Stanley IceFlow AeroLight 2.0 24-Ounce Vacuum Water Bottle with Flip Straw Lid
REI
Made from BPA-free recycled stainless steel, this Stanley bottle is 33% lighter than regular stainless steel tumblers. And unlike standard straw cups, this one’s straw flips down when not in use to avoid exposure to germs and can pop off easily for deep cleans. The double-wall vacuum insulation ensures drinks stay piping hot or icy cold for long periods of time. One of the best deals we spotted this weekend, it’s now 40% off when you choose it in pretty pink or prickly pair yellow.
Yeti 6-Ounce Rambler Stackable Mugs, Package of 2
REI
Leave your bulky mugs at home. For your next camping trip, pack these lightweight stainless steel mugs instead. Designed to fit most espresso machines, each one has a ceramic lining, firm grip handles, and can go in the dishwasher. And when they’re not filled with your morning Americano, they stack within the other, which is a nice space-saving perk. So is the 20% you’ll save if you choose the tropical pink color.

Lodge Cast Iron Cook-It-All
REI
We love Lodge’s cast iron skillet, so you can imagine our delight at finding this multi-purpose piece on sale at REI. Highly durable and efficient, it’s equipped with a 14-inch grill/griddle and a 6.8-quart lid/wok that enables it to grill, griddle, sauté, and bake. It also includes two stainless steel handles so you may move it from campfire to table with ease.

Best REI Camp Kitchen Deals
Stocking up on camping cookware is just part one of setting up a great camp kitchen. You’ll also need a stove for the actual cooking (psst, this one is 25% off!), tables for prepping or dining, and functional, efficient tools to help clean up. And what’s a campsite without s’mores? Not a real one, we say, so look for a proper fire pit, too.

GSI Outdoors Selkirk 540+ Camp Stove
REI
A hot, home-cooked meal is a cinch with this powerful twin stovetop. The two burners are designed to simmer or boil rapidly and evenly, and a simple push-button ignition helps to avoid burnt fingertips or knuckles. The individual microcontrol valves are easy to adjust, and we appreciate that the wraparound windscreens prevent gusts or inclement weather from wiping out flames.

Best REI Cooler and Food Storage Deals
While an insulated tumbler is great for a hike or long day outside, you’ll need a sturdy cooler for overnight trips. Look for ones that are well-insulated and roomy enough to store food, beverages, and ice, and keep them cold for lengthy periods. For shorter trips, a lightweight bag like this shoulder tote from Stanley will suffice, while longer getaways call for larger capacities, such as this 60-quart wheeled wonder from Igloo. Plus, our favorite Yeti backpack cooler is on sale and keeps drinks cold for over 24 hours, even on days with a 100°F heat index in Texas, according to Editor Mary Lagroue.

Igloo Latitude 52 Cooler
REI
This one brings me back to my childhood, sitting at the beach for hours on end with my family, pausing the fun only to run back to the big, bright blue Igloo cooler to grab an ice-cold drink or chilled snack. And during REI’s sale, this model that matches the one in my memory is only $30. It has a 49-liter capacity and includes convenient swing-up handles and four self-draining cup holders, which is definitely an upgrade from back in my day.

It has padded top handles and a shoulder strap for multiple carrying options, a doctor’s bag-style mouth for easy access, and an interior compartment that fits up to 30 cans or 20 quarts.
