Camping/outdoor discount gear website?
A little while back I was told about a website where they put up deals on primarily outdoor/camping gear and equipment for about 15-20 minutes at a time at incredibly discounted rates. Now I can not remember for the life of me what the website was. Does anyone know of a website like this? I want to say it started with an ‘s’ but don’t take that as gospel!
Any thoughts?!
Not to worry – I have figured it out – steepandcheap.com
Thanks anyway!
Martin answers:
I have had much better luck with geartrade.com than steepandcheap. I would highly recommend it, as I have gotten a lot of high-end and mid-range gear at up to 75%+ off.
Michael asks…
What equipment do we really need to go camping?
My husband, son (8 months) and I are going camping later this month, for three days. We have a tent, a canopy, an air-mattress, a lamp, sleeping bags and we’re going to buy one of those camping stoves. For our son, we have his pack-n-play. What else should we buy? It’s our first real outdoor tent-camping experience.
Martin answers:
I’m going to advise you bring a first aid kit, lots of flashlights, warm clothes and that you have some way of keeping your child contained within a certain area. At 8 months he probably can crawl. All you need is to be wrestling with the tent and then, “Honey, wheres Johnny?” Be very prepared and safety oriented. Have fun!
Helen asks…
Outdoor/camping brands?
I am going on my first archaeological dig with my school this summer, I am starting to research the equipment that I will need to figure out how much it will cost me. Does any one know what the best brands are for outdoor equipment? I am going to be out there for 6 weeks so I don’t want to cut corners on the important stuff but I am also on a small budget.

I love Kelty products. And I buy most of my gear from Campmor.
Lizzie asks…
Fun things to do when winter tent camping?
we have a trip with our camping tent and other outdoor equipment, so we want some suggestion about any funny things to do?
Martin answers:
Hi Doris, Funny things to do? If you’re going to be in snow country build a snow creature, make weird snow angels. Other snow activities include taking a snow shoe hike, ice fishing, identifying and following wild animal tracks or cross country ski. Fun things to do would be star gazing, campfire stories and songs, take a hike. Full moon snow shoeing or cross country skiing is a lot of fun too.
