Accessories to make others jealous.

Postby JSS on Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:59 am

Hi

I am new to the forum and fairly new to camping. My husband and I went last year with borrowed stuff from everyone enjoyed it so much we spent the last year building up our collection.

We have been camping a few times this year already, however in a couple of months we are going with a load of friends. There is a bit of healthy competition on who will have the best tent and more importantly accessories. Honestly this is a bit of a tongue in cheek thing, but I was wondering if anyone could give me hints and tips on what accessories I could take which are a bit different which will make my friends slightly jealous.

Thanks

I saw string of fairy lights last site we stayed at, very pretty.

Bunting would be good too.

Thank you both. I will definitely get them. Where do you think is the best place to get them? Any other suggestions?

I don't have time for fairy lights, bunting, etc. Not my style. But if you were to get a Cobb and cook them a roast chicken or joint of lamb or pork that would REALLY blow their mnds!!

Wilkinsons do a brilliant fold flat colander which is great for camping (we've got a pink one) :-)

Sorry not really a jealousy inducing accessory :-)

I would say, one way to have the edge is to be the warmest and most comfiest in the evening when sat in a group socializing.

So I would recommend a couple of good quality comfy reclining chairs, also for the colder half (The female half then :tune: ) a nice warm fleece blanket to wrap round yourself, you can get them blankets with arm holes, my OH has one.

Then finally, the stick table



You carry it under your arm, unclip the metal pole and stick it in the ground and then push the table top on to the stick, its just right for his and hers drinks :D




Nope, never took it out of the box. But, the salesperson said this tent was super easy to set up; even in windy conditions...
