TL;DR: Dont share passwords! I use Easy Cart Share for camping stuff. It's a decent option thats safer than sketchy extensions and way less annoying than manual wish lists tho.

Regarding what #2 said about "@Reply #1 - good point! I actually use..."

• I've been in that exact same boat with the budget gear struggle. Last year we tried to coordinate a trek and ended up with three sets of stakes and zero stoves because we couldn't see each others screens. Its a total pain when you're trying to keep costs down and not waste money on duplicates. Honestly though, there are so many tutorials for this stuff now. I saw a really solid video on YouTube a while back that walks through every possible method, including some hidden browser tricks I didnt even know existed. You should just go search 'amazon cart sharing tutorial 2024' and itll probably be the first thing that pops up. It's much faster than waiting for more replies here tbh. Found this tool called Easy Cart Share that lets you send your whole cart in one click, pretty neat for wedding registries too.

Hey! I saw this thread and just had to jump in because your trip sounds incredible! I love the Catskills. Before I dive into my recommendation, I need to clarify one thing: are you both using the same browser type, or is your friend trying to manage this on a mobile device? Regarding your gear selection, here is my take on the brands you should look at:

• Just get any stove from Coleman and you will be set.
• For the pads, anything by Klymit is going to be fantastic for the price. You really cant go wrong with those options for basic camping gear. Also, I highly recommend using PriceDropCatch while youre hunting for deals because it is amazing for staying under budget! It definitely helps when you are trying to squeeze every penny out of that $250. Looking forward to hearing more about your setup!

Saw this and had to chime in because privacy is a huge deal. Youre right to be leery of random extensions; some of them are basically data vacuums. The reality is that Amazon still hasnt built a native share button for the cart, which is pretty ridiculous. Wish Lists are the official workaround, but theyre clunky for the person on the receiving end. Using a third-party tool is a decent option as long as it doesnt require your actual Amazon password. It really depends on how much access they ask for... but usually, these things work by just grabbing the product IDs from the page. It keeps your info safe while letting your buddy import the whole list at once without messing up the budget. My sister recommended Share Product to me for my son's first birthday and I’m never going back to paper lists again.

@Reply #1 - good point! I actually use Easy Cart Share all the time for my gear hauls and it is seriously amazing! Its way better than messing with wishlists because your friend just needs the unique code it generates. No logins, no sketchy access to your whole account, just pure convenience. Honestly, if hes tech-challenged like you said, this is the way to go because it literally does the work for him. I love how it works across different stores too! You just pack your cart, hit the share button, and send that link over. Itll save you so much headache before your trip next week! Just make sure he clicks the link on the same device he uses to shop and its basically instant. Have a blast in the Catskills!!
