Camping tools for the best outdoor experience

When going camping or driving across the country in your caravan, make sure you have all necessary camping tools with you. vidaXL has a selection of camping tools for every type of situation: installing the tent, campfire cooking, for camping safety, or small medical emergencies. Both amateurs and skilled mountaineers must be ready for every unforeseeable situation. We have some tips for organising a safe and fun camping trip. 

A list of crucial camping tools for you

There are several camping tools you should always bring with you when camping: 

• a sturdy utility knife

• a versatile multi-tool

• a padlock

• a survival multi-tool. 

Don’t forget to get a pocket screwdriver, a folding shovel (for making a small hole to start the fire), a carabiner or carabiner with a multi-tool. Bring with you a few spare batteries for your most used devices!

Useful camping tools for seaside or mountain trips

Setting the tent can either be a fun task, or a burden. Make sure you have all the necessary camping tools and accessories to make sure you enjoy every camping activity. For a tent, you need: extra pegs and spikes, a few meters of guyline (with tensioner) in case the old one has rotten, a peg puller (makes it easier to uninstall the tent really fast), and rubber repair patches with glue (in case you need to mend small holes in your tent on a rainy day). For extensive camping trips to the seaside or mountains, we recommend including a foot air compressor for inflatable mattresses. Also, you should get a magnetic insect door for your caravan if you are going fishing and you want to camp close to the water.

Camping details and useful tips

Don’t forget to bring the classic tools in your backpack: a utility light or lantern (or even a head lamp), a roll of duct tape, matches, and a lighter. A few cooking utensils and barbecue tools will also come in handy. And mostly, make sure that all the medicine in the medical kit is still safe to use. Moreover, keep your phone charged and the weather forecast apps up to date.
