Make a list of things you need for your camping trip this summer in advance so that when you arrive on site your not missing anything.
Once the tent is all set up its time to have some fun so why not get out the remote control helicoptereven though the Mini X Gyro is easy to fly I would advise a few flying lessons in the garden before you take to the sky on the campsite.
The Light My Fire Firesteel has a razor sharp ‘lock-out’ serrated blade, by using the back of the blade on the firesteel rod will enable you to light stoves, barbeques, dry grass and bark, so dont rely on the matches or lighter. Another great benefit is that can be used in windy, wet and cold conditions.The slp2 survival tool makes a great gift for any adventure seeker, any age for more ideas look at the gifts for him section of the site.
Complete with four of the most essential tools for survival this knife spotrs a black titanium finished handle and stainless steel blade, as well as flashlight, rescue whistle and firelighter.
If you want to do your bit for the planet then why not invest in a wind up LED lantern which will never fail you in the middle of the night, and will save you money.
As well as being reliable, the 5 super bright LEDs can provide you with 25 minutes of light after just 1 minute of winding, alternatively this models also comes with an in car charger!
As well a gas stove for cooking I also like to take along a portable barbecue, as this is one of my favourite outdoor toys, one such as the ‘Darwin BBQ’ has an ingenious carry case design with a removable ash pan for easy cleaning.
The sturdy steel construction is impressive too, unlike the cheap disposables where the food usually ends up rolling onto the floor.
