Essential Camping Gear for Off-Road Enthusiasts

At TrailBuilt, we specialize in selling wheels and tires directly on our website. However, today, we want to take a break from our usual focus and talk about something close to our off-road enthusiast hearts: camping and the gear that makes our outdoor adventures more enjoyable.

In this post, we will share the camping gear that accompanies us on our adventures, why we love it, and how it enhances our camping experience.

BioLite FirePit: A Smokeless Campfire Solution

A good campsite isn't complete without a fire. While you don't need a high-tech fire pit, having one can significantly enhance your camping experience. The BioLite FirePit runs on a battery and uses a fan to blow air into the fire, reducing smoke and providing a clean burn. It's perfect for campsites and patios, thanks to its small, modular design. The BioLite FirePit also has a rack on top for cooking, making it a versatile addition to your camping gear. It features a charging port for devices like phones or flashlights, and the battery is protected from heat, ensuring safety.

While not everyone may want to invest in a battery-operated fire pit, the convenience, ease of use, and smokeless operation make the BioLite FirePit worth considering.

Comfortable Seating: Camp Chairs for Every Budget

A comfortable place to sit is crucial for a great camping experience. Unless you plan to sit on logs or lay on a blanket, investing in a camp chair is wise. We found a budget-friendly option on Amazon for around $50. It's lightweight, easy to set up, and comes with a carrying bag, making it perfect for travelers and hikers.

For those willing to spend more, the GCI Pico Chair offers durability and comfort. It's compact, has a breathable mesh design, and includes multiple pockets for convenience. With a price of around $115, it's available in gray and blue and is perfect for those seeking a long-lasting, durable chair.

Sawyer Bug Repellent: Keep the Bugs at Bay

Up in Northeast Wisconsin, mosquitoes can be a real nuisance. To combat this, we use Sawyer insect repellent, which has proven to be highly effective. It protects against mosquitoes carrying diseases like Zika and West Nile virus and also works against ticks. The non-staining formula can be applied to tents, backpacks, and clothes. Available in spray cans, trigger bottles, and small spritzers, it's a must-have for any camping trip.

Sea to Summit Dinnerware and Sink: Eat and Clean with Ease

Sea to Summit offers compact dinnerware, including a cup, bowl, plate, spoon, fork, and knife, all in a carrying case. It's perfect for keeping your gear organized and comes with a carabiner for easy storage.

Their foldable sink is a great addition to your camping setup. Compact and portable, it allows for easy dishwashing and folds into a small bag for convenient packing.

Sawyer Water Filters: Ensure Safe Drinking Water

Water is essential when camping, and Sawyer's water filtration system is perfect for ensuring clean drinking water. The filter can be used with a straw to drink directly from natural sources like rivers and lakes or attached to a one-gallon water bag for filtration on the go. It's compact, lightweight, and ideal for emergencies.

Tailgater Tire Table: A Simple and Effective Solution

The Tailgater Tire Table is an ingenious product that fits around your tire, providing a sturdy table surface. It fits tires up to 40 inches and features an adjustable leg for stability. Lightweight and made of aluminum, it's easy to transport and set up, making it a valuable addition to any campsite.

Fenix Flashlight: Light Up Your Campsite

The Fenix WT16R flashlight is a versatile and reliable lighting solution. With six modes, including an orange flashing emergency light, it's perfect for various situations. Offering 300 lumens and long battery life, it's durable, waterproof, and dustproof, with a compact design that makes it easy to carry.
