Camping is one of the few activities that is relatively unaffected by the COVID19 epidemic. Going out into the woods and spending a few days and nights away from the rest of civilization actually sounds like a good plan these days. Plus, it’s summer and it’s just damn fun to do when the temps start to rise. Putting together a camping checklist can be quite the undertaking any year, let alone a year like this. We can help you with that and hopefully provide some much needed peace of mind. Let’s look at some of the camping essentials you’ll want to take with you on your next outdoor adventure.

Camp Stove + Charging Station

Years ago, this would have seemed more like a luxury item and less like a necessity, but as high tech devices that require a daily battery charge have further integrated themselves into our lives, it has become more and more essential to bring a reliable charging station wherever you go. Also essential for camping, especially if you’re backpacking into a campsite or are in a “no fire pit” zone, is a camp stove. With the BioLite campstove charging station, you can get both! This state of the art gadget is the perfect mix of high tech gadgetry and camping essentials. It is a really well designed portable camping stove that can be used to cook all of your meals over and it also converts the heat that is generated into electricity. It even comes with a detachable charging station so you can charge your electronics elsewhere during the day and then reattach it during dinnertime to charge.
