Camping equipment

If you are going camping, caravanning or hiking; in fact any activity where you are going to be staying in the bush then this should be your first stop. Our catalogue of equipment grows all the time so keep coming back.

Categories available in this catalogue:

Oztents
The Oztent is famous for being quick to set up, 30 seconds is the norm. The range has a large number of add-ons that make these tents very versatile.

Conventional tents
A range of more conventional tents for camping out.

Oztrail Tents
Oztrail Leisure Products are used and tested out in the field, and so they have been proven to be good quality products that will make your outdoor experience a great one.

Sleeping bags
In our opinion there should be no comprominse when it comes to your sleeping bag. If you are going to be cold and miserable on your holiday in the great outdoors - why bother?

Here is our range of good quality sleeping bags that will not take up too much space in your car or rucksack.

Sleeping kit
The tents and sleeping bags have their own section, this is for all the rest. a range of pillows, mattresses, stretchers and anything else related to getting a good night's sleep.

Around the campsite
The toys that make your camping trip a bit more comfortable.

Camping chairs
Choose from a range of fold up chairs for camping, caravanning, sports days or any other activity where you need to take your own chair.

Coolers
Let's face it, being outdoors is no fun without ice. After all who enjoys a hot G&T or Scotch?

A good quality cooler box just makes life that little more pleasant, and allows you to spend more time in the bush rather than driving to and from town to get ice, fresh meat or milk because you can't keep a stock cold enough.

Fridge/freezers
If you are going away for an extended trip, or want to be able to make ice then browse through this list, you are sure to find a unit to suit your needs.

Picnic sets
A range of picnic and braai sets; from the basic to the comprehensive containing everything you need for your picnic, barring the food.

Stainless steel flasks
Rugged and reliable stainless steel vacuum flasks and mugs.

Stainless steel utensils
A range of stainless steel cooking and eating utenslis for your camping/picnic kit. Stainless steel has many advantages over plastic. Not only is it more durable and heat resistant you don't run the risk of contaminating your food or drink with chemicals leaching out.

Hip flasks
For that little nip of medicinal brandy just to take the chill out of a cold winter's evening at the side of the dam.

OK, so that's the romantic version. For the more practical a hip flask lets you share a few toots of your favourite poison with your mates.

They make great personalised gifts too.

Travel mugs
Mugs for your car that will maintain your drink's temperature, and keep it in the mug rather than in your lap.

First aid kits
Life is full of things that you hope you never need, but that better be there if you do. Blood, parachutes and first aid kits for example.

Well, here are the kits anyway.

Of course their use is not limited to just camping, every vehicle should have one tucked away somewhere.

Lighters and burners
Safety matches and lighters.

Please note that due to restrictions regarding transporting hazardous materials none of these are shipped with fuel.

Gas lanterns & stoves
A range of gas powered lanterns and stoves.

Sadly, in these times that we live in it is important to have a backup plan in case the power fails. These appliances give you light and heat any time and any place.

Oh, and because they take up such little space they are also ideal for the backpacker.

Walking/hiking
Accessories for the walkers and hikers.

Inverters
Inverters work by taking in battery power and producing normal mains power. In other words they allow you to connect ordinary mains appliances to your car battery. There are a few checks you need to make first though, unfortunately it is not always as easy as that.

How much power does the mains appliance draw? You need to match the power of the appliance to the power of the inverter. Most mains appliances have a sticker on them somewhere giving their power rating, but as a guideline small devices like MP3 players or cellphone chargers are very low; laptops are around 100W but heating devices like kettles or microwaves start at 1000W.

Another technical detail is the run time of the battery, if you are powering a kettle from a normal 12V car battery it will be flat in around 30 - 45 minutes. In these circumstances you need to make sure you are not going to run your car battery so flat you can't start in the morning. You should rather be looking at a deep cycle battery with some means of recharging it. Talk to us, we have a few ideas.

Beat the bugs
Various products that will keep the bugs at bay.

Fortunately the smells that the bugs don't like are quite pleasant to us so we get to kill two mosquitos with one swat. Or something like that.

Secure it
A selection of very innovative products to keep your things secure.

Tent accessories
A collection of items that will make it easier to set your tent up, or to keep it in place.
