Vortex optics make an excellent choice for both outdoor enthusiasts and professionals. Built to withstand rugged conditions, these optics perform well across Canada’s varied environments. However, keeping them in peak shape requires regular maintenance, especially with the country’s unpredictable weather (icy winters, rainy springs and humid summers).
Every now and then we all need to take a break from the concrete jungle and just lose ourselves in the divinity of nature. If you are planning your next camping adventure and don’t want to embark without knowing that you’ll have the comfort of a spacious awning, you have probably already started the – not quite easy – search for the ideal awnings for your ride. Size, material, coating, price – what matters most? Self-supporting or not? Inflatable or conventional? In today’s blog post, I’ll provide some information and guidelines to help you find the best awnings for 4×4 vehicles. Let’s get to work.
Camping is a great way to commune with nature. It is an up close and personal experience that gives the opportunity to break the urban habits and enjoy the wilderness. However, this doesn’t mean that you should give up the comfortable sleeping. Luckily, there are a number of ways to ensure that sleeping in a tent under the sky can be as pleasant as being in your home bed. All you need is the right sleeping gear. If you are not sure how to do it, take a look at the following tips.
First of all, you need to choose the right sleeping gear camping solutions, and you should start from the basics: a sleeping bag, sleeping pad and pillows. Before choosing a sleeping bag, you should have in mind the temperature and the climate of the place you are going camping so that you can choose the appropriate bag style and temperature rating. There are different types of sleeping bags you can choose from such as the mummy type (a narrow shaped bag ideal for maximum insulation and minimum volume and weight), the semi-rectangular type (with a tapered cut that provides efficient heat retention) and the type with rectangular shape (this one provides a lot of space and is the perfect choice for warmer climates). You can unzip some of them to use as a quilt on milder nights.
If you’re into camping, hiking in the dark or hunting, then you probably understand the importance of having a tactical flashlight. When darkness falls and your field of vision is limited, a piercing beam to illuminate the way can do wonders. Originally designed for the military and police, tactical flashlights are now available for every homeowner who needs illumination and protection from prowlers, any hunter and search and rescue parties.
So you’re a nature lover who hasn’t yet given camping a try, and you’re wondering whether you should give it a go or give up on the idea altogether. Been there, done that. But, why waste the perfect chance for some extraordinary fun on the road? All it takes is knowing how to prepare everything you need for this kind of travelling. Before I got my RV, I was wondering whether my family would be on board with the idea, or I’d buy it just to use it on my own. Luckily, they loved it, and as soon as we started looking through the RVs perfect for us, we’d done the purchase and already looked up camping parks to stay at, and let’s just say I was surprised by the number of them in Australia – we Aussies sure love being in the company of the great outdoors.
There’s this group of people I find particularly interesting: they love camping so much, but don’t really want to deal and be involved in the whole process of preparing and setting up the tent. I’ve heard so many funny stories about people who were really enthusiastic about spending a night or two under the night sky watching the stars, but then came home completely exhausted, frightened, and disappointed. Not because it wasn’t good, but because they couldn’t experience all that goodness they were supposed to. They were either completely in the dark because they didn’t know how to light a fire, or they were fighting to keep their tent on the ground. Rookies.
I’ve been camping long enough to know a thing or two about doing these things right. So, I’ll share a few tips with you on how to pitch a tent.
