  1. BEST CAMP STOVE
    Eureka Ignite Plus $145
    Make a veritable camp-
    ground feast with the
    Ignite Plus. The massive
    surface accommodates
    two 12-inch pans and sits
    flat, thanks to legs that

screw in and out individ-
ually. Firing up with the
press of a button, the pro-
pane stove is slower than
some at boiling water but
excels at low temps, nicely
sautéing mushrooms in
our comparison test.


  1. BEST CAMP CHAIR
    GCI Kickback Rocker $50
    GCI has staked its claim
    as the king of camp com-
    fort with its Rocker line of
    chairs. And the Kickback
    is the current standout,
    striking a good height bal-
    ance for tall and short
    people. Pistons on the
    back legs provide an easy
    rocking motion but pre-
    vent the chair from folding
    down very small. That
    shouldn’t be a problem,
    though, when you’re tak-
    ing it out for car camping,
    cheering from the side-
    line of your kids’ game, or
    lounging in the backyard.

  2. BEST SOFT COOLER
    Ye t i H o p p e r M 3 0 $300
    The cavernous Hopper
    M30 (it fit 12 cans and 11


pounds of ice with room to
spare) is worth the signifi-
cant cost if keeping things
as cold as possible is your
top priority. The magnet-
and-buckle closure system
and closed-cell foam insu-
lation sealed in the chill.
Afetr spending eight hours
in the ice-filled soft cooler,
cans emerged an average
of 3.5 degrees colder than
those from a competing
model of the same size.
