With school out and warm weather in, Midland is encouraging you to get outdoors and spend a night under the stars.

To prepare, we've got a list of the top camping essentials you'll need before you head out. 

CLOTHING- KUHL

Even if it's just a casual night of tent camping, or a trek through the woods to reach a primitive camping spot, the right clothing can help keep you protected from the elements. 

KUHL, an outdoors brand has everything from hiking pants, casual shorts, sun protection shirts, wool shirts, rain jackets, flannels, vests, socks, hats, and bags. 

Pack with KUHLand you'll be covered for any destination!

 

TAILGATE TABLE- MOUNTAIN HATCH

Don't let your drinks spill when your tailgate hatch is open, Mountain Hatch has you covered!

A tailgate this solid can be used as a cutting board and even support your tailgate camp stove.

This makes preparing all your meals at the campsite all that easier!

  

KOKOPELLI

If you're planning on camping anywhere near a body of water, be sure to check Kokopelli out.  

This company makes inflatable kayaks and stand up paddle boards for every activity.

Because they're inflatable, they're incredibly easy to travel with and will let you explore the area in new ways!

  

MIDLAND ER40 EMERGENCY CRANK RADIO

This emergency crank radio really does it all.

With NOAA Weather Radio, you'll get the latest, most accurate information straight from the National Weather Service about conditions in your area. Severe weather can sneak up on you and you'll want to be prepared to act if necessary!

The ER40 will keep powered up throughout your trip as it has multiple power sources- lithium rechargeable battery, solar panel, and hand crank. 

Featuring a flashlight with SOS strobe, the ER40 will also help you navigate the campsite when it's dark or seek out help should an emergency arise. 

 

X-TALKER T71VP3 TWO-WAY RADIO

Off-grid? No problem! 

Midland's T71s will keep you connected if you split up to hike, are backing in an RV, or just exploring the campground. 

With seriously impressive battery life, you won't be worried about constantly trying to find a way to charge them. Though, they do come with several charging accessories!

When cell phone service is spotty or non-existant, these walkie talkies will keep you in touch and they're easy to use!
