Costco Has Camping Gear?? Let’s Discuss.

[@amanda.outside]

Which one of these items do you think is the best deal? Comment below!!

[@donaldbollman1049]

Coleman Gladiator stove. Do a review, they are way popular (camp stove reviews) and after searching KZbin there are zero reviews. The description says 24” wide. Noice! Heck, my Coleman Powerhouse is 24” wide. It’s a big stove families can use.

[@UGA.D]

Strangely enough, I like the bins. Great video! Thanks! You have a pleasant personality.

[@chriscon8463]

That Coleman stove looks really nice & $70 seems reasonable now. I bought one 20 years ago & it’s still going strong! My Dad still has his; it’s probably 50 years old…

[@amanda.outside]

That's awesome, those Coleman camp stoves seem to last forever!!

[@houndone]

The new ones don't last forever. The ones with the grill on one side are melting the cheap grill and the gas systems are rusting within a year or two.@@amanda.outside

The variety of bins is great! The next time they have the snap lids with the foam "gasket" I gotta buy extra for additional storage needs. I agree clear bins are best for camp. I also scored a 13x13 Coleman pop-up last summer. It's great and highly recommeneded.

I broke a trekking pole last year and just replaced the set with a set from Costco. Very interested to see how they fare this year. They were only $35!

[@gracefesta5599]

They have great car camping tents! I got a really huge 10-person CORE cabin tent last year on sale for a steal of a price and now we can glamp in the lap of luxury. It unfolds and extends, so takes like two minutes to set up and take down. I’m a bit more discriminating with my backpacking gear, but for car camping, Costco stuff is fantastic. Also look for camping chairs, screen houses, and canopies.

[@fannygo6673]

They also sell great tents, cots, air mattress & more!

[@Dr.Unsteady]

The igloo IMX cooler is a steal. Almost $100 off

[@chucksneed3339]

The lamp is great, took that on my last trip to Zion. It takes 4 D cell batteries and also has built in rechargeable batteries that can be charged with the included micro usb cable (or solar). Agree on the red light though

[@helenkathrynhoover7298]

I bought 2 similar Lanterns at Costco last year. They are great! A little too bright but if I hang one up over camp table it is great. I still have my propane Lanterns but these are fast and very useful.

[@twloughlin]

No Costcos in my neck of the woods but I liked the lighters and the first aid kit. I've added a portable power station to my equipment and have made the transition to a 12v fridge - no more ice.

[@jillianmarie77]

My Costco has tents!

[@faithturner3240]

That lantern is definitely a good buy! Not to mention those bins. We camp in a 5th wheel most of the time, but try to choose more wilderness areas for that, so having a good lantern to use outside instead of relying on electricity is a good thing.....

[@j.patrickmoore9137]

Our Costco gets 20 lb. propane cylinders with a built-in gauge, great if you need a spare or a replacement, also a great price. Always seasonal.

[@travelinwithTODD]

great video and info. i don't have a membership to Costco but might think about it now. i like the rechargeable lanterns. i seem to go threw too many batteries when i camp. the igloo cooler seems like a good price. i have a 50 RTIC cooler and love it. i wouldn't mind having an extra.

[@serenamccoy3711]

We have an order version of the lantern and it works very well. Also, the lighters are the best price anywhere. The 2 lights in the pack that have bended tips are perfect for lighting the stove during wind. We are getting ready to purchase a few shelving units for our basement, so I may look into the ones you mentioned and get the bins that go into them. Great finds! Thanks for sharing!

[@amanda.outside]

Glad you like the lantern! I'm excited to use it on an upcoming camping trip. Thank you for commenting!

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Oh I hope they have that lantern at my local Costco, it would make a perfect gift for my tent camping granddaughter. Also the bear spray since she goes on a yearly camping trip near Glacier Park in Montana. I always warn her about the grizzlies!

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

Lots of great finds! Cheap bear spray, too! Wow. 😊🐻🐾

[@olivern4784]

What size of clear bins do you take with you on camping trips? Did you get the regular IRIS bins or the IRIS wearherpro bins?

