ecomat

The thing is, you can’t build a tent using normal lego blocks but if you use the ones made by Ecomat, you’re open to a whole new set of possibilities.

Making coffee with the Perfect Brew Cone from Melitta is one of the cheapest ways of making great tasting coffee fairly quickly.

Toddy T2N Cold Brew System – If You’re Not Sure about the Hourglass

toddyt2ncoldbrew

Cold-brewed coffee is great for camping because it doesn’t require heat or electricity and probably nothing does it better than the Toddy T2N Cold Brew System.

For those who don’t like sleeping on the ground, there are two options; you can either use a camping cot or a camping hammock. Camping cots are great for camping but they’re too heavy for backpacking. Remember that you’ll also need to carry the tent. A hammock tent is a great option for backpacking because they’re [...]

Some backpackers carry 2 camping knives, usually one inside the backpack [...]
