Best Items to Take While Camping

Camping season is here. When you’re out on the trails, it’s almost always best to keep your kit as simple and light as possible. If you’re a newbie to the great outdoors, or you’re trying to convince yourself to give camping a shot, these products can make roughing it just a little less rough.

Camping Cookware Mess Kit

Maybe it’s because you’re always hungry after a day of hiking, swimming or canoeing, but there’s nothing like a great camp meal. You don’t want to lug around your heavy everyday kitchen supplies to your campsite so keep things light with a camp cooking kit which packs everything you need.

ENO DoubleNest Hammock

After a pre-dawn wakeup, there’s nothing better than coming back to camp for a nap. After hours of basking in the hot sun, the inside of your tent can feel like a car in a parking lot. Up your game with a camping hammock like the ENO. Paired with excellent straps, you can set it up between a pair of nearby trees, hop in, then drift off to sleep.

TomTom Adventurer

If you’re a hiking to stay fit and healthy, it’s great to have something that tracks your progress. TomTom’s new Adventurer is a health-tracking watch purpose built for the outdoors. It has a durable design, on-board music storage, long battery life and GPS connectivity. Pairing it with TomTom’s app offers insights about your hikes, from a mapped route to altitude gains and drops.

REI Flex Lite Chair

Chances are your campsite won’t have built-in seating and it’s unlikely you’ll want to sit on the floor. Put a few REI Flex Lite chairs around the campfire and grab a bag of marshmallows. The chairs are incredibly light, making them ideal for camping.
