Coghlan’s Camper’s Kit in a Bottle is just what you need in these tough economic times, if you want to go camping but don’t want to break the bank buying all of the camping accessories. We checked it out for you to see if it’s something you really want to check out.

The Camper’s Kit in a Bottle includes: 1 liter shatter resistant polycarbonate bottle with carabiner attached, camper’s multi-tool, sheath, flashlight, first aid kit pack (includes first aid guide, multi sized bandages, gauze pads, alcohol pad, moleskin, travel towel and steel needle) and a poncho.

We’re always on the lookout for MP3 speakers, so we had a chance to check out this one from Seattle Sports Co. “Activetrax On the go audio”. It’s designed for camping situations and features AM/FM, weatherband and also serves as an MP3 speaker. It comes with it’s own protective case and can operate by either solar or crank power. So it would seem to be ideal for camping.

As an MP3 speaker, it does the job, but don’t expect high quality sound. It gets pretty loud, but as with most of these type of speakers, the louder you crank it, the more sound problems you have.

Say you’re a rebel stationed on the ice planet Hoth. You venture from the safety of Echo base to find your missing friend. You’re locked out because they secure the base at night. So, you find your friend and he’s injured.

You have two options: Either slice open the belly of a Tauntaun and put your friend in it’s warm belly(Ewww!) or warm him up with this Tauntaun sleeping bag. I vote the sleeping bad, because we all know that Tauntauns smell even worse on the inside.

Camping used to be about getting away from technology and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But most camping gadgets and accessories these days are designed to make sure you still take some technology with you. Like this Coleman Inflatable Mattress. It features built-in speakers, insuring that while you are being one with nature, you also are never far from your tunes.

Just plug in your iPod or CD player and listen. Coleman also makes a model with a built in alarm clock, which is pretty handy if you’ve left your cellphone at home. All of these inflatable mattresses have a 4D pump, which is battery powered and hands free for easy inflation and deflation.

One thing that really makes it difficult when trying to rough-it in a camp site is the noticeable lack of frozen drinks. Sure you have plenty of ice in the cooler, but what if you want to blend up a margarita or other frozen concoction?

Well, it’s a good thing Coleman is looking out for you with their rechargeable blender. This camping gadget is able to blend up a 48 oz pitcher of drinks in about 30 seconds and can mix up as many as 30 pitchers in one charge, which should get most people through a weekend of mixing it up with nature.

The cordless blender has two basic settings: “blending” and “not blending”. It comes in a silver stainless steel finish and the pitcher locks into the base for easy and safe transporting. We’re not sure if it would hold up to blending …
