Outdoor Gear that fits your needs.

Outdoor gear is such a generic phrase.                            With all the camping accessories that are available you need a better way to find your exact needs.  The best method is to break camp gear down into smaller categories. You can then concentrate on whatever camping equipment you are looking for without a lot of wasted time.

The Bare Essentials:   This category consists of your basic survival gear.  This is the least you should have with you for even a simple hiking excursion.   Your gear should include items such as a Swiss Army Knife or multi-tool (the Leatherman Wave or GERBER 05500 MULTI-PLIER 400 COMP SPORT are a popular choices), a hiking staff or hiking stick, rain gear (if appropriate), waterproof matches, a small alcohol stove or a backpacking stove, and of course a canteen.  Your survival equipment should include a lightweight emergency first aid kit and space blanket.  It would also be prudent to have some backpacking food.  Its amazing how much can fit into an ultralight backpack that will not hinder your outdoor experience and should the need arise you'll be happy you were prepared.

Around the Campsite:   These are the outdoor products that make for a pleasant camping trip.  Items such as lanterns, camp stoves, Coleman coolers, camping chairs, camping tables, camping games and even outdoor showers.  You may prefer a propane stove to an alcohol stove in your camping kitchen, or an led lantern to gas lanterns.  You might consider the pre-prepared camping food an alternative to your normal groceries.   These camping accessories are as varied as you desire, with manufacturers as well known as Coleman Camping products and as specialized as Nitro-Pak.

Specialty Equipment:   Rock climbing...Mountain climbing...alpine climbing?  Of course these outdoor activities require the most specialized equipment in the camping world.   Choice of climbing equipment, such as a climbing rope, a climbing harness or any type of sport climbing gear requires a great deal of knowledge.   You are now at the epitome of survival equipment.  From your choice of climbing shoes to your foul weather gear, no other decision can play such an integral role in your outdoor survival.
