Most Useful Items for Camping and Hiking

After months indoors, it’s time to return to nature for fresh air and relaxation. Whether you’re seeking a socially distanced getaway or simply an escape from work and routine, a few days camping in the mountains or on a wild beach will recharge you fully.

Where to Go

Choose a scenic camping spot—mountains like the Carpathians offer countless locations. For remote beach options, consider Gura Portiței, Corbu, Vadu, Perișor, Tuzla, or Sfântul Gheorghe. You may not be the only one there, but the peace is worth the journey.

Essential Camping Gear

1. Foldable Cart

Perfect for carrying supplies where vehicles can’t reach. Great for transporting food, drinks, camping furniture, cookware, and even toys. On the way back, it helps carry your trash to the nearest bin.

2. Foldable Table and Chairs

Nature is wonderful, but so is sitting comfortably with a meal off the ground. Quality, portable furniture can also be used in your garden or balcony.

3. Gas Stove

Essential for more than just grilling. Use it to cook a variety of meals and make coffee, especially when fire pits are unavailable. Compact and easy to use with a gas canister.

4. Portable Cooler

Keep your drinks and food chilled wherever you are. Can be powered via car or motorhome, and even used at home for extra cooling space.

5. Water Filter Bottle

6. Portable Kitchen Unit

Bring a touch of comfort with a foldable kitchen cabinet equipped with shelves, insect protection, counter space, utensil hooks, and a sink basin. Perfect for extended stays in tents or camper vans.

8. Food Covers

Protect your food from insects and dust with stylish and practical mesh covers. Great for outdoors and garden use too.

9. Flashlight

Never rely solely on your phone. A sturdy flashlight is a survival essential. Look for one with a clip or magnet for hands-free use.

A 24-piece kit with everything: spatula, tongs, fork, knife, cleaning brush, cutlery for 4, skewers, salt & pepper shakers, thermometer, lighter, and heat glove—all in a compact case. Just add meat and sunshine.
