CRAFTSMAN Shares Camping Tips to Help Plan for Your Next Adventure

As interest in camping continues to grow in North America, with a 23% increase in camping households over the past decade according to Kampgrounds of America Inc.'s (KOA) 2024 report, CRAFTSMAN® is stepping in to help adventurers gear up for their outdoor excursions.

From seasoned campers to those venturing out for the first time, having the right equipment can make all the difference. Recognizing this need, CRAFTSMAN, a brand under Stanley Black & Decker, is sharing essential tips and product recommendations designed to enhance the camping experience.

To make your outdoor adventure more enjoyable, preparation is key. CRAFTSMAN suggests starting by researching your destination and checking weather forecasts to ensure you pack the necessary essentials. Flashlights, maps, and other provisions can help you navigate and settle into your campsite. For illumination, the V20* Cordless 700-Lumen LED Rechargeable Power Tool Flashlight and the more powerful V20* Cordless 2500-Lumen LED Rechargeable Power Tool Flashlight are ideal choices. These tools offer bright, reliable lighting for safety and convenience, whether you're setting up camp in the evening or navigating through dark trails.

Safety is another crucial aspect of camping that should never be overlooked. CRAFTSMAN emphasizes the importance of having an emergency plan and keeping a well-stocked first-aid kit on hand. Packing the right tools can be invaluable for both setting up camp and handling unexpected situations. The Push and Flip Folding Pocket Knife offers a stainless steel blade for versatile use, while the 28-oz. Dead Blow Hammer makes setting up tents a breeze. To stay connected and keep devices charged, the V20* USB Power Source and V20* Power Inverter provide reliable power options.

Organizing your camping gear can greatly enhance your outdoor experience. By keeping items like toiletries, cooking supplies, and equipment in designated storage, you save time and minimize stress during your trip. CRAFTSMAN's storage solutions, such as the 30, 40, or 50-Gallon Latching Totes and the VERSASTACK™ 30 Gallon Chest, offer durable, portable options to keep your gear protected and accessible. Their customizable, stackable designs are perfect for both camping and home use.

Beyond the basics of safety and organization, CRAFTSMAN also focuses on making the camping experience fun and enjoyable. Essential gear, like the Smokeless Wood Burning Fire Pit, can transform a simple camping trip into a memorable experience. This innovative fire pit design produces more heat with significantly less smoke, allowing campers to gather around a cozy fire without the discomfort of smoke-filled air. For keeping bugs at bay, the V20 Mosquito Repellent creates a 20-foot zone of protection, ensuring a more comfortable outdoor setting.

CRAFTSMAN's wide range of camping tools and equipment is designed to support various needs, whether it's comfort, safety, or convenience. "At CRAFTSMAN, we believe in equipping doers with the tools they need to succeed," said Frank Malzone, CRAFTSMAN outdoor category manager.
