Romantic Extras

	Super Sun Shower II / Courtesy, Stearns

Stearns Super Sun Shower II – 4 Gallons ($19.95): One downside to the romantic camping trip: You might get grubbier than you’d like to be for bare-skin snuggling. Sweat, sunscreen, bug repellent—you get the picture. So to freshen up a little, pack along the 13.8-ounce Stearns Super Sun Shower II. It holds four gallons of water—enough for two pretty thorough showers (or one shower with two participants, if you will)—and heats lake or stream water to a warm temp in a couple of hours. Just hang it from a sunny tree limb and get the suds going.

	Lexan Java Press / Courtesy, GSI

GSI Lexan Java Press ($19.95): Morning (after) in the woods isn’t complete without hot coffee. GSI’s unbreakable Lexan Java Press is the lightweight way to brew your joe (12 ounces) without lugging a Starbucks on your back. Just add coffee grounds and boiling water, and in a few minutes you'll have a hearty cup to match that served by the finest restaurants. A neoprene jacket keeps your java hot when the outside temps turn chilly.

See if your sweetheart doesn't swoon over a trailside meal of Moroccan couscous, salmon in tomato-orange sauce, and walnut spice cake. The camp stove recipes for all of these and 180 more tempting victuals can be found in the Sierra Club's book Simple Foods For the Pack, written with the help of Cordon Bleu-trained chef, Diana Cooke.

	Stylus 400 / Courtesy, OLYMPUS

OLYMPUS Stylus 400 ($399): Hey, the Puritan in us resisted this, but it’s the 21st century, digital rules, and who are we to judge? What you do in the privacy of your own tent is no one’s business but the Attorney General’s. The snap-and-view allure of a great digital camera is guaranteed to spice up an otherwise-innocent evening outdoors. So, if you must, we suggest trying Olympus’s new Stylus 400—a sensational weather-resistant digital camera with four-megapixel resolution, three-power optical zoom (plus four-power digital), and an included 15MB PictureCard. Go ahead and strike a pose, baby.
