Staying warm at camp can seem like a daunting task, looking at the weather report before you leave can turn even the most seasoned camping veterans into a blubbering mess. But even though it is winter you don’t need to let the cold and rain keep you inside, with a few helpful bits of gear and some clever setup tips just about anyone can be happy camping all year around thanks to Adventure Kings Gear!

With the right setup you’d be surprised at just how warm you can stay at camp. With additional insulation, weather protection and pre-planning for the conditions even the most sooky camp buddies will still want to tag along no matter how wild the forecast is!

Shelter

With shelter to keep you safe from the weather, you can choose a set up that is as simple, or as complex as you’d like for your campsite!

With an Adventure Kings swag you take advantage of some extremely awesome heavy-duty waterproof and durable poly cotton ripstop canvas this canvas is nice and thick, and because it is made mostly out of cotton the fibers can swell to seal out water, by swelling the fibers inside the canvas bind with one another and make an absolutely waterproof seal.

The other benefit of an Adventure Kings Swag is the warmth and insulation offered by the at least 50mm thick mattress included inside, this allows campers to stay warm up off the cold ground, with some people choosing to add an Adventure Kings Self Inflating Mattress to the inside of their Adventure Kings Big Daddy Double Swag.  Because of the massive size of the Adventure Kings Big Daddy Swag measuring 1550mm wide and 2150mm long is the same size as a standard queen size mattress!

The perfect addition of shelter for an Adventure Kings campsite is to add a vehicle mounted roll out awning. The Adventure Kings awnings offer plenty of shelter with a fully waterproof ripstop polyester fabric, it would take an absolute flood to get wet below one of these awnings. Coupled with an Awning wall you can easily double the sheltered space underneath your awning and by dropping a wall right down to the ground, your campsite will be able to prevent any rain or wind from blowing through your campsite!

Warmth

Staying dry is important but so is staying warm, particularly when you aren’t expecting the weather to get above double digits in temperature.

To stay warm requires much more than just a couple of hoodies!

By stashing your swag away underneath your awning wall, you add additional waterproofing to your swags canvas and allow the heat that may escape from your swag to bounce straight back towards you making sure you stay much much warmer.

As mentioned earlier additional insulation from a self inflating mattress makes sure that your big daddy swag offers the most comfortable night sleep possible, and by adding an Adventure Kings Premium Sleeping bag or 2 to the inside of your swag makes sure that you and your other half stay extremely warm even down below -5°C!

We’ve found that the Adventure Kings Camp Oven/Stove is great for staying warm at camp, by setting up the Camp oven stove below your awning you can have your fire right up underneath your awning, with the extended length chimney reaching well above your awning, taking the smoke and ash well above your campsite whilst still staying warm and dry.

By getting your fire setup underneath your awning you also add plenty of warmth to reflect under your awning and warm up your swag, for a toasty and cozy night sleep!

With all of your creature comforts all sorted you have a handful of other slightly less important accessories to bring with you such as your LED camp lighting (Some might consider seeing at night time important) as well as one of your more important bits of camping gear. Your Adventure Kings Fridge Freezer critical for keeping your beers icy cold at camp!

Staying warm at camp is much easier than many people believe and with adventure Kings Gear is much more affordable than many people believe as well!
