Camping<\/a> <\/strong>is part of Australian culture, getting out in the great outdoors is just who we are as Aussies. We have such a beautiful country why not explore it. \u00a0One of the best benefits of camping<\/a> <\/strong>is it can be for all ages. Ideal for a group of mates on uni holidays or alternatively the infamous grey nomads. The term nomad describes those who move from one place to another, instead of living in one location and then the term grey comes from that fact it is used to describe retired elderly people. Therefore, the term grey nomad is used to describe a retired couple traveling around camping<\/a> <\/strong>from one place to another. Camping<\/a> <\/strong>is also ideal for families, many Aussies grow up camping, as it\u2019s a great way to raise your children and build a strong family bond between siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so many different types and styles of camping<\/a> <\/strong>and thus there is a vast array of camping gear<\/a><\/strong> one can choose from to get the best out of their trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, the most essential part of camping<\/a><\/strong> is choosing somewhere to sleep. The most traditional form of sleeping arrangements for the great outdoors is a tent<\/a>. <\/strong>The best quality version of this is a canvas tent<\/a> <\/strong>as they offer great weather protection from both rain and heat, but they are also extremely durable which is key if you are going on a large trip. Awning Tents<\/a> <\/strong>are an extremely convenient and quality option of tent. Great for family\u2019s awning Tents<\/a> <\/strong>create an enclosed room underneath your car awning<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If canvas tents<\/strong> <\/a>aren\u2019t your thing, then not to worry there are plenty more options. If you\u2019re looking to do more travel style camping, then a rooftop tent<\/a> <\/strong>may be more your style. These days with technology getting better and better rooftop tents<\/a> <\/strong>are becoming extremely popular. The major benefit of rooftop tents<\/a> <\/strong>is the quick setup, once installed to your vehicle a rooftop tent<\/a> <\/strong>can be ready in seconds simply pop the latches and there you go your tent, and bedding are ready to go. Rooftop tents<\/a> <\/strong>come in both hard-shell plastic designs and an aluminium construction. \u00a0The benefit of the hard-shell plastic is they are light weight, which is perfect if you are concerned about fuel economy. It is also good to have a lightweight hard-shell<\/strong> Rooftop tent<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>if you are chasing the best four-wheel driving performance. Hard-shell<\/strong> Rooftop tents<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>are also more affordable. <\/strong>On the other hand, although aluminium rooftop tents<\/a> <\/strong>are more expensive they are significantly more durable. If you are doing a large trip, then durability certainly becomes an important factor if you are camping<\/a> <\/strong>remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Maybe tents in general aren\u2019t your thing, in that case you could go for the truest and most traditional form of Australian camping and grab yourself a swag<\/a>. <\/strong>A canvas swag<\/a> <\/strong>is a very simple and easy way of camping. Unlike a tent swags<\/a> <\/strong>allow you to roll your bedding up inside them once you pack them away. This bedding could include a sleeping bag<\/a> <\/strong>and also a self-inflating mattress<\/a><\/strong>. However good quality swags come with premium foam cell mattresses up to 70mm thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camping gear<\/a> <\/strong>is certainly not limited to a place to sleep, it ranges from the essential equipment you need to survive but then also a full range of luxury gear to make being in the outdoors a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve chosen what you\u2019d like to sleep in the next option is shelter. A great option for shelter is a portable gazebo<\/a>. <\/strong>A gazebo<\/a> <\/strong>will protect you from the hot Aussie sun during the day giving you a shady spot to chill out. Not only that but a portable gazebo<\/a> <\/strong>will give you protection from the rain if the weather is less than ideal. Gazebos<\/a> <\/strong>come with many optional extras for various added benefits and protection. A gazebo side wall<\/a> <\/strong>will shelter you from the wind and sand when at the beach. It will also block the sun from beaming through when its sitting low in the sky. Alternately a gazebo side wall<\/a> <\/strong>is also great for sideways rain. If you setup camp in a particularly mosquito friendly area like next to a river or swamp lands then a gazebo mosquito net<\/a> <\/strong>is a great optional extra for you. A gazebo mosquito net<\/a> <\/strong>attaches the sides of the gazebo<\/a> <\/strong>creating an enclosed mesh room for you to comfortably sit in mosquito free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A car awning<\/a> <\/strong>is also a great option for shelter when camping<\/a> <\/strong>in the outback. Attaching to the side of your cars roof rack a car awning<\/a> <\/strong>is super easy and quick to setup. Simply unzip the bag unroll the canvas and extend the poles. The other benefit of an awning<\/a> <\/strong>is that it is always there with you. A great addition to a car awning is a mesh floor<\/a><\/strong>. Perfect for keeping sand or dirt out of your campsite and sleeping area mesh floors<\/a> <\/strong>are also great at reducing heat coming from the ground thus making them great for families with young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s talk business, number two\u2019s that is. In Australia we have the luxury of many campsites being fitted with facilities however if you wish to do some remote camping then a portable camping toilet<\/a><\/strong> is certainly a must have. In many places a portable camping toilet<\/a> <\/strong>is a legal requirement in order to camp there. If you don\u2019t wish to do your business in the open then an instant ensuite awning shower tent<\/a><\/strong> or a camping shower tent<\/a><\/strong> will give you the privacy you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A portable BBQ<\/a><\/strong> \u00a0is a great way to cook up some delicious steaks after a good day of adventuring or alternately if you\u2019re after a bit more style grab yourself a camp oven stove<\/a> <\/strong>and cook yourself a quality lamb roast. To help prepare your nightly meal an alloy camping table<\/a> <\/strong>is a perfect portable solution. An LED strip light<\/a><\/strong> will help you see what you\u2019re doing under your awning<\/a> <\/strong>at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camping<\/a><\/strong> is an excellent pass time and one that everyone should give a go at least ones in there lives so if you\u2019re just starting out use this guide to help you choose the essential gear you need to enjoy a night under the stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
