Two camping items you never leave without?

HiluxJunkie · Post by **HiluxJunkie** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 3:18 pm

What two items do you never leave at home when you go camping. Even if it has to be carried on your wifes lap if there is no more packing space

Mine would be my Waceo fridge and my Leatherman.

Lets al pitch in name two items just for the fun of it !

Quick drying towels

Scotty, do they actually work? I have seen them at the camping shops and wondered if theyactually work....?

DOELLOOS · Post by **DOELLOOS** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 10:44 am

Of course they work, the instructions says to put in tumble dryer for 30 min, and presto, they are dry...

I can't read anyway Ewald, but thanks

Couldn't quite understand that a towel the seize of a facecloth could dry my entire body. Must be cybre material or something

Daai goed werk... want teen die tyd wat jy jou gesig klaar af gedroog het met daai klein lappie het die res van jou lyf klaar ge-airdry

Scotty · Post by **Scotty** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 11:44 am

Scotty, do they actually work? I have seen them at the camping shops and wondered if theyactually work....?

OOOMS! Yes they really work...

My wife and I used them every day for 8 months in 2008.

We started out from Cape Town and by the time we reached humid Durbs 3 weeks later our normal beach towels stank!

The humid air meant they never dried properly, especially if you tried to wash them to get the stench out.

So we bought two quick-dry towels at Sportmans Warehouse in Westville. One of the best things we ever did. (NB - we bought full size ones, NOT facecloth size). They fold up no bigger than an orange, and seriously dry out in minutes. They come with a loop attached and we just hung them up on our awning or RTT and they were crispy dry in no time.

When we go away for weekends now, we still take them with. :D

When the full size towels are unfolded, what size are they ? Same size as a regular bath towel ?

Yes, when unfolded they are 'normal' size, but not the biggest of towels. (I'll check the dimensions tonight.)

I'm 100kgs and I could just wrap it around my waist.

I am in agreement with the Immodiums... I also take Valoids..

I have had the same experience where a camp trip involved me and the ablution blocks the whole weekend... not lekker..

The other important thing I always take with is the Wind Boma... wind can really spoil an otherwise very pleasurable trip...
