Our top 5 items you cannot camp without
If the global pandemic has taught us something, its to love and appreciate our own country and exploring it has become a bucket-list item many want to tick off.
With South Africa’s cozy winters awaiting us, travelers are seeking modern and luxurious ways in which to set up camp. From rooftop tents to aeropress coffees, camping is no longer a tent and air mattress.
Many campers, and their families, want to travel in style and this means adding touches of home for comfort and familiarity.
Here are our top 5 items no camper should leave home without:
1. Caffeine
Need we say more?
Fortunately Society Cappuccinos has launched a new flavour!
Society Mochaccino combines two things most people can’t live without – coffee and chocolate!
Available at Checkers
2. 100% cotton
100% Cotton Turkish towels and throws from The Cotton Company – not only beautiful to look at, but these pieces of art are durable, versatile, dries very quickly and fold up incredibly small. It’s a no brainer really. They turn your camper van into a luxurious haven all while transforming into sarongs / mosquito nets / picnic blankets / and so much more! These babies will make your life easy and comfortable in the great outdoors. We recommend the Stonewashed or Diamanta Stripe Turkish Towels and the Bohemian or Herringbone.
3. Solar powered lighting
4. Stance Divide hiking crew sock
Hike the hills in comfort and confidence with the Stance Divide Hiking Crew Sock. Made perfectly for low to high impact activities, the sock features moderate cushioning throughout for a secure fit and enhanced impact protection.
The Cape Union Mart website has a very informative article on how to choose the correct hiking socks.
5. A good local book
Being outdoors allows us to reset, rest and to spend time with nature, yourself as well as your family. Being distracted by technology makes us forget how much we love getting lost in a book but now is the time to turn those pages.
We recommend supporting local authors: Read Get Ova It! By Devon Brough! Available at Exclusive Books.
