 lbs., so good option if you're flying gear in (as I am).

Note to self:
1. Go to Costco.
2. Buy condiments in bulk for Coachella.
3. Find Fourthisto's camp site.

^ regularly $225 according to Kelty website; nice deal. And aluminum poles. and it's 9 x 11, which is perfect. Think about the accessory shade wall, or just rig a sheet. I tried something similar last year (nowhere near as nice) and it shaded the neighboring spot more than mine most of the time. And the cheap fiberglass poles broke, like 80% of the reviews mentioned. It was cheap.

Shadewalls out of stock at Kelty but other places have them - I saw $19.95 at Backcountry.

edit:I just ordered the shelter from Kelty (free shipping!) and 2 shade panels from Backcountry Edge. Thanks fluffhead!

Big 5 has this Coleman 2-Burner Fold 'N Go InstaStart Stoves on sale for $69.00 - cheapest I've seen. Plus you can go to the Big 5 website and get a 10% coupon before you shop to bring it down even cheaper.

I picked one up yesterday and it is nice.
I'm a long time desert dweller, and while this is not really a camping product, i think you should consider bringing some electrolyte powder like Gatorade G2 - add half a pack to your bottle of water once per day and it goes a long way toward keeping your energy levels high.

They also have small propane burners at Harbor Freight for 9.99 as I posted earlier and you get the 2 pack of propane tanks from Walmart for $5, I'm gonna get like 2 packs, so 4 cans of propane should last me perfectly.

Very good thinking, that's why I'm going to bring a case of Brawndo. It's got electrolytes. It's got what plants crave.

Fuck that water, or whatever that liquid is in toilets.

No problem, man. I found the shade panels on Amazon for $17.95, but they're almost out of stock now - no idea if there are any more on the way.

Don't buy that gas burner. What are you going to cook? Baked beans, eggs, chopped glazed onions?



This is what you get. Standard, simple, will last forever.
4 burgers and two hot dogs

3 burgers and two buns

1 long carne asada flank

9 hot dogs

2 corn, 4 hot dogs

Gives you an idea of what it can handle at a time.

I have been trying to find one of those big parachutes(like you used to play ins in elementary school) so we can have some fun drinking/playing in he campground . You know where people each grab an end, and then get air underneath it and you have a dome for a few minutes.anyone know where you can buy a crappy one or have one?

Bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches / Gorgonzola cream sauce with smoked salmon pasta / Potato and Sausage Burros / Caramelized Onion and Parmesan Bruschetta / Salami Tomato Bruschetta / Potato, bacon and chile Quesadillas / Pasta Puttenesca with Sausage / Wild blueberry Pancakes, sausage

What? Why?
You're just going to return it after.
Just make sure you keep the box it comes in in good condition.

[Fourthisto]

That's what I'm talking about. I'm going to be so buzzed on Brawndo the entire time that the music I hear isn't really going to register over my internal humming. That stuff is like liquid electricity.

Vogina, your avatar fools me EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME.

Yeah, me too. I keep reaching for a piece of paper to smush the nasty gnat on the screen, when suddenly I go... "Oh... right. Thanks vogina."

Fine, fine. Bring it on. Condiment Wars '11 is back on!!!

I think it was $140

[djbionik]

I don't know if anyone uses the Save Benji's app for iphone, but I used it to get a killer deal on an EZ up with side panel for $60 at Sears! Yayerrr! Traded the screened Coleman one for this one. Hope I made the right choice.

P.S. I bought a new car today. one of the priorities was, 'can all my stuff for coachella fit?' hahahahahahah

Pics or it didn't happen!
