Tent for 4 people, ricochet

The tent of the Desert Snow company opened very easily, and within 10 seconds it was already "standing" on its feet.

It has three windows with latches for full sealing and a large entrance opening with two latches for easy opening, and the door fabric is not caught by zippers.

Its downside, depending on preference, is that it doesn't have a door or rear exit.

That is, you can leave and enter only from one side.

Beyond that, although it is designed for four people, who can indeed sleep in it like sardines, it will be perfect for a couple, a maximum of a couple plus a child and equipment.

Beyond that, the tent has two small internal pockets and another huge pocket that is part of the front door, which is great.

The inner color of the fabric - greenish - is also pleasing to the eyes.

Where to get: Ricochet chain (in stores only)

Quick opening tent for 6 people by Maxstock

The consumer giant, which sells more home and craft items or items for birthdays than other Peachbags, entered the field of camping, and come out with a variety of outdoor items.

For example, this tent has a quick opening mechanism and is suitable, according to the company, for six people.

The tent has two entrances with zippers, including an insect net.

Its dimensions are 150x250x220 cm. Upon testing, the tent does open in a matter of seconds, but closing it is a little more problematic, when the windows must be left open to allow the air to escape. In addition, the hole from which the tent is made is thin polyester, which is expected to tear if placed on stones in the field or on a surface which isn't smooth enough. Six people can't fit in this tent, sane and a child at least, no more than that. However, for those who need something for a one-year camping trip or for one event or another and don't want to spend a lot - its price is definitely appropriate for the goods.

Outdoor HIGHLAND camping mattress, ricochet

A self-inflating, shell-shaped mattress that prevents the sleeping bag from slipping off the mattress during the night.

The mattress comes rolled in a shell bag with two thick black rubber bands to maintain a uniform size when rolled, as well as a small kit for repairing holes.

Beyond that, the mattress is long - 1.88, but not wide enough (as with outdoor mattresses) - only 66 cm wide and thick after inflation - 5 cm.

Weight - 1.8 kg. The independent inflation time that begins when you release its valve takes about fifteen minutes, so to start with it and not when opening the tent. We really liked the independent inflation of the mattress, of course, and that is the reason for purchasing it. However, the width is still too narrow For an adult and it is not suitable for putting in a travel bag. Beyond that, a great mattress that will do the job for your night in the field.

Trekking mattress, Decathlon

Decathlon also offers different mattresses for the terrain, one of the best of them is the trekking mattress model trek700 air xl - yellow color. If you are trekking and need a small mattress that turns into a big one - this is the mattress for you.

Its weight is only 600 grams and its volume is 2.4 liters.

Its dimensions: 195x60x5.5 cm in size XL. The inflation is not independent but takes place by blowing with the mouth (6-8 minutes), but it has a double non-return valve for efficient inflation. When you want to let the air out, simply open the valve that lets out air. The mattress does need to be helped to expel the air, but it takes more than a few minutes for it to return to its wrapping. In addition, silicone patches are glued to the mattress to prevent your sleeping bag from slipping. Folding is also quite easy: just fold the mattress in half (lengthwise), then roll it while taking it out The air in each roll up to the size suitable for wrapping

Double sleeping bag, Trek Market

On the aforementioned mattresses, you will certainly spread your sleeping bags. But here is a cool sleeping bag, especially if you are camping as a couple. Nature Hike's sleeping bag (model: SD15M030-J) is a great solution for a couple, or parent and child, who want to sleep together like in a double bed. The sack, which is made of polyester, comes with two pockets located at the top, into which plastic "pillows" that are inflated can be soaked (and they are also provided together with a small pump which is quite unnecessary, because in 3-4 puffs they are easily filled). Each side has an opening zipper , so that you can ventilate the desired side, and you don't have to open the entire hatch.

Temperature range: 5-10 degrees Celsius.

Dimensions: 215X145 cm and weight 2.4 kg.

However, keep in mind that the NIS is not small and is not suitable for carrying in a backpack, but it has stretchable straps that reduce its volume. All in all, a great product for double camping at a pretty affordable price.

Inflatable sofa pouf, Energym

In the indulgence segment, an inflatable sofa pouf comes to the ground or to the sea (because it floats), which is inflated to the sea by raking air.

It is not easy at first to understand how to inflate the pouf: you have to scoop air in a movement that will fill one side of the pouf, then the other side, and squeeze and roll the edges a little until you create pressure and volume that you can lie on.

Here is a video tutorial.

The pouf comes packed in a compact carrying case.

Nice product, but you need to understand the weighting issue.

It's also not expensive, and it's nice to have in the car for camping or the beach.

Coffee chief, Shoresh

The Shork coffee kit includes a cooking pot and a pan with a total volume of 800 ml, a gas grill, a screw connection for a gas tank, three plastic containers for tea, coffee and sugar, 4 double-walled stainless steel cups and a 1 liter liquid container (which does not take up space after you have emptied the water ).

On the face of it, the MPK does not contain overly sophisticated things, but is definitely practical. The advantage of the current MPK Coffee is in its wonderful packaging, which comes in a field khaki color and has several pockets - a side pocket with a zipper and another external pocket that resembles a map pocket, in which you can store Napkins, various papers and other flat items.

In addition, the gas itself is of very high quality and has its own built-in igniter.

In addition, it is stable and any pot or pan can be placed on its wide legs.

The cooking pot is definitely suitable for coffee, but the small pan that comes with the Pekl is quite small for cooking and looks more like a drinking cup or for soup. The cups, which give the feeling of an Arabic Bakraj (not Pinjan) are also nice, but their capacity is very small. All in all, Pekl" l beautifully and compactly packed,

Thermal food container, Zojiroshi

The Japanese thermal utensils brand "The Japanese Elephant" (Zojihiroshi) recently arrived in Israel, and for the winter season it is marketing sets of thermal food containers with a unique insulation patent, which keep foods hot and cold, regardless of the environmental conditions.

If you bring food from home or cook in the field, you can keep them hot or cold when you put the kit in your backpack and go on a trip of several hours.

The insulated containers themselves are made of washable stainless steel, while the plastic bowls can be used in macrogel, if you take food to the office.

All the plastic parts of the system are BPA (Bisphenol A) free and safe to use at any temperature.

Yet,

Keep in mind that the containers are quite small and won't be enough for more than 1-2 people, the price isn't the cheapest either, but it's definitely a quality product, although it seems that in Asia the use of these tools is more accepted than here, but maybe it will penetrate through camping enthusiasts.

Crosser Evo sandals, Root

You said root - you said hiking sandals.

And the latest "exit" of the Israeli sandals company is a brand called Crosser Evo.

These are walking sandals for long or short field trips, with a strong sole and strap tightening mechanism that we know from the well-known Chaco sandals, but here there is one strap that controls the tightening of all three parts of the strap: above the toes, along the ankle and above it.

Behind the heel there is another strap with velcro/velcro (or chamdan in Hebrew) whose grip can be changed.

Shorsh added to the Crosser Evo an antibacterial additive that should prevent the accumulation of bacteria, and in soy there is a middle layer to absorb shocks.

Walking with them is comfortable and the foothold is stable, whether you walked in water or on a rocky path.

The price, however, is not cheap (NIS 399), but for a sandal of this quality, at the level of Chacko and better than the usual root sandals, it is certainly adequate.
