Camping gear: What to buy?
Being prepared is of utmost importance when venturing in the great outdoors. If you want a fun adventure and not a real adventure make sure you have everything you need to cover all possibilities. Your camping gear will vary according to the type of camping and activities you have in mind, where you are going, the time of year and the length of the trip.
Gearing Up With Headlamps and Summer Camping Gear
Now that the weather in the Northern Hemisphere is turning warming, my thoughts are turning to all the fun I’m planning to have out in the mountains and on the trails as I head out and do some real hiking and climbing. This year will be a bit different as I think my oldest boy, who is nearly four, is about the right age to start learning about hiking and camping. He is really stoked about the idea, but before we both head out I’m going to have to do a bit of shopping. I’ve already sorted myself out with a new pair of hiking boots.

This time, despite my long love for Petzl gear, I thought I would try a change and I bought a Mammut Lucido headlamp. It has a few quirks that set it apart from the ones that I have used in the past.

The Benefits of LED Headlamps
LED headlamps are great little gadgets to have around the house, to use for recreation and in emergency kits. These headlamps use LED lights which take much less energy than regular lights so that last for a very long time. Typically you get LED headlamps for $20-$100 depending on the amount of light you require, what kind of activities you’ll be using it for and so forth. There are a lot of different kinds of headlamps on the market today but my favorite model so far is made by Petzl who are known for the high quality headlamps they make fro outdoor recreation.
