5 Essentials For Your Outdoor Vacation

September 1, 2021

Going on an outdoorsy vacation requires careful planning and packing. You want to ensure that you have a good time and that you have with you everything you need to stay safe and make the vacation the best it can be. Knowing what to stock up on can be challenging, especially if you’re going somewhere with rough terrain or tricky weather. In these unprecedented times, you want to be as prepared as possible against uncertainty. Well, have no fear, as we provide you with our list of five essentials for the ultimate outdoor vacation. 

  1. Sunscreen and Bug Spray 

Nothing ruins a vacation more than a sunburn and bug bites. Do your best to keep the mosquitoes away with a potent bug repellant spray, and keep your skin protected with a strong sunscreen. You never want to estimate the nature of the elements when you’re on an outdoor vacation. Stay humble, and do not assume that you’ll be fine if you have a run-in with too much sun or too many bugs. Take care of your body to enjoy your vacation to the fullest. 

  1. The Perfect Water Bottle: A Multicolor Bottle

Staying hydrated should be your top priority if you’re going to spend an outdoor vacation in a hot place. Maybe you’ve set your sights on a desert campground or you’re preparing to visit Dubai in the summer. In either case, you want to make sure you quench your thirst to avoid dehydration and heat exhaustion. We recommend going with a multicolor bottle so that you can always spot it, even during those humid days. 

Knife, Pocketknife, Penknife, Blade, Weapon, Sharp, Cut
  1. A Helpful Pocket Knife

Since you plan on spending most of your time outside, keeping a pocket knife is a resourceful way to stay prepared for any added adventure. From removing splinters to making kindling for a fire, pocket knives are essential for survival, safety, and protection. You might even use it to fend off a wild animal. When you’re vacationing outdoors, you never know what you might run into. Along with your compass, keep a pocket knife with you to stay sharp during your adventures. 

  1. A Baseball Cap or General Hat

Your body loses the most heat from your extremities. Keep your head cool by wearing your hat to let the sweat build up as you hike, or to warm up at night when the winds hit. Hats also protect your face from too much sun. We recommend caps that contain cooling fabric so you can stay the most comfortable during a hot day. Choose from many different styles to find the hat that works for you on your trip, travel lovers! 

  1. A Small Backpack 

You will need somewhere to store your belongings while you’re out exploring. From snacks like granola bars and trail mix to that handy dandy pocket knife we mentioned earlier, you’ll want to have a place to keep your belongings safe and easily accessible while you’re on the go. Avoid oversized backpacks so that you don’t feel like you’re carrying something exceptionally heavy all day long. Backpacks lined in foam and canvas work best as they are least likely to rip or tear over time. 

The Bottom Line

Preparing for your outdoor vacation means packing like a pro! Making the most of an outdoor vacation starts with careful planning, smart packing, and thoughtful insight into the amount you plan to carry with you each day of your vacation. Get your ducks in a row, and you will be ready to go for your next outdoor vacation! Follow the suggestions in this article so your essentials are all accounted for.
