My Coleman Tent And My Dog Are All I Need |
| 3/9/2010 1:14:42 AM |

After a year of solid work, when my vacation time rolls around I am very happy. I grew up in a small town in Alaska, and the outdoors are where I love to be the most. But after finishing college and taking a job in Seattle working sixty hours a week, I only get time once a year. Now the Pacific Northwest has everything and more than I had back home as far as terrain, but... Read More |

I love the new camping cookware that I bought online – and for a great deal at a really cool online store that I found when shopping around the web. I had realized, after looking over my aging collection of camping cookware, that I could really use some new camping cookware so that I could more easily cook the tasty meals that I so desire to eat when on the numerous...

An Outdoor Sport To Remember |
| 3/3/2010 10:27:27 AM |

My Coleman tent, Coleman cooler and camping cookware has been all over the world with me. I am fortunate enough to be able to go to many exotic places and experience many different outdoor sport activities. I was recently in Brazil on my first base jumping trip. I found a fellow online that offers a three week adventure of camping, hiking and base jumping. The pictures and... Read More |

Time to dig out the Coleman cooler |
| 2/17/2010 3:37:41 PM |
 My next door neighbor asked to borrow my Coleman cooler last week-end. Her family was having a birthday picnic at a nearby park to celebrate. I was more than happy to oblige. I went to my storage shed and quickly found my reliable and good-size Coleman cooler. She had her own cooler, but needed another Coleman cooler for her salads and more drinks. Our weather in the...

Camping hiking gear gifts |
| 12/23/2009 10:42:41 AM |
 My brother is really getting into hiking again with his buddies. When he told me this, my mind immediately went to camping hiking gear Christmas gifts. I didn’t have a clue on what to get him, so this piece of news was great. His camping hiking gear is old and worn, so I know he would appreciate some new gear. He, like many of us are on a tight budget, so I know he won’t... Read More |

Enjoying cold soda from my Coleman cooler |
| 12/22/2009 10:52:42 PM |

I love to drink soda, probably more often than I should. It is something I have always had a soft spot for. Whenever I drink a crisp, cold, and deliciously refreshing soda, I think back to the days when my grandfather taught me to like it. Every time I taste a nice cold soda, I think about the great times I had with my grandfather when I was a young child. There is no... Read More |

The multi-purpose Coleman cooler |
| 12/22/2009 1:49:18 PM |
| Over the years, I have used my Coleman cooler whenever our family went camping, on picnics, college tailgating parties and even home parties for the patio to keep the beverages cold for the kids. The Coleman coolers are so well made, I remember just buying one replacement through-outthose years. When I did buy another one this Coleman cooler had wheels, so transport was a... Read More

The Dutch Oven Camping Cookware |
| 12/22/2009 1:34:21 PM |

To me, the dutch oven is an essential piece of camping cookware. I always bring mine along when camping. I like to slow cook food over the campfire all day long. Often, I start a roast in the dutch oven and let it simmer with onions and garlic until it falls apart. Then I add fresh carrots, potatoes and mushrooms. Shortly afterwards dinner is served!

Coleman cooler and tailgating |
| 11/11/2009 11:42:53 AM |

I was invited to a tailgate party before a Phoenix Cardinals game last month. It had been a long time since I was at one of these traditions of football. As a matter a fact, the last tailgate party I was at was for a college football game. That was loads of fun with the crazy college crowd. Wow! The tail gate parties have gone hi-tech. I would now consider tailgating as a... Read More |

The next time you go camping don't forget to pack the frisbee. Really! You know how the family plays horseshoes or tosses a football, right? How about adding the outdoor sport of frisbee?
My family is crazy about camping and any outdoor sport that can be associated with it. Trust me, they have tried anything and everything and often make up their own activities. One time... Read More |

Coleman coolers are a staple for family events |
| 10/20/2009 4:43:11 AM |
I love and rely upon, and swear by Coleman coolers. I have always used them for a wide variety of different things. Namely, Coleman coolers have always come in handy for family events, like get togethers, barbeques and parties. I also like to take Coleman coolers with me when we head out to the lake on the weekends, or especially when we are all going camping over the... Read More

Our Coleman cooler through the years |
| 10/11/2009 6:59:12 PM |

Growing up in the Southwest, you had to have to best equipment to keep your food and beverages cold. My family took our Coleman cooler to every family picnic and get togethers. I remember lugging the huge, dark green steel Coleman cooler to many picnic tables by the lake. The first thing we would do is get something to drink, because by that time we were all dripping wet...

Coleman Cooler Memories... |
| 9/29/2009 6:51:09 AM |

When I was young and first living on my own I spent many weekends at the lake. My friends and I participated in a sport known as "tubing." There was little equipment required for this endeavor. An old tire tube and a coleman cooler was all you needed. It doesn't get any easier than that!
My "river rat" friends and I would meet at my apartment every... Read More |

Don’t Forget About Needing Camping Cookware |

My daughter decided to try camping with her friends this summer. In the past she has only gone camping with the family. She's not used to having to needed to bring things. I usually make sure we have everything we need packed into the van. All she ever had to do was bring her clothing.
Her first camping trip with her friends was a short lived disaster. She took her tent,... Read More |

Hard to beat a Coleman tent. |

 There are many fine companies making camping hiking gear but few have been in business as long as Coleman. When I go online to look for new camping hiking gear Coleman is always one of the companies I consider first. Take a Coleman tent for example. Coleman's line of camping tents cover everyone who needs over night shelter. For hikers, motorcycle, and bicycle campers... Read More |

Canoing and Camping a Favorite Outdoor Sport of Ours |
| 8/15/2009 9:23:03 AM |
My husband's brother called him last night wondering if we'd like to go canoing this weekend. We kicked the idea around a little and decided that it might be pretty fun to load up the canoe on the rack and engage in this peaceful outdoor sport. We love to be on the water in the summer because it is so much cooler, and we started thinking that we might even want to go for... Read More |
