BEST CAMP CHAIR DEAL: REI Co-op Flexlite Camp Chair — $34.89 (members save $35.06)

This is a member-only deal worth signing up for. At less than $40, the REI Co-op Flexlite chair is a steal. It’s ideal for both backpacking and car camping, thanks to its foldable, lightweight design. It folds down to fit in an included stuff sack, and weighs just under two pounds, so you can take it with you to the park, the beach, or on a multi-day backpacking trip.

BEST CAMP STOVE DEAL: Eureka Ignite 2-Burner Camp Stove — $86.19 (save $28.76)

A two burner stove is a luxury at basecamp, and this cute Eureka model will help you cook gourmet meals in the outdoors. You’ll get simmer control, nonslip feet, a stainless-steel drip tray, and wind barriers to make sure your flame doesn’t go out. Just grab a fuel canister (sold separately), and you’ll be a camp chef in no time.

BEST CAMP FOOD STORAGE DEAL: Grubcan Bear-Resistant Container— $34.93 (save $92.02)

Bear canisters are notoriously expensive, but this REI deal will save you nearly $100. This particular Grubcan model has been discontinued, but that doesn’t mean it won’t keep your food safe from bears and other wild critters you may encounter on the trail or at basecamp. It’s approved for use at most national parks too, so you can wind down in front of the fire without worrying about your food getting hijacked by a raccoon.
