Fun and Unique Camping Gear for Your Next Outdoor Excursion
Camping is an ages old activity enjoyed by people of all ages from all walks of life. Some solitary adventurers like to spend time in the woods alone, although most people enjoy camping with their families or friends. When most people think about items needed for camping, tents and sleeping bags come to mind. These days, however, you can find a wide variety of unique camping gear that goes far beyond traditional supplies. In this article, you’ll get a basic introduction to some of the newest gadgets and gear available.
One of the coolest innovations in camping is the luminous tent, such as those offered from the BradCamping Ltd company. These tents are yellow in color and glow in the dark, which serves two purposes. They allow you to find your tent more easily in the darkness, and they repel insects. Another type of tent that you may like is the featherlight, such as those made by Advantage Innovations. These tents are extremely lightweight which makes for easy portability. Now that you’ve learned about some of the newest tents available, let’s talk about some fun accessories.
You’ll need some utensils for eating, and one of the most efficient is the plastic spork set offered from X-treme Geek. These spoon/fork/knife combinations do it all in one simple utensil and come in colorful sets of four. Need a little flavor? Try the Swiss Spice waterproof salt and pepper shaker which is made for outdoor conditions. For hot coffee in a flash, the Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker fits the bill. Simply combine the coffee grounds with hot water and press for the perfect cup of fresh coffee in 30 seconds.
Another example of unique camping gear is the Swedish Firesteel flint and steel igniter, used with Maya Campfire Starter as tinder. You’ll never need matches again! To find your way, check out the Highgear Handheld Digital Compass, which does a lot more than tells direction. You get a countdown timer, time, day, date backlit LCD display, alarm and water resistance up to 30 feet. Finally, consider the Survival Kit in a Sardine Can. This incredible little kit can be cooked in, drank from and contains acetaminophen, bandages, antibiotic ointment, whistle, compass, fire starter cube, matches, notepaper, pencil, duct tape and more. And, it’s so tiny and light that it can go anywhere. There’s no doubt about it — today’s innovative gear offers modern campers everything they’ll need to make the most of the great outdoors!
