Gear to Go Camping

Dometic GO Hydration Water Jug

New from Dometic is the first bit of water storage innovation we have seen in a while. The Hydration Water Jug 11 lets you easily store and pour 11 litres of water as you need. It has multiple dispensing options built in, including two openings for easy filling, dispensing and cleaning - you can fit your whole hand inside to clean when need be. Being 11 litres, some people might feel it doesn't have enough storage, but keep in mind, this also makes it way more transportable than a typical 20-litre jerry - meaning the kids can lug some stuff around camp as well. And it is built tougher than the standard too. It comes with removable webbing handles that double as tie-down points, and the pièce de résistance of this could well be the portable, self powered pump that they are calling the water faucet.

Dometic GO Hydration Water Faucet

This portable, self-powered water faucet is a fantastic addition to the Go Water Jug. A nice and simple onetouch operation with automatic shut-off for water conservation and an integrated LED light for night-time/low-light use makes this fun for the whole family. A single charge will deliver 150 litres of water before having to recharge via the USB port. This makes water delivery a real piece of cake in an expandable and compact format.

Bahco Knife

You have to love the Swedish. They have gifted the world, amongst other things, ABBA, Ikea, Spotify, Volvo, Greta Thunberg (ok so she might not be a gift), the Swedish Chef and Bahco. Bahco started back in 1862 with the company cutting its teeth producing high quality steel before producing their own fish hooks. The adjustable spanner soon followed before bi-metal hacksaw blades heralded a new era of metal-cutting blade technology. The Bahco brand, a fish and hook, pays tribute to their origins. Known the world over for their continued commitment to high quality hand tools, their current range of knives certainly do not disappoint. We recently managed to get our hands on the Bahco 2444 Mora Stainless Steel Knife and I must say we are quite impressed. This multi-purpose knife is 220mm long and has a blade of 102mm. The highquality steel blade, synonymous with the Bahco brand, offers fishermen, hunters and general outdoorsy types an extremely functional knife. It would be equally at home serving duty in the tucker box. The bi-component handle offers the user plenty of grip, especially when preparing game, and keeps the overall weight of the knife to just below 'bugger all'. With a recommended retail price of less than $18, these are the perfect addition to any adventure seeker’s kit. You can grab yours from a247.com.au

It’s easy to keep clean and can be used as a wind break or even a shelter from the sun and is equipped with multiple d-rings to make pegging it out or tying it up easy. Even if cut, the Multimat shouldn’t fray or tear and it is easy to keep clean, simply by hosing it off or wiping it down. Caravan parks love them as they don’t kill the grass underneath.

CGear Three in One Multimat

The clever people at CGear have been producing innovative products for the caravan industry for some time now, but it was one of their other products, the Multimat, which was designed to be used as a easily deployable helicopter landing mat that is finding other uses. You see, the Multimat was designed to reduce the amount of debris being whipped up into the air with the landing and taking off of a helicopter. The team quickly realised that there were other, more recreational uses for it. The Multimat allows for sand and dirt to fall through and is perfect for creating a floor in an awning, under a marquee or even under/ around camp furniture. Being UV stabilized, the sun’s rays wont destroy it too quickly and being made of non-absorbent material, it won’t rot or encourage mould growth.
