3 Things Your Camping Trip Needs

Picture this. The sun is shining. The temperature is perfect. You’re ready to set up your campsite for a fun weekend off the grid, except, wait. You didn't pack water? 

Fishing, hiking, and camping all rank in the top 5 most popular outdoor activities in the USA, but without proper preparations, you’ll end up wanting to give those activities a zero-star rating. 

Here are 3 Products That Make Camping Way Better 

Flow Control Water Can 

Staying hydrated in hot summer weather is absolutely essential. You should always pack more than you think you’ll drink—you’d be surprised how thirsty you can get after a long day on the trails or out on the water. 

Scepter's 5-gallon water container is the perfect size for keeping at your campsite and using to refill water bottles. The flow control valve makes it easy to adjust how much water dispenses. 

14-Gallon Fuel Caddy 

If you’re taking an ATV, 4-wheeler, UTV, or even a motorcycle with you on your camping trip, you’re going to want to bring along extra fuel. You could try to find space on your trailer for multiple 5 gallon gas cans. Or, you could strap on a large capacity fuel caddy like the Scepter Duramax or Powered Fueling Station. 

With a 14-gallon capacity, Scepter’s wheeled fuel caddies are a convenient, mobile way to refuel outdoor recreation vehicles, boats, and landscaping equipment.  

5 Gallon Military Water Can 

Wait, another water can? Yes, but not for the reasons you might think. Extremely rugged and durable, Scepter's military style water can fits well into most roof racks or mounting systems for off-roading or overlanding. These cans seal well and last for years, even exposed to the elements. 

But that’s not the only use for a military style water can. We’ve seen some great hacks and kits out there for turning your Scepter plastic jerry can into a camping shower or faucet, like this Sandy Cats Trail Wash kit. (Note: Scepter is not affiliated with them in any way, we just think it’s cool to see the different ways people utilize our water cans!) 

Oh, and don’t worry, both the Flow Control Water Can and the Military Water Wan are made from food-grade, BPA-free material.  

If you only have room for one water jug and you’re not sure which to pack, consider these differences:
