Which is better for cooking gear propane or fuel?

Q. My family wants to start camping. We have a large family so we want to be prepared when we start our new adventure. Which is easier to use?

Answer
Propane is a better choice, since it burns hotter and doesn't need any special preparation like Sterno. I can't help you in stove choice, since I don't know if you are backpacking or will have access to a vehicle. A small backapacking stove cooked for ~12 hungry Boy Scouts and leaders on a backpacking trip, so they work (it took a while, but it got done) but two will be even better. Propane bottles also last a good long time, but do need to be replaced eventually. If you shake the bottle and there is no liquid sloshing around, then you need to replace it.

What are the best websites and outdoors stores for backpacking/outdoors/camping/hiking Pro Deals?

Hi there! I'm going to be working as a Ranger at Philmont Boy Scout Camp this summer, and I was just curious if anyone had any leanings toward any good websites or stores that had really good Pro Deals for us "Outdoor Professionals." I'm a small-to-medium sized girl :-) Thanks!

Answer
There are a lot of good products to look for:

The ones that I would recommend are either Northface, Outlander, or ones of good quality like that.
