From sand invasion to stake placement: your campsite setup questions answered...
In this compilation episode, Ben and Lauren tap back into previous episodes to tackle a collection of listener queries about the practical side of campsite living. Our gear gurus share strategies for DIY windbreaks, reveal their at-home gear maintenance rituals, and decode effective food protection from persistent pests.
The conversation covers surprising gear that proved unexpectedly useful (and even the mistakes that weren't), Ben's definition of "luxury" camping items that earn their weight, and the emergency kit essentials that could save your trip. A practical Q&A session that proves successful camping isn't about having every gadget - it's about knowing which problems to solve and which rituals to respect!
