Autumn is when things start to get chilly and in our opinion it is well and truly happening for many of the more southern and alpine camping areas, however to many people that are new or less experienced, camping during the cooler months might seem a little bit daunting and undesirable, to pack the care and get out to go camping.

The thought of winter camping might bring on prophetic visions of end of the world survival movies, where fighting through being uncomfortable with factors like cold temperatures, rain and the seemingly unlikely chance of bright sunny days on the cards.

However this idea of grey skies and horrible weather is all in your head and the biggest secret that more experienced campers know is, that in the shoulder seasons (autumn and spring) along with a good portion of time at the start and end of winter are the perfect time for escaping into the bush. This may come as a surprise, however you can still enjoy beautiful blue skies, sunny days (albeit shorter sunny days), with fresh mornings and beautiful sunrises and sunsets just about anywhere in Oz as long as you are equipped with all the right gear!

The days may be shorter but sitting around a campfire becomes a toasty and cozy way to keep warm and with the cooler weather and long clear nights, you get to enjoy the pleasure of kicking back at camp watching the starry night sky float past!

Adventure Kings is well aware of this, and offers a massive range of awesome gear that is suitable for camping all year long, it’s hard to look past their range of camping gear.

The range of swags is impressive ranging from the fast and compact Kwiky swag all the way to the famed and industry favourite Big Daddy Deluxe Double Swag,which easily outsell many of the competitors versions thanks to the top quality construction and awesome value for money!

All Adventure Kings swag options offer you supreme canvas waterproofing with ripstop poly cotton canvas shell and PVC bucket flooring materials no matter how damp your campsite is, you will stay dry and coupled up with the plush and cozy Adventure Kings premium sleeping bag, you can stay warm down to chilly minus 5 degrees Celsius nights without any dramas.

The Adventure Kings Premium Sleeping Bag offers absolute versatility, from summer campsites all the way to the dead of winter, by including a completely removable inner flannelette lining, and the ability to zip a left and right zippered version together you can easily create a double sleeping bag that will keep you warm even into the sub-zero temperatures found in the dead of winter.

Whilst set up at camp a waterproof shelter offers somewhere out of the weather, where you can take refuge from the elements, Adventure Kings has 2 offerings that can protect you and the family. With either an Adventure Kings Awning or an Adventure Kings gazebo you can keep sheltered from rain, but also make sure that when you wake up in the morning your whole campsite isn’t covered in a blanket of morning dew.

By setting up a sensible campsite that includes waterproof shelter, a comfy warm bed and a place to sit back and relax by your campfire. This leads us to the last handful of winter campsite essentials you must have at camp. The first being a set of Adventure Kings Throne Camp Chairs, built out of strong steel and with extremely durable joins, they are rated to carry a load of up to 300KG! although you may not weigh this much, the weight rating is more of an insurance policy to ensure your chair doesn’t break or fail, when you are in the middle of nowhere. The Kings Throne Camp Chairs are exceptionally comfortable and won’t let you down no matter where you are camped.
 

Lastly but not least is the highly transportable, and extremely efficient Adventure Kings Camp Oven/Stove, designed to be easily portable, the collapsible chimney fits inside the body of the oven and the folding legs means the whole unit packs down into a compact and easy to transport solution to sitting in the cold during winter camping sessions.

By elevating your fireplace inside a steel container, the Camp Oven/stove allows your wood to burn completely leaving only a small amount of ash, coupled with the adjustable flue, you can even control the airflow for temperature adjustments whilst cooking.

The added efficiency means you don’t have to bring more wood than necessary on your journey, and the cleanup of ash is a much simpler process than with a traditional fire pit.

With these helpful tips all that is left to do is crack a refreshing beverage and kick back at camp, knowing you have all the right gear for keeping toasty warm when the mercury plummets and the skies turn a little grey.
