Backpacking/Hiking Accessories - Hiking and Camping Gear!

Safety Tip...

Be aware of your surroundings. Take notice of sights and sounds around you.

Jetboil - Hot Items

Hiking and Camping Gear

Jetboil accessories are the hottest camping/backpacking equipment on today's market, research and my neighbors (devoted campers/hikers) experience tells me this. You can rely on Jetboil for your hot food and drinks quickly and conveniently when you want them the most. Compact, light and Go Bag friendly, your Jetboil equipment won't let you down

Jetboil Sol Titanium Cooking System

Jetboil Sol Titanium Cooking System (Sand)
This has Thermo-Regulate technology which delivers consistent heat down to 20°F. It has a 0.8 liter Titanium FluxRing cooking cup, it's a pretty good piece of equipment for camping, my neighbor shall attest to that! You get a push-button igniter, and the pot is supplied with a stabilizer tripod. Comes with a Insulating drink-through lid, which doubles up as a measuring cup. This works in comparison with all Jetboil accessories. Nice and light, easy to set-up, have not got mine yet but I did receive an in-depth review and recommendation from the assistant at a well respected outdoor activity store. I do recommend that after you check the store prices out, check the prices from Amazon, I think you will be pleasantly pleased, Amazon usually comes in better.

The Tent!

Tents are great for shelter from storms, the sun, bugs and other natural elements. If you are hiking to your campsite, then you'll definitely want a lightweight tent than you can carry on your back, and that won't weigh you down.

One of these will still provide you with adequate shelter, without making you work too hard to get it to your destination.

Camping Backpacking Tent by Ledge Sports

Ledge Scorpion 2 Person Aluminum Pole Tent
Ledge Scorpion 2 Person Aluminum Pole Tent
It comes in at a pretty nice price and has some nice five star reviews, but I do recommend before making any purchase and unless you have it on good authority, to go visit a few outdoor stores and get some professional advice and reviews. I can tell you that this is a pretty fair price for this size and style of tent, however, you do need make sure it is the one for you, so it may be worth while in the long run to purchase from the store, there again, I always visit places, check equipment out and hit Amazon for the exact model, that way I know what I am getting, and it's usually a good deal Product Description Feature for feature the best tent on the market in price and specification. It includes full heat tape proprietary design, sturdy 2 aluminum pole assembly, and extensive waterproofing. It also provides exemplary internal storage and organization choices highlighting the dual door and vestibules.

Care for some nice camping gear?

Wenzel Roll N Go Mat
Wenzel Roll N Go Mat
This is a pretty nice self-inflating sleeping mat for your camping needs or even for when you feel the need to exercise. It comes in at a reasonable price, easy to carry with you and comfortable to sleep on. The fabric is nylon and it has received quite a few pleasing comments. At $35.03 and Amazon Prime it's a pretty good deal. One word of caution, it is reported that this weighs in around 2lbs and is not as compact as we all thought, never the less, it's a fair purchase and with what positive comments it has received it looks like it's a good buy!
