Buyers guide to... Camping holiday

 

Camping holiday

Wondering what to take on a camping holiday? We've asked our buying team what essentials they would pack for an adventure holiday and this is their list of top camping supplies. Each product work in harmony with nature while making your trip more comfortable in the meantime.

Carry water with you

It's not just plants that need to be kept well watered. We thrive when we're hydrated. It is extremely important to make sure you keep up your water levels - especially on a camping trip when you're running about outside. This reusable bottle is perfect for taking with you to make sure you don't wilt. It's made out of tough stuff and will keep your drink refreshingly cold. As if that isn't enough, it comes with a compass in the lid, so you don't get lost in the woods. Clever, hey.

Bring games for all the family

You need a good stock of games when you're out and about camping. It's laughing in the countryside with your friends and family that makes these camping trips so memorable. Smite is an addictive, competitive family game that is enjoyed by all ages. It takes a steady hand and a bit of skill but the aim is easy. This game comes in a handy jute bag, so you can carry it anywhere - the camp-site, beach, or simply bring it along on a walk for those well-deserved rests.

Make sure you've got your home comforts

Whether you want comforting cocoa for story telling around the camp-fire, hot water for your noodles, or warm milk for a hearty porridge, a reliable and sturdy camping kettle is what you need. This one is based on the kettle traditionally used by Irish fishermen, as it's compact, yet robust. Having a source of hot water about is one of the best ways of bringing those home comforts with you, while you sleep out in the wild.

Travel hammock

This extra-large, light travel hammock is ideal to pack away for travelling. It folds up really small so it's a handy addition for long trips where you may need to rest or sleep along the way. All you have to do is wind the ropes on each side around a tree and voila - you've got a make-do sleeping solution.

Take a radio powered by nature

Just one minute of winding will give you 20 minutes radio time with this clever eco-friendly radio and flashlight. Or you could leave it outside for five hours to gain 30 minutes radio time. For effortless work you can listen to music or chat radio anywhere without worrying about batteries. This wind up radio is practical for chilling in the garden, taking to the beach or camping. You can even charge mobile phones with this device!

Camping proof crockery

This fairly traded dining set was designed with festivals in mind and would be the envy of the campsite. Each set includes a beautifully designed mug, bowl and cup which is all you need for a spot of glamping.

Portable barbecue

This portable BBQ is ever so handy. It's lightweight and has wooden carrying handles so you can whip it down to the park, beach or garden whenever you fancy a picnic. It's far more economical, better for the environment and stylish than buying disposable BBQs each time. Comes in four funky colours.

Advanced portable solar charger

Can't live without your phone, mp3 player, GPS and other creature comforts? No, neither can we. This clever little gadget harnesses the power of the sun to charge up pretty much any device. Just leave this solar charger out in the sun for the day and it could provide your phone with 35 hours of charge. Incredibly handy if you're out in the sticks and you want to keep your phone switched on for safety.
