Cheap camping gear every hiker needs

Cheap camping gear every hiker needs

It doesn't matter if you are a professional or an amateur. If you go hiking, you have to carry some items that are essential to ensure your health and safety. You can't miss a map, compass or GPS, although there are also other accessories that are equally important. Visiting national parks and exploring local ecosystems is one of Canadians' favorite pastimes. There is nothing better than the great outdoors to get away from the stress of work and recharge your batteries. In Canada there are several big stores that sell camping gear at very good prices. You can visit them or browse their website if you don't have much time. Below is a list of camping gear that every hiker needs.

Tent

The tent has to be number one on your list. It is the main item if we are going camping and it becomes our biggest shelter in case of emergency or severe weather. There are different types of tents and the choice will depend on the number of people undertaking the trip. You can opt for one large tent to sleep all the hikers or split up and take more than one tent. At Bass Pro Shop you'll find find tents for up to eight people, ranging in price from $499 to $1299. They feature rain and snow resistance and incorporate hidden pockets for better storage.

Flashlight or lantern

Light will be indispensable during the night and even more so in forests as thick as those in Canada. It will allow you to monitor everything around and you will be able to sleep peacefully and safely, without fear that a bear might attack you. There are some aspects that you should take into account: that it has a bright light, that it can withstand knocks and falls, and that it has long-lasting batteries. At Cabela's you can find combos of three flashlights for $39. There are some more sophisticated flashlights that go for as much as $74, such as the Coleman brand flashlights.

Travel backpack

When you go hiking you carry a lot of luggage and a suitcase won't do. We must buy a hiking backpack that is suitable for our activity and that allows us to carry everything in the same bag. At Sports Experts there are backpacks for $159. This is the Osprey Skarab 18 backpack, which has a total volume capacity of 18 liters and many zippered compartments to carry everything you need. It's ideal for a three day hike.

GPS watch

Gone are the days of the map and compass, and today many hikers prefer to carry a sports watch with GPS. It is a very important device to know where we are located and have no inconvenience when we are undertaking the return journey. At Atmosphere there are a variety of GPS watches ranging from $158 to $679. The variation in price depends on the features incorporated in each device.
