Your three favorite pieces of comfort or luxury canoe camping gear

I was thinking I'm a tough guy and I don't take "luxury" items. But then there's the dedicated, single-purpose, awkward to pack, popcorn maker. I don't actually own one, but have packed one in my canoe. CanoeTripping's Will Derness has a fancy one with a crank handle on top that drives a blade around the bottom of the pan. That kind of luxury is beyond me.



Hot, fresh pop corn at camp is definitely a luxury!

Nowadays, the three C’s, a cot, cooler and a canvas tent,

Here are three more Cs.
Campfire tent, Coleman stove, Canvas Canoe.

A chair! It doesn't matter what kind of camping (car, canoe, backpacking, etc) there's nothing better than sitting in an actual chair at the end of a long day. The more they tell you that a chair is an unnecessary luxury (looking at the ultralight, long distance, hard trail backpackers here) the more you will enjoy that chair when you stop for the day.

Another thing that is always worth bringing is an actual pillow. I'm a side sleeper and a rolled-up jacket just doesn't cut it for me. Even in a hammock, I do like a small pillow.

I don't count my hammock, etc., as I take the same setup when I'm backpacking and watching the weight—though I love my hammock!
- Chair
- Extra wood processing thing like my hatchet in addition to my Silky
- A second stove, which is a small gasifier, as it makes me slow down and enjoy the moment and the process
