Our favorite Christmas gifts for campers, carefully selected to suit all budgets
It’s no secret that Peter and I have a difference of opinion when it comes to camping. On our round the world trip, he carried around 4kg of camping gear For a whole year Hoping to see the appeal. We camped for 10 days.
I will Camp under duress. Sometimes, it was worth it – the Salkantay trek, the Simien Mountains, the Uluru rock tour – but in general, I prefer a hot shower and a warm bed at the end of the day.
In contrast, Peter would live his life under the canvas if that were socially acceptable. He has about three different tents, four sleeping bags, five hiking boots, and a partridge in a pear tree. Like other outdoorsmen, it can be difficult to buy because he already owns a lot of gear. If you’re similarly stuck, consider one of these Christmas gifts for campers, carefully selected to suit all budgets.
