Gone Fishing: How VELCRO® Can Be Used for Camping Trips

Camping can be a wonderful way to see the world on your holidays from work, so it’s important to truly make the most of it. In this article from MPD Hook & Loop, learn how VELCRO® products help you prepare to battle any little challenges that may come your way while camping.

Modifying Clothing

Before leaving for your camping trip, you might find that your current clothing isn’t providing the support or comfort you need for your stay. Try adding in handy pockets to your existing clothing, to prevent you from needing to purchase entirely new items. Sewable VELCRO® strips can be used to secure pockets together, providing safety for any items you store inside as you adventure outdoors.

Ensuring Easy Entry

If you have a particularly large tent, you might find that you have separate entrances inside. To keep these open and air flowing throughout your tent, you might want to introduce adhesive VELCRO® brand strips. These secure solutions will allow you to create an open space that you can enjoy fully while allowing for privacy at night.

Keeping Tools Safe

Many people go camping for different reasons, from bird-watching to canoeing. Whatever activity you choose, it’s quite likely that you will need to take tools and equipment with you. Small tools can get quickly lost in large backpacks, so keeping them securely in place is key. This can be easily done with VELCRO® products, with cable ties tying the tools together with ease.

Fitting Insect Netting

Bites from bugs and insects can lead to discomfort, often ruining your enjoyment of your camping trip. To prevent these pests from entering your tent as you sleep, it’s worth fitting insect netting. Try securing these in place with VELCRO® cable ties or sewable VELCRO®, providing either temporary or permanent protection as you need it.

Securing Camping Gear

Depending on the time of year you decide to take your camping trip, you may find that the sun sets quickly, leaving you in the dark. One way to brighten things up is to implement camping lanterns, which can be tied out of the way to make the most of your space. As these can be knocked easily as you move inside your tent, try securing any lights with VELCRO® cable ties, which can be easily removed when needed.

Fed up with wrestling your inflatable bed or tent back into place, only for it to become unsecured again as you pack up? Thankfully, VELCRO® brand straps are designed to help secure items, making your packing process simple. Make the end of your trip simple with VELCRO® products.
