Bags, bags, bags what would we do without bags if we didn’t have bags what would we put things in. These famous words from a good old play school song never were more true until I started to get into camping. Trying to keep all you gear in order is a true struggle at camp.

Personally I am not a neat and tidy person, I’m a chuck it all in and sort it out later type of guy. This is all well and good for around the home, well my roommates may say otherwise. But when it comes to camping or going on an adventure because of the fact you have limited space and your confined to one small space not having a place for things is a nightmare.

 In order to be on the go and on the road efficiently everything needs to have its place. Otherwise you could loose gear, spend hours searching for the one thing, dirty your entire vehicle or rest of your gear and lastly and certainly the least particularly if its at the start of the trip, damage your gear.

So, to safely and neatly store your camping gear whilst also being environmentally conscious canvas bags are the way to go.

Canvas is a great material for all things outdoors, it has been used to build tents since the gold rush era. Its because canvas can be both extremely weather proof and sometimes 100% water proof plus its also extremely durable. This is especially true when dealing with ripstop canvas. Ripstop fabrics are woven fabrics, often made of nylon, using a reinforcing technique that makes them more resistant to tearing and ripping. During weaving, stronger reinforcement yarns are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern.

At Adventure kings we offer a huge range of canvas bags in all shapes and sizes to suit all types of products and needs.

To keep dirty grease from entering your four wheel drive and other gear a BBQ Canvas Bag will secure both your portable BBQ plus all the necessary accessories like tongs, egg rings and etc.  For the exact same purpose, a Camp Oven Canvas Bag will do the same thing for your premium camp oven stove.

On the other hand, a Clear Top Canvas Bag is a great way to store all your smaller nick knacks you’d like easy access to. The transparent lid will eliminate rifling through the wrong bag.  These little beauties are a perfect size to store in your vehicles rear storage draws.

If you don’t have a canopy on your Ute or you’d wish to store your bedding gear on your roof rack or cage then a Doona/Pillow Canvas Bag is a great solution. A Doona/Pillow Canvas Bag will keep your bedding gear dry and also dirt free. Not only that but it will keep all your separate pieces of bedding all in the one place. So rather than having multiple different bags and cases just chuck all your bedding neatly safely in a Doona/Pillow Canvas Bag.

Normally after you finish using your recovery straps they’re normally covered in sand or better yet caked in wet mud. So rather then having to scrub away on the side of the track, grab a Recovery canvas Bag to store them in. The heavy duty and water proof properties of the Recovery canvas Bag will keep the mud, sand and dirt fully enclosed inside the bag. Then once you get home turn the Recovery canvas Bag inside out and place it into a bucket of warm soapy water. Do the same with your recovery straps. After about an hour of soaking place both your recovery straps plus your Recovery canvas Bag in a bucket of clean non soapy water and proceed to rinse them off. Roll out your recovery straps and layout the Recovery canvas Bag on the ground and give them a good spray with a high pressure hose.

Like the Doona/Pillow Canvas Bag another great way to store gear either on your roof rack or cage is using a Canvas Roof Top bag. Not only that but if you don’t like having a canopy or top for your Ute then a Canvas Roof Top bag is also a good choice for you too. The benefit of a Canvas Roof Top bag over a hard shell storage roof box is versatility. A hard shell roof top box is always conformed to the one shape and size regardless of the contents inside. A Canvas Roof Top bag on the other hand can vary in size depending on how much you have stored inside. This is perfect for a trip where you’re not bringing the same amount of gear back with you. Better yet if you don’t need the Canvas Roof Top bag at all simply roll it up and chuck it in the back of your four wheel drive.   

Even if you have a dedicated storage spot for your portable toilet a Toilet Canvas Bag will help with that extra layer of hygiene and also just a bit of peace of mind. It features a PVC bucket floor base for the unlikely event of any small water leakages or spills.

Swags are designed to be rolled up and the heavy duty PVC floor protects them from the elements. However, if you truly want to protect your swag and not have to worry about when your throwing it in and out your car or leaving it on top of your roof then a Swag Canvas Bag will certainly do the trick.  Not only will a Swag Canvas Bag protect your swag, but they also come with handy carry handles to make carting your swag to your favourite spot that much easier.

In conclusion its clear to see how canvas bags have a magnitude of benefits and uses whilst camping. From protecting gear, containing gear, or even just organising gear. So there’s no reason not to go out and grab yourself a couple today.
