About american people, and go camping. ¿Is it true that?

A rock climbing sntructur comment to me that "go camping" for americans means, put inside a big truck sleeping bags, tent, car-minirefrigerator (for the beers and cokes), car-minioven(for the pancakes), portable oven, voltaje adapter (in order to recharge the ipod battery and laptop battery), foldable chairs and tables.

Then drive 2 o 3 hours, walk 20 or 30 meters (70 yards) away from the truck, and settle the tent.

is it true, or that just happen with rich families that "go camping" ?

Answer
Somewhat true, but many of us "Car Camp" with primitive equipment. Tents, Ice coolers for food, Gas lanterns. We are in many areas, limited to pristine campgrounds with remote, backpacking campsites. Many of us camp in State Parks with many, many campsites with vehicle access. Basically a parking spot in the woods with a place to set up your tent. Picnic table and fire ring is provided. The campsites may or may not be secluded from the campsite next to yours. There is also a good chance that a huge Motor-home may pull into the site next to yours and string Christmas lights up and run an air condition or a generator . Not what I consider camping. There are many National Parks with pack packing and mountain climbing, but unless you live close or plan to travel three days to get there, we don't get to enjoy that luxury.

What is the safest, easiest camp stove or burner?

Rochelle

After Sandy, I'm getting more serious about emergency equipment. What is your favorite, (and safest) camp stove or burner? And, where do I get it?
Thanks for any help.

Answer
I have a couple of one-burner ones that run on cans of butane, cans about the size of the average aerosol can. They're not particularly compact, but they are easy to operate, cheap to buy, big enough to sit an average saucepan or frypan on, and easy to store the fuel for. I don't remember the make, but they seem to be sold almost everywhere camping stuff is sold, and so are the cans of fuel. A can of the fuel seems to last for about 4 hours of average cooking. They come in a black plastic carrying case. Mine haven't had a lot of use but I've had one of them for at least 10 years and it's still working fine. This kind: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Butane-Stove-Camping-Burner/dp/B000RA8V1S

You'll want to be sure you have some kind of non-combustible surface to use it on, though I have used mine on picnic tables with no problem. A baking sheet turned upside down would work well, if you plan to use it on a countertop or on a kitchen table, or use one over your stove burners to give a level surface for the camp stove.

My next choice would be a two-burner Coleman stove.
