Terrible tag line notwithstanding, Smokey Bear has been a fixture in the camping world for longer than I've been alive. This year, he turns 65 and the celebration will be held in the Wayne National Forest (in Ohio). Smokey was "born" on August 9th, 1944.

Only you can prevent wildfires!

Gear Reviews

There are tons of camping products available, from your local department store, to a specialty camping store, to the multitude of sites online. This section is intended to take a look at some of the stuff available and help you decide if it is right for your trip!

At the end of each review, an overall rating will be given based on a 5 campfire scale, 5 campfires meaning we wouldn't go out without the product, 1 meaning it should be thrown in the campfire!
