Getting the right quality camping equipment is very important if your travelling to countries with extreme temperatures. The kind of brands you should be considering are Aztec, Terra Nova, The North Face, Vango, Vaude, Wild Country and Wynnster. The essential camping equipment needed by every traveller is a tent, sleeping bag, cooking utensils and a rucksack. Of course buying top quality camping equipment isn't exactly cheap. Therefore it may be best to check discount retailers like Argos who sell brands from the lower end of the market if your on a budget.

The amount of camping equipment currently is massive. Some additional items you should consider are camping tents which come with waterproof flysheets, waterproof seams, detachable groundsheets, nylon inners, water resistant finish and hardwearing groundsheets (that come with guylines, pegs and carrybags). For those on a more comfortable camping trip items such as folding chairs and tables, camp beds, camping mats, gas micro stoves, lanterns, camping burners and grills, camping cooksets, flasks and mugs, cool bags, ice blocks, foot pumps, sleeping bags and mummy sleeping bags should be considered.

Terra Nova Laser

I purchased this tent from Terra Nova, because I was informed the Laser model is currently the lightest 2 person two-skin tent currently available. Theminimum weight is only 1.15khg, which will hopefully make travelling easier, for what I plan will be ultra lightweight backpacking.The carbon fibre pegs weigh just 4.5 grammes each as well. I've practised pitching the tent in mt back garden, and it's certainly comfortable as well, with a spacious inner tent and porch. At 230cm in length I can easily fit in with plenty of space, and I feel this will be more than useful for planned camping break in three weeks time.

Camping equipment can be very expensive, so there are different levels of expense, retailers like Argos do supply low cost equipment.
