Camping Gear FAQs
What's the difference between DEET and DEET-free insect repellents?
DEET (diethyltoluamide) is a highly effective chemical repellent that works well against mosquitoes, ticks and sandflies, and is widely recommended for areas with high insect activity. DEET-free options use alternative active ingredients like picaridin and are generally considered gentler, making them a popular choice for children and people with sensitive skin. Both can be effective and the right choice depends on where you're going as well as how long you'll be outdoors.
How do I choose the right camping backpack size?
For a day hike or short outing, a 15–25 litre camping backpack is usually enough to carry water, snacks, a first aid kit and a few layers. If you're heading out for two or more days, you'll want a camping backpack in the 40–65 litre range to fit sleeping gear, clothing and food. Look for padded straps, a hip belt for heavier loads and multiple compartments to keep things accessible, especially on extended trips.
Are LED torches suitable for camping, or should I get a headtorch?
LED torches are great all-rounders for camping as they're bright, energy-efficient and easy to carry. Headtorches also offer the advantage of hands-free use, which is particularly handy for setting up camp, cooking or navigating in the dark. For most camping trips it's worth having both: a torch for general use and a headtorch for tasks where you need both hands free.
