GUIDE FOR BEGINNER CAMPERS

Spring is here, the weather is getting warmer and the desire to go outside is growing!
Camping holidays are an opportunity for friends and families to explore new places, connect with nature, and appreciate the simplicity of life.
Here are some recommendations for a most enjoyable trip.

THE BEDDING

Having a warm, comfortable space to relax and sleep is an essential part of your camping trip.

Invest in a good tent to start with, a quality product will last you for years.
Choose a size that suits the number of people you'll be traveling with. Practice at home so you know how to set up the tent on the big day.
The iKamper range of tents is a great option for all campers, even beginners. Check out the Skycamp 3.0 for 4 people, the X-Cover 2.0 for more light and carrying space, or the Skycamp 3.0 Mini for 2 people.

EAT AND DRINK

In the great outdoors, there's nothing better than starting the day with a hot cup of coffee in the crisp morning air or coming back to camp after a long day to enjoy a warm, healthy meal around the campfire.

- Make a food checklist - Before you leave, decide what meals you'd like to have while you're away and make a list of the groceries and utensils you'll need. Remember, you won't have unlimited storage space, so try not to overpack.

Tactical Foodpack rations are lightweight, carefully prepared, and space-saving. They're ideal if you're looking for optimal calorie intake and don't want to do the washing up.

- Keep your food fresh: A reliable portable refrigerator/freezer is essential so you can keep your perishable food safe while camping. Dometic coolers are ideal for keeping your supplies fresh.

- Bring the right equipment: Think about what cooking equipment you'll need. With a variety of outdoor cooking options, such as portable barbecues, griddles, and ovens, you'll be able to prepare delicious meals! Kits like the Aioks and Disco Series are simple to use and easy to transport.

- Bring a table and chairs: Bring camping furniture such as Dometic tables and chairs so you can sit comfortably with your family and friends and enjoy meals together.

STAY CONNECTED

Even when camping we take electrical appliances with us such as phones, laptops, cameras, refrigerators/freezers, and many more.

There are many portable power options on the market to ensure you never run out of power. Here are some options for all campers:

- Portable batteries: These are a great option for charging your electronics, as well as 12V devices while camping. They take up little space in the car and are easy to transport. Ecoflow portable batteries are lightweight, space-saving, and charge your devices for a long time!

- Portable solar panels: These are a sustainable way to power your campsite. You can set them up anywhere in direct sunlight and receive electricity.
