Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

To start I had all the needed camping gear to keep a family off the grid for a couple nuclear half lives. The problem is it looked like it has survived at least one of those half-lives already and my wife is more of a clamping person so to get her out of the hotel was going to take some doing. My family is slowly becoming outdoor enthusiasts. As a kid, my family went camping, snow/water skiing probably 3 of 4 weekends all year long. The beauty of living in SoCal. Since then I have had kids and all that slowed quite a bit. I still go on my target shooting and camping trips. Well, my twin 9-year-olds (1 boy 1 girl) and both are in scouts now that has got them off the iPad and outdoors FINALLY!!! We also do other after-school activities. That being said it makes for endless Amazon shopping and trips to local stores as well. The boy and girl scout packs they are in are VERY busy with outdoor activities with my son meeting up 2-3x a month and my daughter's girl scouts 1-2x a month. So out with the old and in with the new. The Good: 1. NOT lightweight. Why is this good? BEcause it will last. The pot and pan are plenty heavy duty while the rest of the stuff is modern plastic so it makes a nice balance for the set. 2. This is a CAMPING set, not backpacking set. I have stuff for backpacking, I wanted a family camping set and this is perfect 3. Everything is large enough to be user-friendly and small enough to be camping friendly 4. You can add the companion set of 24oz Stanley cups and have a REALLY nice set (shown in one of my photos) 5. Everything heated nicely and even on our Coleman stove 6. Everything cleaned up easy which is a must when camping 7. I got this as an Amazon warehouse deal and the price could not be beat The Bad: Nothing bad to note just yet but I am going to have to buy one more place setting for my 3-year-old but for now its fine. I'm hoping the extra stuff will still fit in the pot. Other Notes: Stanley has been around forever and they stand behind their products. I don't see why they would be different now. I saw a few negative comments but I always try to read those because often people are to bias or expecting perfection for a discount store price. I will try to answer any questions you have so please feel free to ask.
