Hand Warmers
Of course, hand warmers are not essential, but they sure are nice when it’s cold out. Sometimes it’s the little things that can make your time outdoors wonderful.
Headlamps
Forget flashlights. Headlamps are essential for camping because they offer hand-free lighting that moves with you. They also come in handy at home.
