Camping. Open to discussion and debate when you make your summer getaways plans with your group. Because, honestly, when you make a quick thought about camping or if you have no experience at all, you mostly equate it with inconvenience or maybe dirt or, even worse, lack of sleep and tiredness; or maybe just a way to go for vacations without breaking the bank. And you might all be right. Because camping can be precisely as described above, BUT only if you are not well-prepared. And since I’m not the easiest person on earth when it comes to vacations –who wouldn’t prefer a 5* hotel with countless amenities and spoil-me-as-much-as-possible services?- I’ve done a lot of research on it (after all, I had to try it once in order to state my opinion more confidently). But, honestly, after camping with the aid of Gander Mountain -the absolute expert on outdoor living- I can now tell that camping can be as amusing as the above 5* case – and now the only problem I find is that they have proven me wrong! So the only thing I can argue about now is that you surely need to find good company and then, leave the rest to Gander MNT- with 18 different camping-related main categories, countless products and solutions and unbeatable prices and offers you will get everything you need for a luxurious camping adventure!
Relaxation & Comfort
The first thing you have to care about when getting ready for camping is definitely your sleep! But to sleep, you need a tent –unless you are way too adventurous and prefer sleeping under the stars! So, first off you need to equip yourself with a huge tent like the Slumberjack Camp 8 Family Tent with large windows, separate spaces, waterproof construction and great design for easy setup but most of all with a $100 discount! Now, if you wonder why I propose a tent that is that big, it’s because it can fulfil all needs; families, pets (because of the middle part) and people like me who bring all their stuff with them even when going to camp –who said that you can’t change a bikini every hour?! And now, to the most important part: sleeping. Gander Mountain promises to offer you a sleeping experience similar to your king-size bed at home. Speaking of which, you can get the Intex Recreation Queen Supreme Airflow Air Bed With Integrated Pump which comes with a $50 discount and it’s super comfortable, guarantees fast inflation and sweet dreams! As for a pillow, take one from home –we are all so closely connected with our pillows, so I know it’s too hard to replace it!
Cleanness & Convenience
The next thing you have to put in your gigantic SUV (because if you go on following my advice you’ll definitely need a huge one) is the Guide Series Camp Shower with overhead loft, shelf and clothes line plus excellent ventilation, because being a camper doesn’t mean you have to get rid of your daily habits! And most of all you don’t have to be diffuse odors! Let the nature do that! Also, if you can’t stand the cold water you can get the Zodi Hot Tap Travel Shower Kit which holds up to 4-gallons for your shower. You can now take both of them and save with the $20 off Gander Mountain promo code. And finally, if you want to bring the comfort of your toilet to your campsite, you can also buy a portable toilet that will definitely make you feel like you have your entire bathroom at the great outdoors!
Safety & Protection
While at the outdoors you might have the same feeling as being at home (especially if you get all of the above) but the nature is more unpredictable than you think, so you definitely need to take some extra measures in case of an emergency. First of all, you need a good medical kit, like the Orion Marine First Aid Weekender Kit which includes ammonia inhalant, cold pack, scissors and more and comes with a small case so as to save you space but also with a $10 off discount –to save you money too! Then, you need to take with you products for insect control, like the ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent Outdoor Lantern for the ultimate protection from biting insects! You can now get this one and take advantage of a discount. And finally, for the worst case scenario, it would be a great idea if you had something like the Sabre Pink Pepper Spray Keychain for personal defense. You can now get this product that protects 8 to 10 feet for just $9.99.
