Upgrade Your Outdoor Gear with these Camping Essentials

Whether you’re car camping, pitching a campsite deep in the bush, or glamping in fine style, it’s important to take stock of your camping gear and related camping accessories before hitting the road. Check your camping tent for holes or tears, and make sure all the tent poles are there. Sleeping bags need to be aired out, and air mattresses should be inflated and examined for leaks. You’ll also want to fire up your camping stove for a dry run, check your propane tank supply, and see if your campfire cooking kit needs an upgrade to make even better camping meals. Don’t forget camping chairs and a sturdy camping table unless you want to eat standing up! Camping coolers are essential for food preservation, and water jugs for hydration. You’ll also appreciate a good camping shower come day three of your trip. 

If your excursion includes hunting or fishing, you should give that gear a once-ever too. Do some backyard casting to see if your fishing rod and reel need a tune up, and replace any lost fishing lures, lines, and other fishing tackle. Most importantly, if you’ll be boating on a lake make sure there’s enough life jackets for everyone.
