Ok so anyways.
The Bugaboo is a good tent and fairly easy to set up.
Inflatable matress or a camping pad of some kind is a must.
Camp stove from Coleman that runs on the bottles of fuel are a good thing to have or you can get the older kind which take the liquid gas and work great as well.
Lanterns...skip anything relying on batteries and get a decent gas lamp either single or dual mantel.
If you camp in the winter a tent heater is a good thing but you really have to be careful which one you get because a lot of them suck ass.
Folding camp chairs are another must, sitting on the ground sucks and drags the fun out of camping.
Lumberjack style sleeping bags >all...screw the mummy bags etc I have owned mummy bags from -30 rating to -10 ratings and they were all cold as hell when the temp dropped. I picked up one of these and have never been warmer. I can always unzip if I am too hot, I can't make a bag warmer if it gets colder
Mess kit and cooking pans, they sell camping friendly sets of this stuff and it is worth the investment considering how it breaks down.
Coffee press...I don't know about you but coffe is important to me especially camping and having some bacon and eggs by the fire, get a cheap plastic coffee press and then boil some water for good instant coffee.

Thanks for the input Nightshade....
That sleeping bag you posted was actually the exact one's we were using and zipping together to make into a 2 person bag. We liked them a lot but they are my moms and are kinda old and beat up....Maybe we will get two like that....I don't like the mummy ones either. I have one mummy one from when I was in the boy scouts (like 12 years ago) and it kept me warm but wasn't that comfy.

when we go camping we have an inflatable queensize air mattress. we put some queen size sheets on it and then we open up 2 single sleeping bags and use them as comfortors.
It's quite comfortable.
This is prime season for selling camping stuff, so watch out for over priced things.
