What's in your camping box?

Let me just start off by saying I am not an expert hiker/camper/backpacker. I just know that I spent hours searching for the best products, in my budget, that were available when I wanted them, and being of a high quality.

I have always been a "quality over quantity" person. I continue to purchase products, whether it be my clothes, gadgets, etc., that may not be the best decision financially, but that I know are going to last me a long time.

I wanted to share with everyone the items that I have in my "box" of camping gear. I know that you will not buy everything I have, everyone has their own personal preferences on brands or whatever the case may be. The products I am listing here are what works for me... maybe they'd work for you too!

ALSO, disclaimer... if I were to shop at one store for the rest of my life, it would be REI. So, most things that I post here are available at your local REI either in store or online.
