CAMPING EQUIPMENT

If you don't have a mobile home, you'll need a variety of gear and accessories for camping and tenting. First and foremost, a good quality tent is a must. The tent should be chosen mainly according to its size, i. e. how many people are to stay in it. The waterproofness of the tent, expressed in terms of the water column, should also be taken into account. The higher the water column, the more rain-resistant the tent. You definitely need a sleeping bag for your tent. Sleeping bags are mainly classified according to the temperature they are suitable for (winter/summer), this should be considered according to the weather and the period of time you are going camping. To avoid lying directly on the ground in your sleeping bag, you will need a comfortable foam matt or folding lounger. Repellents for pesky insects, a small first aid kit and a torch will also be useful in the tent.

When camping, it's magical to cook or grill something on your own. For this you also need the right accessories and equipment. If you want to cook a tasty stew, for example, you will need a tripod with a cooking pot. If you want to cook or grill something else, there are a variety of gas cookers, solid fuel cookers, hanging grill pans and grills available. Finished food needs to be served in and on something. By this we mean camping tables and chairs and, of course, camping crockery and cutlery.

HIKING EQUIPMENT

Hiking essentials definitely include a proper backpack to store your food, drink, spare clothes and other necessary hiking gear and accessories. You can definitely fit animal defense spray in your backpack if you are going to places where there is a risk of such animals (especially wolves and bears). A good hiker should not miss a compass or a baseplate compass in case he or she gets lost. In case you are delayed and returning from a hike in the dark or twilight, don't forget a powerful compact flashlight or headlamp. Having a multi-tool knife in your pocket or backpack never hurts either.

SURVIVAL A BUSHCRAFT EQUIPMENT

Survival and bushcraft can generally be described as the knowledge of nature and the skills of our ancestors, who knew how to survive in nature without modern technology. The essence is to be able to survive in nature and enjoy being in nature and clear your mind. Survival is more about learning about survival techniques in nature and bushcraft is more about learning about nature itself.

Bushcraft and survival equipment and accessories include e. g. shovels, axes, machetes, multi-tools and survival knives, multi-tools, tarpaulins to create a makeshift shelter, simple tools to cook food (gas cookers, solid fuel cookers, compact stoves, hanging grills and kettles).

Other important equipment is definitely survival kits, which contain many useful tools, emergency tents, emergency sleeping bags, tools for filtration or treating water, paracords, fire starting tools (fire strikers, wind and waterproof lighters and matches, solid firelighters) and portable first aid kits.
