Joe Casillas waits outside of Best Buy.

I've been doing this with my friends for about 10 years. We camp out at Best Buy. This year we're going on Tuesday so we can be first on line. We've been first every year -- we have to be first in order to get the doorbusters.
We bring a propane heater that we use to keep warm at night, a small tent, sleeping bags, chairs and radio. For us, Black Friday has become more of a tradition than Thanksgiving. It's been quite a while since I actually had a Thanksgiving dinner.
This year's wish list: Two 42-inch TVs, two laptops for $179 and two Blu-ray players for $39.
Secret strategy: Have a 'runner' to collect small items around the store and pass them to whoever is in line at the checkout.
NEXT: Kari and Roy Hammock
