I had been agonizing over how to put together a cook set, studying the
various examples at REI, LL Store etc.  Every time I found something I liked
it was RIDICULOUSLY expensive (check out the titanium stuff).  So finally in
frustration I just bought this little five-piece set from Walmart for about
$10 (it has fold out handles with some sort of plastic for heat protection).
Love it.  Works just fine.  Even came with two plastic mugs.  Weighs very
little and has its own stuff sack.  I love Walmart.

Some discussion of tents has started, too.  Another thing I agonized over.
I have an REI Trail Dome, which is large, that I have used for car and canoe
camping with friend and dog.  It fits in the Caribou hatch, but it's way too
big.  I bought a North Face "Slickrock" - very light, compact, extremely
easy to set up, and plenty roomy.  Served fine on recent trip, including
rainy night.
