It’s that time of the year again! Time to start airing out those tents and picking out the damaged equipment from last year’s camping adventures. We have complied a list of items that can help take the “rough” out of “roughing it” for the weekend. These are must-haves for a smooth camping festival weekend:
1. Headlamp
Have you ever put a campsite together in the dark? It is one of the most challenging jobs ever experienced, and many EDC Chicago campers were put through this daunting task back in 2012, many steaks were lost and many misconfigured tents were exposed in the daylight. This headlamp could have saved a lot of campers from frustration. Don’t be left out in the dark! While this item might seem dorky, it saves you the embarrassment of tripping and falling while walking around the campsite. You can buy this headlamp for $18.95 from Sierra Trading Post.
2. Canopy Tent
Don’t be those newbies without a canopy. Tents heat up in the sun and make relaxation nearly impossible. Pitch up some canopies to avoid the heat and relax under. Canopies provide the perfect area to keep things dry and cozy. They also provide the perfect opportunity to decorate your camp by hanging flashing lights and tapestries. Canopy, $94.97 Walmart.
3. Sleeping Mat
Inflatable mattresses are often a love/hate relationship with campers. They feel phenomenal to sleep on but when is the last time you saw someone volunteer to blow one up? Oh yeah, never….because those things are huge and take at least 10 minutes without an automatic pump. Sleeping mats provide an in-between. You can call it a mini blow up bed if you want because it still provides the comfort, it just takes half the time to inflate and use. They also take up less space within the tent so you can squeeze more items or people inside! Sleeping Mat, $35.03 Amazon.
4. Walkie Talkies
Do you remember playing with your parents or grandparents pair of walkie talkies like it was a cellphone? You can bring this old school technology back! Panic attacks are most often brought on when we can’t find our friends and our cell phone reception/battery fails us. Avoid the unnecessary stress by packing a few of these. I recommend equipping the “responsible” friends, because, well, these don’t work if you lose them in the crowd. 4-Pack Walkie Talkie, $44.99 Ebay.
5. Kiddie Pool
So many injuries occur due to heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, etc. BEAT THE HEAT. Buy a collapsible kiddie pool and become the responsible/life-saving camping site. They provide a quick escape from the heat and humidity. It sucks having to make a couple trips to the water pumps with buckets to fill it up but, when your friend is experiencing signs and symptoms of something serious, you won’t regret it. Kiddie Pool, $34.99 Toys R Us.
5. Wipes
Shower lines at camping festivals turn many campers off. As if the line wasn’t enough to steer you away…what about the costs ($15 for 5 minutes of lukewarm water?! C’mon, man)? I understand not wanting to deal with the line and costs, but don’t be that “stinky” friend. Bring a cheap pack of hygienic body wipes. It’s amazing how one wipe can make you feel like a whole new person! Cleansing Wipes, $8.99 The Vitamin Shoppe.
6. Portable Pocket Shower
Wipes not good enough? Want to avoid the massive shower line? Splurge a little on this eight-minute shower. The fabric heats your water up in the sun and the waterproof fabric ensures things won’t get moldy. They are very easy to fill and are leakproof. Pocket Shower, $29.95 REI.
7. Portable Washing Machine
Don’t freak out the next time you spill soda or food all over your festie clothes, you can clean them on the spot with this clever invention. The Scrubba wash bag features nodules that clean your clothes in minutes. It’s super light for easy transportation and eco-friendly! Scrubba Wash Bag, $64.96 Scrubba.
8. Portable Chargers
Many campers escape modern day technology by heading to the woods, but festival-goers need to stay connected! As long as you have a power cord packed for your electronics, these small chargers can power any small device. Even better, these portable devices run on batteries, so stock up on D-cell batteries and you’ll stay connected all weekend. Portable Electronic Charger, $26.99 Coleman.
9. Propane Coffee Maker
Ladies, there is no Starbucks in the forest. Avoid the caffeine withdrawals with this propane-powered coffee maker. It can brew up to 10 cups in 18 minutes. The base is also shatterproof so you won’t have to worry about damages while traveling. Propane Coffee Maker, $129.99 Coleman.
(If you’re feeling cheap, the Starbucks Via instant coffee offers a box of 12 servings for a little less than $10)
10. Stackable Cooksets
These are easy to clean and carry around. This pack gives you enough pans and storage containers to last the entire weekend. What more could you ask for?! Portable Cookset, $99.95 GSI Outdoors.
11. First-Aid Kit
Some adventures don’t always go as planned, so it’s important to prepare for the worst. You can buy inexpensive first-aid kits from large retailers, but it’s sometimes better to invest in these “mega kits.” This kit includes everything from vinyl gloves to triple antibiotic ointment. Don’t use this as an excuse to skip the medical tent for serious injuries! Lifeline First Aid Kit, $41.99 Northern Tool.
12. Organic Anti-Bug Balm
No one enjoys spraying harsh insect repellent on their skin and clothes. It not only smells but it’s often sticky and not too pleasant on the taste buds if you get some in the mouth. Avoid this hassle with this awesome alternative. Its easy to apply and doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals! If balms aren’t your thing, they also produce spray and sunscreen alternatives. Badger Anti-Bug Balm, $9.78 Balm Works.
13. Coolers
Coolers are an essential for any camping trip to avoid spoiled food and warm drinks. Look for easy-to-clean, waterproof and heavily insulated liners. It’s also beneficial to find coolers with separate compartments to help with organization. Coolers with wheels or arm straps are a bonus as well. REI Festival Ice Box, $64.50 REI.
14. Solar String Lights
Light up your campsite! Avoid the wires and buy some solar powered lights. LED lights can last around eight-hours after a day of soaking up the suns rays while you were out dancing around the festival. These solar-powered lights are water-proof as well, so you don’t have to worry about a drizzle here and there. 55ft 100 LED Solar String Fairy Lights, $15.99 Newegg.
15. Portable Lawn Chair
Travel chairs are easy to set up around the campsite, but they’re also great to tote around a festival if you like to chill in the back of the crowd and enjoy the music. Many lawn chairs are sold with lightweight carrying cases and feature a convenient beverage holder. TravelChair, $21.99 Real Recreation USA.
16. Parachute Hammock
Parachute hammocks are all the rage at Electric Forest. Who doesn’t enjoy comfortably reclining as the breeze rocks you back and forth? Parachute hammocks are easy to set up and super lightweight for travel. Find a hammock that can support you and a friend! Grand Trunk Double Parachute Nylon Hammock, $54.99 Hayneedle.
17. Toilet Paper
Toilet paper is one of the most underrated camping items of all time. DO NOT RELY ON THE TOILET PAPER IN PORT-A-POTTY’S. Be the smart group to bring your own pack. You won’t regret it. Charmin Ultra Strong, $6.97 Walmart.
_______________________________
We all know buying gear can be costly but, as long as you treat your gear properly it can last for ages! Split the costs with your camping tribe and splurge on these must haves. Be sure to check what each camping festival allows/prohibits in the camping grounds before packing any items, each festival is different!
You can catch us camping this summer at Counterpoint, Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Wakarusa, & many more!
