What kind of tools should I bring on a camping trip?
A solid multi-tool, folding saw, axe, or shovel covers most needs. Add utility straps for gear management and a compass for navigation if you’re heading off-grid. Always bring lighting and something for fire starting.
What should I pack to be ready for emergencies?
A first aid kit, fire starter, paracord, flashlight, and poncho should be in every pack. Consider flares and emergency blankets for added security. Check out the Emergency Supplies for everything you need.
How can I keep wildlife away from my campsite?
A few easy things can make a big difference. Bear bells are great—they let animals know you’re around so you don’t startle them. Keep your food in secure containers and store it away from your tent. And just keeping your campsite clean—like getting rid of trash and food scraps—will help a lot.
What’s the best lighting for camping?
Headlamps are ideal for hands-free visibility. Use lanterns to light up larger areas and flashlights for focused tasks or nighttime walks. Go with rechargeable or solar-powered options to save on batteries.
