Upgrade Your Camping Experience!

Tent. Check. Sleeping bags. Check. Cooler. Check. So what else should we bring on our camping trip? Whether you’re a minimalist camper or someone who likes to bring along a few of the comforts of home, Whole Earth offers a robust selection of campsite accessories for you. Some items will be considered necessities for almost any camper. Here are a few of our favorites that you may find useful.

SealLine Baja View Dry Bag 20L

Being organized can help streamline setting up camp by cutting down on the time spent searching for specific items through multiple bags. Packing items that are used together in one bag or box makes sense. And if you’ve longed for x-ray eyes to find a particular item in a box or bag, the SealLine Baja View Dry Bags may be just what you’re looking for. They’re made of a tough, waterproof translucent material so you can see what’s in the bag without opening it. The oval base keeps the bag upright and easy to store, pack and stack.

AeroPress Go

Does your day get off to a rocky start without that hot cup of homebrewed coffee? Same for us. And just because we’re camping doesn’t mean that our morning cup has to be subpar. The AeroPress Go was made for use while traveling. Its compact design makes it perfect for camping or backpacking. All the coffee making tools are stored in the travel mug ready to be deployed when needed. All we need to add is hot water and ground coffee for a great start to the day.

GSI Outdoors Selkirk 540 Camp Stove

If you enjoy cooking and eating great food while camping, a cook stove is a must. The GSI Outdoors Selkirk Camp Stove is a double burner, high output propane fueled stove. Its adjustable controls can handle a range of cooking temperatures from simmer to fast boil. It’s ready at daybreak to make your coffee, a delicious breakfast, lunch and a hearty dinner plus cocoa at bedtime. You’ll appreciate the wraparound windscreens on breezy days.  

GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Camper

If you’re wondering about the pots and pans to use with your camp stove, consider the GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Camper. The set includes 2L and 3L pots with strainer lids, a 9 inch fry pan and a folding pot gripper for cooking. For eating there are four plates, four bowls and four insulated mugs with sip lids.  It all nests into the larger pot and packs into a carrier that doubles as a sink or wash basin, saving time and space when packing and on site.

Industrial Revolution Stormproof Sweetfire Strikeable Matches 

If you’re in charge of the campfire, you’ll want to have an Industrial Revolution Stormproof Sweetfire Strikeable Match on hand.  Imagine a match and a firestarter in one small package. It’s made of sugarcane waste infused with wax. Light the point using the striker strip on the box, and it will burn for seven minutes. Lay your fire, light it, have the S’mores fixings and your favorite beverages close at hand, and you’ll be ready for a fun evening with family and friends.

Adventure Medical Kits Family First Aid Kit

If you’re taking the kids camping, it’s good to be prepared for emergencies. Kids can become so engrossed in exploration that a misstep can result in a skinned knee, a sprain or worse. The Family First Aid Kit from Adventure Medical is child-focused and includes Caring for Children in the Outdoors, a comprehensive guide to first aid for children and a wide range of first aid supplies appropriate for children and adults.  The Family First Aid Kit also includes a mini kit that can be carried in a backpack, stroller or diaper bag.
