\u2018What are your favourite items of camping equipment?\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ben\u2019s favourite is his Aeropress coffee maker<\/a> and X-Pot kettle<\/a> from Sea to Summit, plus his solar panels so he can travel further off the grid. Lauren is very fond of her Cecil & Co Campfire Water Boiler which she uses with her 12V shower<\/a> for steaming hot bush showers, her trusty Scrubba wash bag<\/a> for cleaning clothes, and her Hillbilly cookstand for campfire cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018What do you look for when choosing a campsite? Do you have any local favs?\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lauren admits that she doesn\u2019t like to share her favourite spots, as there have been some great campsites in the past that have become trashed after gaining popularity. In terms of finding a good spot<\/a>, she says WikiCamps has been helpful as you can filter both your region and requirements. Lauren now looks for bush camps \/ campsites with minimal amenities, are nearby a water source, offer space for kids to roam, and allow both dogs and campfires (within fire season). Ben largely feels the same, as he prefers more remote camping where there is plenty of space and solitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018It would be cool to see your setups – Ben\u2019s sounds quite interesting.\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
