Contents at a Glance
[1] Rain-or-Shine Shield
Car Tarp
Rain should never keep you confined to the tent, and a crushing desert sun needn't sap your energy. A tarp protects you, your gear, and your food from the wet and UV rays.I like : The light and easy-to-set-up Big Agnes Twin Butte Car Tarp, because it attaches directly to your car's roof rack or can be set up on its own as a lean-to-style sunshade.

[2] Hot Shower
Camping Solar Shower
Hang a solar shower from your roof rack in the morning and by the end of a hot day it's ready to take on whatever dirt you've brought back to camp with you. It will also save you having to dig for quarters you would otherwise pump into the waterworks at a developed campground.I like: Seattle Sports Camp Shower. It's tough, looks the part, and provides up to seven minutes' worth of flow.

[3] The Fridge
Coleman 54-Quart Stainless Steel Belted Cooler
The Fridge A cooler should always be sturdy enough to double as a kitchen counter or even an extra seat.I like:Coleman 54-Quart Stainless Steel Belted Cooler. You'll own this bomb-proof portable
freezer for the rest of your life. It's heavy, but the beefed-up insulation will keep ice solid for three days at temps up to 100 degrees.

[4] Sit In Style
Coleman Portable Deck Chair with Table
Camping needn't take place entirely at ground level.I like: Coleman Portable Deck Chair with Table. Hardy enough for the back-country, small and light enough to pack easily in the trunk, and stylish enough for a caipirinha party on your back deck.

Gibbon Slackline Kit
A slackline - the improvised low-lying tightrope popular with climbers - is a great campsite pastime for mortals too.I like: Gibbon Slackline Kit. No complicated knots and the 49 foot line is two inches wide, perfect for beginners.

[6] Space Saver
Yakima SkyBox LoPro
A rooftop box can reduce gas mileage by up to 20 percent, but the storage space is a necessity if you have a smaller car. Keep key camping items stored in it all year round and you'll have just one item to pack instead of a dozen.I like: Yakima SkyBox LoPro Titanium, for its streamlined design and fuel economy, as well as its easy installation. The coup de grace? A solar-powered light makes it easy to unpack when you roll into camp in the dark.

[7] Sleep System
Grab a sleeping bag with the new, more accurate temperature-rating system and a next-generation camping mat. These days mats provide as much comfort as an old-school air mattress but can take 10 times the abuse.
I like: The Marmot Pinnacle Sleeping Bag and Exped's DownMat 7 Pump Mat. The 800-fill, 15
degree Pinnacle is as suited to car camping as it is to the back-country because of its warmth-to-weight ratio; the down inside the 7 Pump mat insulates better.

[8] Lounger
Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Hammock
Hammocks are great for a nap or even overnight sleep because you can't roll off of them like you can an air mattress.I like: Eagles Nest Outfitter's DoubleNest Hammock. It packs down into a fist-size 22-ounce
stuff sack and fits two.

[9] Organizers
Kelty Binto Boxes and Haulers
At home, keep gear stored in color-coded bags so you know exactly what you're reaching forwhen it's time to pack.
I like: Kelty Binto Boxes and Haulers. These small, soft, 1,400-cubic-inch boxes each hold gear for one activity, be it your kitchen utensils or climbing rack. The main hauler keeps the Bintos organized in your trunk.

[10] Home Dome
Kelty Shiro 4
A base-camp tent should have enough room to not only sleep your group but to also stash your gear. Using your car's trunk as storage is counterproductive, since you often need to unpack half of your stuff to get to the rest.I like: Kelty Shiro 4. This huge (70 square feet!) three-"room" shelter sleeps four, and its
two side rooms include removable sleeping compartments. The six-foot-six-inch-high middle
room is big enough to store gear and even work on bikes.
