Even though the summer season is fast coming to an end you may still be looking to capitalise on the nice weather we have been getting during August and September by going on a camping trip. Undoubtedly you will be familiar with the various glamping sites that are popping up all over the country, many of which are featured on this site; but, what you may not have considered is how you could merge camping and glamping on your own terms.
If you want to still enjoy the back-to-basics feel of camping with a touch of the glamour associated with glamping you should take a look at the outdoor and camping products sold by Outdoor Camping Direct. In the following article we have picked out some of our favourites, but we urge you to have a browse yourself.
Invest In Your Tent
The first thing to invest in while preparing for camping or hiking is the tent. Whenever you want to relax or need some privacy during your adventure you will be heading to your tent. So, it is imperative to invest in your tent first. However, it is a hectic task to explore the types of tents and which one would suit you the best. Fortunately, there are websites that have researched enough to present you with all the information required for any outdoor camping, hiking, or similar other adventures.
How About Some Hunting Gear?
Have you considered buying some hunting gear to add to the luxury? Invest in a good standard rifle scope and quality binoculars to keep an eye out for wildlife while you’re in the wilderness. Also, get the right camouflage hunting gear to stay out of sight while you’re out in the woods. And don’t forget a good quality knife for those tricky situations.
Improve Your Cooking Facilities
Obviously, one of the complaints a lot of people have who have been camping before is that they weren’t able to cook decent meals. This is why we have chosen to look at one of the great stoves available on the website. Although it has only one hob, the Yellowstone steel portable gas stove is everything you need to elevate your cooking outside a little. It features an easy to adjust heat control and a very safe automatic ignition.
If you are going to be camping with small children, this stove is also an excellent choice because it has a special locking mechanism on the gas canister. This means that they would not be able to unhook it and cause any accidents. The stove comes in a very robust carry case and despite how it looks, is very lightweight. Apart from a stove, you can also consider other options that can help you cook and enjoy fresh foods. An outdoor portable fridge like the 12 volt fridges can be a game-changer, allowing you to store and enjoy fresh foods while on your adventure. This means you can keep perishable items like fruits, vegetables, and dairy products cool, ensuring that you have access to nutritious and delicious meals throughout your trip.
Improve Your Crockery
Even if the food that you serve up is fairly simple, how you eat it can make a lot of difference to the whole camping experience. Even just buying a nice set of crockery suitable for camping and some cutlery can make the world of difference, like the Yellowstone 12 piece Bamboo picnic set in green. This particular set includes 4 mugs, bowls and plates, ideal for a small family. As well as being lightweight and portable, they are also built with bamboo to give them a bit of robustness so that you get plenty of use out of them.
As an alternative and a way to buy everything you need to have food and drink out in the open you could opt for the smart Yellowstone 4 person wicker picnic basket. Not only does this include 4 glasses and plates, but also includes 4 stainless steel knives, forks and spoons and a bottle opener. The great thing about this is that the basket is designed to have a home for each piece of cutlery and crockery.
Whether you invest in some of our choices or not, we hope this article has been useful in helping you realise the potential there is for kitting yourself out for more comfortable and luxurious camping. After all, it is important to remember that it is a holiday and not something you feel you should endure.
