When you plan your camping trip, you often consider extra items that would make your trip a little bit easier and enjoyable. Why not have some comforts of home while you battle the outdoor elements? You’ll feel better and enjoy your camping trip when you have some interesting gadgets on your side! Check out this list of nonessential items you could purchase for your next camping trip in the wild.
Portable mosquito repellent
If you are tired of dealing with smoky candles and sticky sprays, the Thermacell MR300 mosquito repellant will be your best bet. This device is small enough to be easily portable, and you can use it outside anywhere you want. You just need to make sure the fuel cartridge is always charged for it to do its job! Insert the bug-repelling mat to start it up, and your day will be mosquito-free for about 12 hours. You’ll have protection from annoying pests within a 15-foot radius of the device. The price for your comfort? Under $25.
Outdoor oven
While it’s a bit pricy at $295, the Deluxe Outdoor Oven is the dream of every camper who still wants a good, hot meal. This outdoor oven will stay hot at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for at least seven hours with just one pound of propane. The inside racks allow you to fit two 9 by 13-inch pans, perfect for hot cinnamon rolls in the morning! You’ll also enjoy the heavy side handles that will help you transport the oven back and forth to your vehicle.
Fireblowing straw
Have you ever leaned down so close to your kindling that you poked yourself in the eye? Now you don’t have to! The fireblowing straw, which retails around $24.95, is a metal straw that expands to allow you to blow your embers and kindling into a full-fledged fire. If that doesn’t work for some reason, use the ferro road and scraper to get the flames going. It’s a great device when it gets windy out!
The brightest flashlight
If you are scared of the dark, you might not want to pass this object up! The Malent MS18 lumens flashlight puts out around 100,000- lumens, an amazing amount of light for anyone! The monster flashlight comes with its very own cooling system to keep it from overheating. It will shine a beam of light all the way up to 1,350 meters, which is a little bit under a mile. If you are hiking through the woods or a dark canyon, this $669.95 flashlight could very well be worth it!
Truck-bed tent
For a mere $239.99, you can quickly and easily turn the back of your truck into a portable home. The Napier Backroadz Truck Tent can hold two adults comfortably on a queen-sized air mattress. There will also be extra room for some gear or even a small dog. It only takes around five minutes to assemble and will break down easily into a small, rectangular-shaped bag. It’s the perfect accessory for your truck!
