Today’s post is sponsored by Stanley Brand, but my love for their camping essentials is all my own!Â
Next week, the family and I are going camping. It’s something that we really like to do together! My daughter especially loves it and wants it to be as an authentic of an experience as possible.
That means “Roughing It”!
She wants to cook everything on a campfire, sleep in a tent, catch fish and eat them for dinner. I was never that big into camping as a kid, but seeing her get so excited about something, makes me want to jump in with both feet. One thing that I did notice very quickly, was that we always seemed to forget something. So, I started making a checklist of the important supplies we needed to have a fun and safe camping experience.
Don’t Forget Your #Stanleyness!
1. Cooking Supplies – If you’re cooking in the outdoors, you need reliable equipment to prepare all of your meals. We use the Stanley Adventure Camp Cook Set. This simple, smart cook set from Stanley includes a small pot and 2 cups for whipping together quick meals while you’re camping or backpacking. You can use it to cook stews, beans and soups. It is easy to clean and very compact!
2. Reliable Cooler – We like to bring bottled water, hot dogs and other items that need to be refrigerated. Yes, you can get a cooler anywhere. But, are you going to find a cooler that is reliable and multi-functional? The Stanley 16 quart cooler can keep supplies cold for 27 hours and can also fit up to 21 cans. There is a place to securely store extra items and it also can be used as a chair when you need somewhere to sit. Headed for your favorite camping spot or a weekend music festival? Keep your food fresh and your drinks icy cold with the Stanley 16 Quart Adventure Cooler.
3. Roomy Tent – We found out very quickly, the best tent for us, was one that was roomy. The three of us are very comfortable in a six person tent. There is enough room to move around and be comfortable, whether we’re sleeping or waiting out a rainstorm. It packs up and travels really easy.
Another Great Tip Is…
We always check out REI before we go on a camping trip, to stock up on supplies and get great prices on the latest camping equipment.
