Heading into the great outdoors can be an exhilarating experience, offering a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. However, to truly enjoy your camping adventure, proper preparation is essential.
Whether you’re a seasoned camper or planning your first outing, knowing what to pack can make or break your trip. To help you get it right, we spoke with Nick Madrick, the COO of M22, a renowned company specializing in outdoor gear and adventures.
Drawing on his extensive expertise, Nick shares the five essential items you need to ensure your camping trip is both safe and enjoyable. From must-have gear to practical tips, our expert-fueled guide will prepare you for any road trip or wilderness excursion.
“This is literally the only knife set you’ll need for the rest of your life,” Madrick rhapsodized. “These knives are so sharp they can cut through anything. Well, maybe not anything but there is not a type of food that they can’t slice through. You’ll want to cook more by just owning this set. The travel pouch comes with a small cutting board, cleaning cloth, sharpener, and three different knives for all your cooking needs.”
“Is this the best mobile power station ever? It just might be,” Madrick mused. “Not only can this recharge your phone, computer, and drone, and act as a flashlight, but in the event you need to air up your tires after hitting the trail it can successfully and quickly bring all four tires from mid-20 psi to 35 psi in just a matter of minutes. It might be small but it delivers some serious power when out on the road.”
“I traded in carrying around my computer bag for this mobile fire pit and I couldn’t be happier with my choice,” Madrick raved. “I can literally have a campfire anywhere I go. This pop-up fire pit is not only extremely well-built but it packs down into a small carrying bag. It comes with grill inserts if you want to cook over the fire or coals.”
“I’ve sat behind a lot of tables in my life and this is by far my favorite,” Madrick said. “This table acts as a desk during the day and a dining table by night. It easily folds up so you can take it anywhere with you on a road trip. Who doesn’t like looking up from their computer and seeing the mountains when working mobile?”
“I’ve tested every single drink you can imagine in this cup,” Madrick explained. “Sunrise coffee, afternoon wine, sunset cocktails, and even tea before bed. This 12oz cup continues to hold not only great tasting beverages for me while I’m on the road but it keeps my hot drinks hot and my cold drinks cold. This is the only cup you’ll need on your next road trip. Rinse with water and repeat.”
