I used to carry a PPK. But not much for martini's. I'm more a Manhattan drinker, real easy on the vermouth.

Honestly I love all of my gear. I really enjoy camping and sports gear for its practical and esthetic qualities. I went through years of research and experimentation, buying things and reselling them on Craigslist when I found something better. Over the years you learn more, you become more committed to your favorite activities, and they come out with new things you have to try. I put together different sets of gear for different uses (car camping, kayak camping, backpacking). Current favorites:
TENT: Kelty Trailridge 2, 3, and 4
MATTRESSES: 3 different Expeds + REI Campbed 3.5
SLEEPING BAGS: LL BEAN down 20 and 35 degrees
COTS: Camptime Roll-a-Cot and Helinox Cot One
CHAIR: Helinox Sunset chair + favorite old webbed lawn chair
KAYAK: Hurricane Sojourn 135. Can camp with it for a week.
CAR: Scion xA. Yup, I'm serious. Perfect tiny adventure car for one person. Holds kayak, bike, and camping equipment.
One thing I haven't found yet: a miniature camp kitchen, like 1/3 the size of Mr. Leary's.

:sombrero: The RUGER MK11/111 are pretty light and very accurate--SS is the best-
Good luck

Yes, the Rugers are nice. I inherited one from my dad. And in related camping equipment, I always travel with my Glock 26.
Throwing a different piece of "gear" in this thread..... this is my favorite..... my hotel on wheels.
I'd like to get a bit more adventurous with a smaller camp rig, but tent camping isn't my thing. Someday I will have a small tear-drop style trailer, or I will build a bed in this (my other truck, which replaced my 2012 JKU-R)

As others have said, all of my camping gear is essential to a good experience, but without my trusty haul vehicle, I would not be camping, so, for me, it is the most essential and appreciated.
Tent Cot bought at academy for 35 bucks, best 35 bucks i have ever spent. Growing up camping with the family and through scouts and later with friends the ground started to get really hard even with air pads & foam pads. Now that my son is in scouts and we have been camping quite a bit, with and without the scouts, it was time for me to get a cot, first night out with it was some of the best tent sleeping i have ever had !!!

What's being cooked here?
I have to say I love my Campfire in a Can...
Plus, my Coleman Fold and Go... Folds up for minimal space for storage. Plus my cast iron pan.