[@jerryg957]

Locking lid on bin is a must if you keep it outside the vehicle. Racoon proof. Igloo best buy !

[@frankmarullo228]

Good video Amanda ! Thank you for this video. PS. how did Nick do during elk season ? THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.....

[@amanda.outside]

Hi Frank! Nick was only able to get out for a couple of days last year due to his work schedule so no luck. This year he's planning on getting an archery tag!

[@frankmarullo228]

@@amanda.outside THANK you for your response Amanda , don't forget to try a recipe from the cookbook ( if you still have it ) lol .. keep up the good work young lady . FRANK FROM MONTANA.....

[@WestonUSofA]

The Duracell Lamps are awesome. Got 3 of them. Costco needs more camping gear. Not a fan how expensive Yeti’s or RTIC’s are when igloo, Coleman, and other brands can get the job done for a weekend. Just get a strap to keep any lid closed. Or better yet buy a huge cooler and put another cheap one in it. Achieves the same result. Wish Costco sold the duel gas Coleman stoves. Much prefer those over propane. Got my hands on a 425F 1988 in near mint condition.

[@autumnwishes8364]

I'm a member of BJs here in New Jersey (not sure if your area has a BJs but it's similar to Costco). Immediately, when I saw your video intro, I thought of a lantern I purchased at BJs last year and ironically, your first item was a lantern. 😆 I love mine, it's very bright and has several levels of brightness. Great video and information. Some great finds! It did make me think I should be member of Costco as well. 😆

[@onlyinparadise4613]

Which location is this? My Costco doesn’t have the stuff mentioned in the video except for the lantern, band-aids, cooler and bins.

[@jpriddle]

For some reason my Costco in Austin doesn’t have bear spray. 😂 But they’ve definitely been dabbling more in the overland/RV camping world. Locking storage bins, blackstone griddles, compact camp chairs, etc.

[@amanda.outside]

Yea I am noticing more and more of that stuff too! I hope they keep going with it!

[@patricialukas3991]

I haven't seen bear spray at Costco in Central Virginia yet, but we sure have bears here and we're close to Shenandoah National Park, so maybe they'll start carrying it here.

[@lightwalker4558]

My wife and I are members of Costco and BJs. BJs is much closer to us than Costco so I almost aways shop at BJs. BJs also offers decent quality camp gear at good prices. I bought a pop-up 6 person tent (really 4 person) for $100. We have used it several times and it keeps us dry when it rains. Just buy a 9'x9' heavy duty (9 mil) tarp to put down first. I'm tempted to buy their cot, but am fine sleeping on an air mattress since I backpack often.

[@lynnconnelly1753]

If you want the long lighters, wait until Menards has them on sale, the Costco ones aren't refillable. Even cheaper if you wait for the 11% sale.

[@courtneykarwowski]

oh and anything with a * or ends in .97 is on sale and we are not getting anymore shipments till next season.

[@cimarronMC]

One of these days, i will just buy one of these really nice yeti coolers, expensive, but once i have one it'll last me forever

[@scrick7112]

Great content. See ya

[@mikewebster2984]

I live in alberta Canada and my Costco does not have the bear spray in Alberta you have to sighn a waver and they want proof of identity when you buy bear spray at sporting goods store!!

[@hannahcollins1816]

Man I love Costco. One of the most adult moments in my life was getting a Costco membership 😅

[@amanda.outside]

Me too! I held off on getting one for so long and then I finally had to do it 😂

[@hannahcollins1816]

@@amanda.outside Worth it!!

[@tikoy1955]

unfortunately there is not a Cosco close to me. I went to one in the Metroplex with my children and will never go to a big one again. We walked into the door and there were over 30 people waiting at EACH register. My children talked me into staying as I was who wanted to go to one. I do not like big crowds. LOL

[@amanda.outside]

Yea they can get so crowded, but I usually try to go in the morning on a weekday and it's not too bad!

[@A-K_Rambler]

coffee for U!

Thank you!! 😀
