How to Camp Like a Millionaire

1. The Laser Stik from Adventure Lights ($12)

These cheap, reusable and portable stick lights replace those single-use chemical light sticks you felt bad about breaking out. They illuminate within a few feet for about 75 hours, and can be seen from hundreds of feet in the dark. Get one for everybody, and nobody will get lost.

2. The Dynamo 9 LED Mini Lantern from Essential Gear ($35)

Talk about the ultimate camping light. This hand-crank LED light produces a solid beam and never needs batteries. It's great for emergencies as well -- but you won't be worrying about that in your regal camp.

3. The AeroPress portable coffee press from Aerobie ($26)

This coffee maker comes from the manufacturers of the Aerobie line of throwable toys. But this little gadget has java-making game. It may be the elegance of the device itself, or the simple fact that you are enjoying drip coffee in the middle of nowhere, but nothing is more civilized.

4. Jose's Chicken Mole from Backpacker's Pantry ($7)

No, this not real mole. In the real world this would be a precooked disgrace, but in the woods, this creation somehow transforms itself into a dinnertime delicacy. Just add water and you're eating a meal far beyond hot dogs and gorp. But beware: If you're watching your sodium intake, check the labels on premade foods like these first.

5. The Pioneer from Campfire Grill ($40)

Campfires are great for singing, s'mores and feeling like you're one with nature. But the mysterious, wonderful outdoor vibe stops at cooking on clumsy things. Where else can you burn your food, run the risk of a grease fire and lose you eyebrows all at the same time? Use this idiot-proof grill from Campfire Grill instead. It locks your food in place well away from you, so even you can't ruin it.
