Camping with basic gear has its own charm as you can test your creativity and feel closer to nature. However, sometimes it’s also nice to be able to relax and get more comfortable with extra gear. If you are hiking with newbies, then make their first outdoor trip memorable in the best way possible. Bring a few items that can make camp life easier and more enjoyable for everyone. Below are some ideas that you might consider:
Soft Cooler
Camping is a popular summer activity because the clear skies make it safer to hike and stay out for longer. However, the heat can be punishing particularly when moving across exposed areas. It’s a good idea to bring a soft cooler for drinks along the way. The party can look forward to refreshing breaks with ice cold drinks. These soft coolers come in different sizes and designs to fit different needs. You can get one with a long strap that goes over one shoulder or a backpack style that promotes a balanced body. These have thick insulation to keep beverages cool for hours.
Camping Chair
Sure, you can always sit on the ground or a log but it isn’t the most comfortable position. These surfaces can be wet and dirty as well. Consider bringing a camping chair instead so that you can get a bit of elevation from the ground. You can find lightweight foldable options that won’t break your back. Some even have cup holders and pouches for greater utility.
LED Lights
Campers have more lighting options than ever before. The rise of portable LED lamps make it possible to keep camps bright and safe to move around on. You can opt for fairy lights with a warm glow that twinkle in different patterns. You could also try RGB lamps that can change color and brightness based on your mood. These are battery powered and last for a long time. Some can even be charged through solar energy.
Mobile Heater
For those who wish to enjoy hot showers every morning, a mobile heater is a must. Just fill up a bucket with water from a nearby source and let a hose run from this to the DIY shower stall. The small heater can warm up the liquid instantly so campers won’t have to shiver while taking a bath. It will be a much more pleasant experience. The warm water can also be used to wash dishes, clothes, and tools around camp.
