Frequently Asked Questions
Start with what fixes the common problems: spare tent pegs and guy cords for wind, a couple of straps, a light line for wet clothes, a bag for rubbish and a sink or bucket for the dishes. Add a mosquito net or head net for the tropics.
Sea to Summit Ground Control pegs are three-sided, so they grip on every face in soft sand. In hard, stony ground, drive them as far as they go and run the guy line to a lower notch, which keeps the load close to the ground so the peg is less likely to lever out overnight.
No. Gear Aid say the Heroclip holds gear, not people, and has no place in a climbing, rescue or safety system. Use it to hang a pack, a lantern or a water bladder, and only from something solid: it is only as strong as the branch or rail it hangs on.
No. Its black mesh has 500 holes per square inch, which stops mosquitoes, and Sea to Summit say sandflies and midges need a 2000-hole mesh. It hangs from a single point over a bed, cot or mat and comes in single and double sizes.
How to choose camping accessories
• Pegs and guy lines:How to choose camping accessories
• Pegs and guy lines: the Sea to Summit Ground Control Tent Pegs are three-sided 7075-T6 aluminium, 18 cm and 14 g each, with notches so you can tie off low when a peg stops halfway into hard ground. Nemo's Airpin Ultralight and Sweepstake stakes and the Ground Control Light pegs suit lighter set-ups. Add Ground Control Guy Cords and Gear Aid Line Tensioners for a taut pitch.
• Straps and clips: the Gear Aid Heroclip is a clip with a fold-out hook that hangs a pack off a branch, rated from 18 kg (Mini) to 45 kg (Large). It holds gear, not people. Stretch-Loc TPU straps, Gear Aid Holdfast and Utility straps and the XTM Gear Strap lash mats and poles to a pack.
• Camp kitchen and water: the Kitchen Sink comes in 5, 10 and 20 L and stands up on its own once it is four-fifths full. Pair it with the Camp Kitchen Clean-Up Kit or Tool Kit. The Watercell X carries 4 to 20 L and has a shower fitting on the strap.
• Dry and organised: Ultra-Sil and Nylon Pack Covers, Ultra-Sil and Mesh Stuff Sack Sets, TPU Guide phone and map cases, and the Deuter Transport Cover.
• Bugs, fire and cord: the Mosquito Pyramid Net and Head Net, the Gerber Fire Starter, Gear Aid 550 and 325 paracord, and The Clothesline.
Tent and camp add-ons
For Sea to Summit tents, the Telos and Alto Tent Gear Lofts add overhead storage inside the tent. Find the shelters themselves in tents, stoves and pots in cooking, and more from the brands on our Sea to Summit and Gear Aid pages.
Camping accessories for Australian campsites
Beach camps on soft sand and stony ground on the Larapinta both pull pegs loose, and that is where three-sided pegs and a low tie-off earn their place. On the Overland Track everything you carry in comes out, and the 10 L Trash Dry Sack keeps rubbish sealed away from your food and sleeping bag. Carry water away from the creek in the Kitchen Sink so detergent stays out of it. In the tropical north, the Mosquito Pyramid Net hangs from one point over a bed or a cot.
