Spring camping is already in full swing and every 4WDer within cooey of the coast will be packing their bucket & spade to head towards the water. And why wouldn\u2019t you? Bung the awning<\/strong><\/a> up, cast a line in, sit back with a tinny in hand; life doesn\u2019t get much better this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t already, it\u2019s not too late to book in your next beach escape. And to help out, we\u2019ve put together some next-level beach camping tips, which are guaranteed to make your next seaside adventure a fun, memorable and trouble-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NO MORE NEED FOR SAND PEGS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wind can be a pain in the neck on the coast, and pegging\u2019 down your awning<\/strong><\/a> or tent in windy coastal conditions can be a real problem if you don\u2019t come prepared. Instead of carrying bulky sand pegs that still work their way loose, why not carry a few Adventure Kings Awning Sand Bags<\/strong><\/a> and use them as sand anchors? Simply fill them with sand and attach them to the awning as tie downs. They\u2019re guaranteed to withstand stronger winds than your average tent peg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USE YOUR VEHICLE AS A WIND BREAK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of wind\u2026 parking 90\u00b0 to the sea breeze and camping on the calm side of your vehicle will reduce the chatter of zippers, rippling of your awning<\/strong><\/a> or rustling of your swag<\/strong><\/a> that would otherwise make for an uncomfortable night\u2019s sleep. Adding an Adventure Kings Awning Wall<\/strong><\/a> to your setup will also mean that if to get out of the wind means parking your vehicle facing the sun, you can still get shade \u2013 gotta be happy with that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COST EFFECTIVE BBQ SETUP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An Adventure Kings BBQ Plate<\/strong><\/a> is a perfect idea for a cook up on a fire. Combine this with a set of Kings BBQ tools<\/strong><\/a> and you\u2019ll want to be cooking meals on this daily! When you\u2019re done with the fire, don\u2019t bury the coals in the sand. Let it burn down as normal so there\u2019s no chance of hot sand catching anyone out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOUR PROVEN FIRE STARTERS FOR WIND<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Corn chips, cotton wool balls, lint out of your dryer or teabags soaked in citronella oil all make great fire starters in windy conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO ESCAPE THE BUGS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Insects are always a problem, especially on the coast, near tidal flats and mangrove fringes where both mozzies and sand flies compete for your blood. Tropical strength insect repellent is time proven and used by many of the world\u2019s armed forces. The wipe-on gel is best because it endures all day. Or you could make up your own by mixing equal parts of Dettol, citronella oil with a dab of methylated spirits. It might not suit all skin types, but trust us, in some locations this will be a lifesaver. For when you hit the hay, make sure you setup your Adventure Kings Mozzie Net<\/strong> <\/a>under your awning<\/strong><\/a>, so nothing can get at you while you\u2019re asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KEEPIN\u2019 THE SAND OUTTA\u2019 YOUR GEAR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An Adventure Kings Mesh Floor<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 get one. One of these awesome bits of kit are perfect to use as a ground cover under your swag<\/strong><\/a> or awning<\/strong><\/a> as they cut down how much sand you drag into your setup. And any sand you do drag in falls through the cracks of the mesh, but the design of it means it can\u2019t come back through. Keep it somewhere handy so you can bung it down on the ground before you roll your swag<\/strong><\/a> out. The cleaner the swag<\/strong><\/a> stays, the easier it\u2019ll pack up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
