I Am Considering Buying New Camping Gear And Equipment This Year
We all enjoy camping out under the stars and pale moon. Am I right or am I right? There’s not a human being alive that doesn’t adore a good bout with Mother Nature. Just lounging by the campfire, singing a tune and soaking up the peace and quiet. Alright, I admit that there may be a few folks that don’t enjoy the outdoors. As for the rest of us, we need that relaxing break from the “real world” chaos and stress. And with the right outdoor camping equipment, a trip up into the wilderness can be an utter blast. Everyone get your tents, sleeping bags, and flashlights ready; we’re headed outdoors.
Less than a month ago I was camping in a nearby woods with my daughter. She was the only one of my family members I could get to go with me. Fortunately she loved the experience. We’re lucky to have a friend that owns a large portion of land, because he lets us camp on it whenever we please. Now, you may be wondering why we ventured out into the bush during the winter season.
Hey, no one ever said camping was forbidden in February. You simply have to go prepared with the right outdoor camping equipment. Pay attention and I’ll tell you what these consist of. First you need to dress for the occasion. Wear what you feel comfortable outdoors in. Heavy coats, stocking caps, and gloves are generally essential this time of the year. And be certain you wear shoes that function well over outdoor terrain. Insulated hiking boots are perfect. Then there’s the tent.
There are plenty of outstanding tents on the market now days that withstand strong winds and harsh weather. Choose one suitable to your number of campers. Down sleeping bags are great. These babies will definitely keep you warm and cozy all night long. A must when it comes to winter outdoor camping equipment. Don’t forget to pack plenty of suitable cuisine. And finally there are the flashlights and matches.
Personally, I believe Surefire flashlights are the best in the business. Refer to their website for more information. And while “strike anywhere” matches are great and convenient, I do recommend a weather-proof lighter such as one from Brunton or Windmill. These are phenomenal.
So there you have it. All the outdoor camping equipment you’ll need to survive the winter weather. A few other places you can search for these products are R.E.I. and the net.
Happy camping!
