While the September school holidays are over, it won't be long before the Christmas break arrives. You know what that means - it’s time to go camping!

With overseas travel being put on hold for the time being, now is the perfect time to explore all the beautiful sights this vast country has to offer.

Whether you’re a camping veteran or an absolute novice, there are certain camping essentials that you don't want to be caught without. While necessary camping equipment such as tents, coolers and torches might seem obvious, they’re not the only things you need to remember.

In this blog, we’ve compiled a list of the top 3 things you need for your next camping trip but might have overlooked otherwise.

1. First Aid Kit

This one is a no brainer but in the heat of the moment, it can be easy to forget!

The Australian environment can be an unforgiving place, so ensuring you have a fully stocked and ample first aid kit is critical. Ensure you and your family have a safe camping trip this Christmas. 

Here at CAOS, we have several first aid kits that have absolutely everything you could possibly need included. 

Our favourite and one of our most popular products is the Survival Handy First Aid Kit.

2. Multi Tool  

There are few situations in which this item wouldn't be able to get you out of. 

Need to scale a fish, open a bottle or remove a hook? A multi tool allows you to be the useful person in the room. 

There are a range of multi tools currently available in store and online at CAOS. 

If you’re needing one to have on the go, the CAOS Mini Multi-Tool Key Ring is perfect for you. While it still features all the essentials including a bottle opener, mini knife and ruler, it's also compact and fits perfectly on your keyring - meaning you'll never lose it. 

If you’re after something more tactical, the CAOS Tactical Multi-Tool with Nylon Belt Pouch is the right fit for you, with 15 different functions and a quality nylon belt pouch included. 

3. Hammock

When was the last time you relaxed in a hammock? They are as comfortable as you remember. 

Lighter than a camp chair, the CAOS Hammock can support up to 300 kgs and can be packed up with almost no effort in seconds.

Furthermore, our hammock is mildew proof and available in several different colours.

If you were considering making this hammock a present for a budding adventurer this Christmas, consider a CAOS Chill Out Pack featuring a Bluetooth Speaker and a CAOS Hammock
