Whether you go hiking, backpacking or camping, you will need some camping tools.  Listed below is a short list of the main tools you should add to your camping gear. 

Camping Tools you should consider adding to your camping gear

  • Hammer (needed to pound in tent stakes)

    Stansport Deluxe Fiberglass Handle Axe

    Stansport Deluxe Fiberglass Handle Axe

  • Hatchet (needed to chops firewood and cut twigs)
  • Multifunction Knife (needed to cut rope, open bottles and cans etc)
  • Broom and dustpan (needed to sweep floor of tent at set up and tear down)
  • Shovel (needed to dig camp fire pit and clean out wood, ashes and garbage when camping is done)

Don’t forget to bring the above camping tools on your next trip.  I bring al of these every time I go camping, One other thing I do is make sure the axe and knife are sharp because it’s a real bummer trying to cut stuff when these are dull.  I use the grinder in my garage to sharpen both items.  If your camp site already has a fire pit, you may be able to get by without bringing one.
