I have a couple of battery operated lanterns.  I also carry a mag light.  Very bright and you can adjust the beam.  I also have a propane lantern. 

Where do you find the lantern with the remote?  I've never seen one of those.

I actually have 2 of the remote lanterns. I told you I loved them! I have one for each side of the trailer for when I take 2 horses. Just bought another one as a gift for a friend - I'm really on a roll with these things! 2 brands: Green Mountain and 7 Summits. They are identical, I'm sure from the same mold with different labels slapped on. They run on 4 D cell batteries(not included) and one 3V Lithium(included) for the remote. The gift one still has the price on it - $16.99. Oh, and it's waterproof. I'm pretty sure I've seen a Coleman remote lantern too.

Jakey1 - About my having "all the bells and whistles"....My husband likes to frequent hardware stores. In the interest of marital harmony I accompany him, then I sneak off to the camping section. Can I help it if I find stuff to buy? LOL

gemm, you're a girl after my own heart!.. When my hubby spends hours in the fishing department at Cabellas, I'm wandering around the camping section. 

Do you have any more info on those two brands of lanterns?  If you check the lighting section of the Coleman website, there are several remote lanterns listed, but all are more money than the one you mentioned, and also take 8 D cell batteries not 4.

Check this one out.

Dang, now that stove/oven from Cabela's is cute! I'm only 70 miles from Cabela's. I'll have to check that out next time I'm there.

How do ya'll wash your dishes if you don't have LQs with sinks and hot water? We camp in the Black Hills. The past several years have been so dry that I hate to start a fire and my husband doesn't argue. I suppose if I wanted hot water, I wouldn't have much of a choice but to start a fire. Any other ideas? Right now, I don't cook period. We either eat locally at a tourist trap or eat packable, no-cook food.

That Cabelas stove looks pretty neet, but I wonder how it would work out on the picnic table?  I just bought a propane stainless camp stove where the lid and wings protect the flame from the wind.  It is compact and stores nicely under my sink.

Sure, duh.........why didn't I think of that?   

We have a camp stove, brand new and still in the box. Maybe I should break that baby open. We're going horse camping this weekend.

I used to keep an old cook pot in the trailer just for heating bath water. We called them bird baths but at least we were clean. A metal coffee can works too.

Baby wipes are very handy and if you don't want to smell like a baby, Lever makes some nice grown up ones. I keep wipes in my truck and in the trailer. I use them on the dog, horses, just about every thing. One of my friends was stuck in traffic and cleaned the inside of her car with them while she was there.

Gemm - You are so right about the weight of the shower bags. We never bought the actual bags. I got some of those 5 gal collapsable jugs from WallyWorld. I already had an old over the faucet type shower for the pets(never used it anymore). I got some of those left over milk crates from college. Viola, Shower with handles. I did have to have some help getting it on top of the trailer but it never crawled off like the bags will when they get low. One buddy put some hooks in the back of his 2 horse just to hang the shower. We have seen some very creative things over the years. I made a shower stall from pvc pipe that could be collapsed into 2 sections for storage. Just hang some real shower curtains on it. If you are camping for a long time, just move it so there is no mud puddle to deal with.

I am soooooooooooooooooooo glad we have LQ now. I think we paid our dues.
