Top 5 Battlbox Products to Take On Your Next Camping Trip
Going Camping? Here Are Five Battlbox Items for Your Trip
Whether your style of camping is centered on relaxation, adventure, exploration, or survival, the overall experience will be strongly conditioned by the gear you pack. You want to make your outdoor adventure is unforgettable for the right reasons, so you want to make sure the equipment you take is not only rugged but also efficient.
When you arrive at the campsite to set up, you want to have Battlbox hand-picked outdoor gear in your pack, bike cargo system, or vehicle. Here are five Battlbox products to enhance your camping experience:
Puribag and P&G Water Purification System
Preparing for the worst-case scenario is at the intersection of camping and survival. Of all the outdoor cool gear items you can pack, the Puribag and P&G Purifier combo is one of the coolest because it can keep you cool, hydrated, and alive. Even if your campsite is blessed with abundant water from natural sources, you will still need to treat it and perhaps take it with you; this is when the Puribag system delivers pure survival gear goodness.
The Puribag kit includes a lightweight water container that neatly rolls into a small bundle weighing 6 ounces. When filled, the bag can hold 10 liters of water; it features a clever spout mechanism plus a sturdy handle that allows you to suspend it from branches, lines, or hooks. The Procter & Gamble water filter packets treat the water in just 30 minutes, eliminating bacteria, sediment, humic acid, pesticides, and other waterborne health risks. If you don't use the P&G water filters, they can be safely stored for three years.
Zippo Typhoon Matches
Did you know Zippo makes more than cool vintage lighters for U.S. Navy sailors? This all-American brand knows about the many situations in which reliable flames are needed, which is why the Zippo Typhoon Match Kit is beloved by many outdoor enthusiasts. Each kit comes with a heavy-duty tube that protects 15 matches designed to provide a strong, windproof flame that burns strongly for up to 30 seconds.
You can strike a flame with the 4-inch Typhoon matches even if they have been submerged or exposed to rain; if this happens, you set them to dry as you prepare the fuel and burning materials. The tube and strike pad are waterproof as well.
Hellfire Bushcraft Stainless Steel Grill Set
Once you get a nice fire going with the Zippo Typhoon Match Kit, you can get down to grilling and cooking with the Hellfire Bushcraft grilling kit, one of the most popular pieces of outdoor gear in the Battlbox catalog. This is a campfire-rated set made with sturdy stainless steel that will not weigh you down.
The two 6-inch by 11-inch grates weigh less than a pound; their streamlined form factor makes them easy to store in their water-resistant canvas sleeve, which can slide right into your backpack without taking up too much space. With the Hellfire Bushcraft grates arranged side-by-side, your total grilling surface will handle fish, vegetables, steaks, and campfire cookware.
Southern Survival Waterproof Tarp
Have you seen the Netflix series Southern Survival? The popular reality series features Georgia College graduates dedicated to camping, outdoor exploration, survival, and the Battlbox subscription service they started in 2015. All cast members are from the Peach State and the Carolinas; the filming locations range from the Piedmont pine forests to the sandy flatwood terrain of Panama City Beach in Florida. Fans of the show pay close attention to the outdoor gear, particularly the multi-purpose weatherproof tarp.
Soldiers, hunters, hikers, and camping enthusiasts will tell you that a safe and comfortable experience begins with a weatherproof tarp. In the ecosystems of the Southern Survival series, the cast members preferred packing the 12-ft by 9.5-ft tarp instead of a tent. This decision was based on the versatility of the lightweight tarp, which can be used as a shelter cover, lean-to, rainfly, or ground insulation. The sturdy stitching, reinforced grommets, and tie-down loops of the nylon tarp can withstand rainstorm conditions. This is a popular item in the Southern Survival outdoor gear collection.
Coalatree Adventure Blanket
Coalatree is a brand that many outdoor explorers and survivalists value for its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and rugged quality. One of the most interesting Coalatree products is the Kachula adventure blanket, which can double as a pillow or hooded poncho. This rugged and ultra-durable blanket is made with advanced nylon materials that make it water-resistant and easy to pack.
What makes Coalatree Kachula blankets essential for camping is their breezy form factor; you can fold them and tuck them into a rectangular shape that is about the size of a travel pillow. The lightweight bundle unfolds to reveal a 50-inch by 72-inch blanket that converts into a poncho by snapping the hood into place. When you combine this adventure blanket with the Southern Survival tarp, you get a nice ranger roll that can be as effective as a weatherproof sleeping bag.
