Online Camping Gear stores

2009-07-30T22:09:00.000-07:00

One of the newest trends in eCommerce web hosting are online camping gear stores. The reason that these types of business websites are so popular is because they reduce the overall cost to run the camping gear store. A lot of online camping gear stores don’t have physical locations thus they are able to keep their prices cheap! Add those factors with the cost of cheap web hosting these days, and having an online camping gear store is a viable option. One of Best Camping Gear Reviews favorite eCommerce web hosting companies is BlueHost. They offer great packages that will help you with any type of online store.

Enough of the technical stuff for online camping gears stores, how about a few of the best online camping gear stores!

Cabelas is a great site to check out. They are so big that they actually are able to have both physical locations and online sales. Their prices are very competitive when it comes to camping gear. They carry all types of camping gear including Kelty tents.

Glock guns

2009-07-10T17:52:00.000-07:00

Glock guns.....what the heck are you talking about, this is a camping gear blog! That's right it is, but there are two reasons why I'm talking about Glock guns tonight. First, I'm a cop and you can't take the police gear out of me! Secondly, Glock guns are very popular among hunters and campers. So for the latter reason, I'm going to profile the Glock guns a little and tell you how to find a good store to buy your Glock from.

Glocks have been around for a while and are very popular among police officers. They are very accurate and relaible. With those two reasons they are also popular among campers and hunters. While you might not want to think the campers in the next site over from you are carrying a gun, they might be for safety reasons. You never know when that bear is going to come to your site.

Glocks come in all types of calibers; Glock 40, Glock 9mm, and Glock 45. They come in several different sizes. Some of the most popular Glock guns are the Glock 22, Glock 27, and Glock 30. All of the Glocks are great handguns. If a cop trusts his life with them, shouldn't you trust them on your camping trip?!

Where do you buy a Glock gun at? Most police equipment stores carry Glock handguns. When buying a Glock, make sure you do it legally. There are fees to registering guns and if they advertise no fees it isn't a legal registration. Also, don't buy a used gun unless you know the person. Used guns can only be problems.

Cheap Camping Gear

2009-06-13T19:53:00.000-07:00

Best Camping Gear Reviews has written this article on cheap camping gear that you can find at your local camping gear store. While used camping gear is a good alternative, we are going to concentrate on new cheap camping gear. Here is our top 3 list of cheap camping gear!

1) Maglite flashlights

The Maglite 4 D flashlight is a cheap flashlight, yet very durable and reliable. It is powered off of 4 D cell batteries and produces a good light. A lot of police officers use the Maglite flashlights as police gear. The Maglite flashlights start at about $20.00.

2) Motorola 2 way radios

The Motorola 2 way radios are a great way to stay in contact with your fellow campers. Kids love to play with them and the adults love to know where their kids are at all times! The Motorola 2 way radios start at about $25.00.

3) Coleman coolers

Why not use the best camping cooler when you go camping! Coleman coolers are some of the best coolers and keep your food the coldest! There are many different styles of Coleman coolers and they start at about $29.00.

Best Camping Gear Reviews hopes you enjoyed this article on cheap camping gear and save some money the next time you visit your local camping gear store!

You never know when you are going to be on a hiking trip and encounter a bear. Most people don’t own Glock guns or don’t like to carry guns so this repellant spray is perfect. We guess you could try hitting it with your TaylorMade R9, but you better have a fast club head swing! Check them out before you pass judgement!

Coleman Lanterns

2009-05-24T22:02:00.000-07:00

Best Camping Gear Reviews is going to start mixing in some camping gear reviews on our camping gear store directory. Why not profile some of the best camping gear on the site that is helping you find the best camping equipment! Best Camping Gear Reviews thinks this is going to be a great addition to our already popular camping gear store directory. The first piece of camping gear that we are going to profile are the Coleman lanterns.

As everybody already knows, Coleman makes some of the best camping gear. Whether it is the Coleman tents, Coleman coolers, or Coleman lanterns, you know that you are going to get some of the best camping gear because it has the Coleman name on it!

Coleman makes four main types of camping lanterns- battery lanterns, propane lanterns, liquid fuel lanterns, and kerosene lanterns. Obviously battery lanterns are powered by D cell batteries. They range in price from $15.00 to $65.00. Propane lanterns are some of the most consistent lanterns. With the special Coleman pressure regulator, controlling the flow of propane is easy. Coleman propane lanterns cost between $20.00 and $90.00. Liquid fuel lanterns are powered by either gasoline or Coleman fuel. What makes these so nice are that you can use them with normal gasoline. The Coleman liquid fuel lanterns cost between $65.00 and $110.00. Finally, the Coleman kerosene lanterns are some of the most economical and user friendly camping lanterns you can find! The Coleman kerosene lanterns cost about $85.00.

If you are looking for one of the best camping lanterns, make sure you check out the Coleman Lanterns. Best Camping Gear Reviews highly recommends the Coleman lanterns!
