I was thinking of using shade cloth and star droppers. Thinking star droppers might be on the heavy and awkward to store side of things though, are there aluminium poles that would be suitable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>06:39 \u2013 What do you look for when choosing a campsite and do you have any local faves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10:44 \u2013 I&#8217;m thinking of getting a good head torch but I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s worth spending good dollars on one or just replacing cheap ones as they stuff up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15:02 \u2013 Do you always pack clothing for any possible weather, or do you only ever bring clothing for the expected weather?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>16:28 \u2013 What&#8217;s your favourite recipe for camp stove and for open fires?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19:38 \u2013 Do you consider using a caravan &#8220;camping&#8221;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22:19 \u2013 First aid, what knowledge is essential for campers and what items do you never leave without in your first aid kit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>26:41 \u2013 Unpacking at home rituals and gear checks and maintenance. Wet or windy weather activities!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>30:31 \u2013 Ben you always seem very focused on weight and functionality (rightfully so) but what do you take camping that isn\u2019t necessary or you consider luxury?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>33:19 \u2013 How to keep pesky pests at bay. Wildlife sure are experts at penetrating defences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>36:28 \u2013 Right way to stake tent? Some say 45\u00b0 away from tent, others 45\u00b0 toward tent and some say vertically. Confusion reigns. For me, critical tent remains secure in wind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mentioned in this Episode:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Products:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/camping-tarps\">Tarps<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/tent-accessories#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=&amp;type=70,2117&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">Poles<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/headlamps#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=5&amp;type=&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">Black Diamond<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/headlamps#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=79&amp;type=&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">Petzl<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/headlamps#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=85&amp;type=&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">Silva<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/headlamps#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=80&amp;type=&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">Ledlenser<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/headlamps#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=83&amp;type=&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">Nitecore headlamps<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/tikkina-hybrid-concept-headlamp?c=Blue\">Petzl Tikkina headlamp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/core-usb-rechargeable-battery\">Petzl Core Rechargeable Battery<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/headlamp-200?c=Ocean+Teal\">BioLite Headlamp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/fire-to-fork-adventure-cooking-harry-fisher\">&#8216;Fire to Fork&#8217; by Harry Fisher<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/camp-ovens\">Camp ovens<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/camping-food-storage#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=&amp;type=1925&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">Vacuum sealers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/hiking-outdoor-thermals\">Outdoor thermals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/camping-stoves\">Camp stoves<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/first-aid-kits#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=&amp;type=2090&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">First aid kits<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/portable-coffee-makers\">Coffee makers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/heaters-and-cooling#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=&amp;type=2065&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">12V fans<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/breezeway-12v-fan\">Breezeway 12V fans<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/12v-lighting#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=&amp;type=&amp;colourSize=171&amp;priceRange=\">Hard Korr orange lighting<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/tent-accessories#?pagenumber=1&amp;pageSize=48&amp;orderBy=0&amp;specIds=&amp;brands=&amp;type=52&amp;colourSize=&amp;priceRange=\">Tent pegs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikicamps.com.au\/\">WikiCamps<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stjohn.org.au\/first-aid-training\">St John First Aid Training<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thanks for listening, tune in again for next week\u2019s episode!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for tuning in to this week\u2019s episode of the Snowys Camping Show Podcast.
