Correct Outdoor Camping Equipment
We used to do a lot of camping when the kids were little and we all really enjoyed it. Camping vacations are more fun when you have the correct outdoor camping equipment. Camping doesn't mean you have to be uncomfortable.
One of the most important purchases is the tent.
They range from one man tents to group tents which can sleep twelve people or more. Decide on the size and if a basic tent will do or if you need something to withstand bad weather conditions. Look at marquees, gazebos and awnings. Make sure the tent has a good groundsheet and adequate tent pegs and poles. You'll need a mallet to knock the pegs in. Some outdoor camping equipment stores sell tent food larders and storage pouches for clothes. The larders help to protect the food from wasps and bugs. You can get cool boxes, picnic hampers and camp fridges too.
You'll need sleeping bags or bivy bags, the more expensive ones will be ok in winter.
Some people like to rig up a hammock and a windbreaker is a good idea. If you want a good night's sleep, there is a range of mattresses and airbeds available, with in built pillows. Don't forget an important piece of outdoor camping equipment, the pump to blow your airbed up! Babies can sleep snugly in a travel cot. They may not be glamorous outdoor camping equipment but toilet tents are very handy, especially in remote areas.
Cooking gear and crockery etc. are very sophisticated these days. There are various cookers and grills to buy. Apart from the usual plates, bowls and pans, you can get outdoor camping equipment like wok sets and paella sets. It's also possible to buy a campsite barbecue, there's nothing better than eating food cooked over charcoal when you're outdoors.
A sturdy set of tables and chairs will mean you eat in comfort and you also need to think about lanterns and heaters. Other outdoor camping equipment to consider is torches, map measurers, first aid kits and midge and mosquito repellent. Don't forget the jerry can and the rucksacks for carrying everything on a hike. Take a pair of binoculars if you want to go bird watching.
Kids need to be entertained and you can take some fun water toys such as inflatable dinghies and sea scooters. It may not always be good weather so some board games or electronic games are a good idea.
Don't forget your pedometer, a piece of outdoor camping equipment which will tell you how far you've walked!
