Five Christmas gift ideas for camping

The holiday season has arrived again this year and we at Camping Freedom do not want to be caught unprepared. We know that camping enthusiasts are always active in all seasons and in all climates and we don't want them to miss our support. A gift is always welcome and, at Christmas time, we take the opportunity to suggest five items that you can give to lovers of outdoor life.

Very often in camping you have to wear heavy shoes for many hours a day, especially during a long walk. For this reason we thought to suggest you some trekking socks made of recycled material, eco-friendly and, above all, anti-odour: you can order them online in various sizes, they are not exactly cheap (about 25€ for each pair) but they are definitely worth their price.

Lately we've been concerned to give you some suggestions on how to make your camping experience as eco-friendly as possible; the gift we suggest you keep on the same track since it's a camping stove powered by bio fuel. Simply place small branches, wood or any other natural material in the combustion chamber and you get a flame without the need to use flammable liquids, thus also avoiding carrying extra weight in your equipment. There are various models on the internet and the average price is between 25€ and 70€.

Looking for comfort is one of the biggest challenges for campers: rough terrain, unnatural positions trying to sleep and various kinds of pain are just some of the enemies of camping. That's why giving away an inflatable pillow can be a very good idea; first of all, you can adjust its volume to your liking, it adapts well to any type of bed and, not to be underestimated, it is practically space-saving during transport as it deflates in seconds. The range of choice of this item that can be found online or in specialized stores is really huge, as well as the price range: it starts from 3€ for the simplest and most minimal version up to 40€ for a real ergonomic inflatable support suitable for those who have posture problems. You can have fun in short.

One of the constant problems that campers and campers have to deal with is keeping mosquitoes away: the presence of this insect can ruin any kind of experience you are living and since the dawn of time man has been looking for the most efficient way to keep it away. Even if it may appear as the simplest solution, killing mosquitoes is neither the right nor the most logical: for every mosquito killed, two more arrive. Keeping them away can be the winning strategy. Mosquitoes are a suitable gift for the purpose: there are ultrasonic, wood-emitting or luminous mosquitoes. Choose the one you think is the best and get ready to spend between €15 and €30.

Finally, here is probably our most obvious but also most useful suggestion: a waterproof bag/backpack, to carry anything even in damp environments or in the pouring rain. We camping enthusiasts know how important it is to keep your equipment dry and that's why we value the advantages of owning such an item. Quoting a famous saying, we might not have to worry about the cost of buying such a backpack, but if you have to keep an eye on your wallet, prices range from 25€ for a small container to over 200€ for a backpack with extended capacity of one of the most famous brands.
