Camping
gear-canvas tents and other essentials in outdoor equipment
When you plan your adventure, one
of the important decisions to make is about your
camping gear.
Outdoor gear choice is not just questions of weight, size and
price but the main criterion is versatility. You must buy your
outdoor equipment with the type of camping and weather in mind.
Consider these questions when making the decision, are canvas
tents the best options for a rainy region; would you need pillows
and folding tables in your camping gear; should you add a battery
to your outdoor equipment; and should you pick nylon over canvas
tents?
A beginners camping gear usually
has canvas tents these are offered by Coleman and others. One of
the most popular brands in outdoor gear is north face which offers
3 types of tents for campers and hikers. These categories are
expedition-for the hard core trekker, 3-season-for the camper and
hiker and ultralight versions for beginners. These are also
additional features making these tents safe and secure for
camping. Make your outdoor equipment count by getting the best and
taking good care of it.
Your camping gear will also
include outdoor furniture and cookware, besides canvas tents.
Include knives, batteries, folding chairs, stools, travel guides,
compass, and canopies in your outdoor equipment. Remember to make
a checklist before you start packing so that you don’t miss
anything. Invest in a durable and sturdy backpack that will
accommodate all your stuff neatly. And yes, if you are going
hiking and camping, don’t forget a comfortable pair of hiking
shoes. Pick up a travel guide, look up the best campgrounds and
get going. Happy camping!

Topographic maps and compass –
invest in these essential tools for every hiking trip
Wherever you plan to go, topographic
maps make it easy to see the lay of the land – making a
conventional map 3 dimensional – when you understand the picture.
Like taking a compass, taking a good, up to date topographic map
is an essential tool for any hiking trip.
GPS
Systems – commercial, recreational, and emergency service
navigation
GPS Systems are fast becoming the
navigational system of choice for commercial travelers, emergency
services and outdoor enthusiasts. From in-vehicle models to hand
held receivers, you can find one to suit your requirements.
Tips
for choosing a sleeping bag
The day is done. The tent is pitched, the lantern's lit and the
supper's cooked. Soon, you'll settle down to sleep, dreaming of
the adventures to come tomorrow. Do you have a sleeping bag that's
up to the task?
The
web-based outdoor store is the perfect place to prepare for your
backcountry journey
Planning a camping or backpacking adventure often begins when you
surf the Internet to find a non-traditional outdoor store -- an
e-retailer without a physical location. After all, getting
outfitted is half the fun! Picture virtual aisles full of neat
gear that fuels your imagination.

and save more-discount binoculars may be just what you’re
looking for!
Are you an outdoorsman? A wildlife enthusiast? A sports fan? Or
do you merely need to look into the window of the pretty girl
that lives next door? The idea of getting a pair of binoculars
must surely have crossed your mind.
Always
choose quality hiking gear
It is easy to skimp on the cost of organizing a hiking trip –
after all the other expenses, going shopping for the actual
hiking gear itself often seems to present problems to people who
associate quality with expense. This is not strictly true, some
of the highest quality hiking gear on the market is aimed at
those people who, by definition, have little money to spend –
backpackers.
Planning
for ultralight backpacking
It might seem at first to be a rather irresponsible idea – the
thought of going out into the wild with as little equipment as
possible, which is the driving force behind ultralight
backpacking might make many hiking enthusiasts wonder why they
bothered with being prepared for any eventuality.
GPS
devices explained
If you are new to the world of GPS
devices then there are probably a few pieces of information that
you will need before you try to choose from all the various
available models and manufacturers. In fact, GPS devices are a
reasonably new phenomena, and have only recently hit a price
point which is within reach of the leisure market.
The
kerosene lantern; a convenient classic
Lighting up a tent or camp area can be quite difficult; it can
sometimes be a job to get just the right combination of warm
fuzzy glow and enough light to actually be able to see by, which
makes a kerosene lantern the perfect solution.
Different
kinds of tent camping
One might have thought that there was only one kind of tent
camping, but this is not the case. In fact, there are three
kinds, and each requires different equipment. The first kind of
tent camping is that which is done whilst also trekking. The
idea is that you pick up your tent, put it into a backpack, and
rush off into the great outdoors for a fun vacation.
