8-Person Instant Tent

The setup and take down is pretty good, unless the tent is wet. Then you can't dry it out. Everything in between however is suspect. Any rainwater comes in the tent poles have started to come apart the bag doesn't fit. Basically a good idea poorly executed. Full review

Family Cook Set

This set is far too heavy for backpacking purposes, but it is a good set for car camping. I came across this set on clearance at a discount store.

There only two steps to setting up for this stove....fill it up and pump it up. It's very easy to light, just flip the lever and add a spark. At first, you will see a large orange/yellow flame.
