When hiking and camping in the wild, it is important to be well prepared to enjoy the adventure. The first thing to do is to free yourself from the comforts of indoor living and prepare your mind to reconnect with nature. It's also a good idea to make a checklist of essential equipment for outdoor activities or survivalism. The most important are: a tent, survival kits, signaling kits and water kits. And since proper nutrition is the secret to continuing the adventure, boxes and storage should not be overlooked.
Storage boxes and tools are not intended to store survival kits such as whistles and glow sticks. They are specifically designed to store water and food for hikers. There are many variations with different sizes and designs. At Hattila, you will find a wide range of collapsible bowls with a capacity of 710 ml; a selection of the best collapsible cups as well as collapsible water cans with a volume ranging from 13 to 19 l.
Usage of storage boxes on a hiking trip
When hiking, storage and boxes are used to store provisions. They are recommended when a survivalist decides to go into the woods for several days. Generally, the storage boxes are both rigid and waterproof in order to be resistant to shocks and falls. In fact, most models are made of aluminum or polypropylene. The polypropylene models are most preferred for their lightness and flavour tainting prevention. As for the capacity, every need will be satisfied given the numerous size options of the boxes that go to 30 ml to 2.5 liters.
In regard to the storage equipment, foldable buckets as well as 19 l foldable water cans are the most popular. They allow to get water when a river or a lake is on the trail.
Different types of meal kits
Apart from the storage boxes, you can equip yourself with a complete meal kit to go on an adventure. The lunch box, for example, is an insulated box that will allow you to keep your meals warm after cooking them on a wood fire. There are also spice boxes, especially dedicated for camping and Buschcraft or hiking. They will allow you to season your culinary preparations so that they taste delicious even when you are far from home. Foldable thermal mugs, on the other hand, will be of great use when you enjoy a good cup of coffee or hot tea in the morning or during your breaks.
Selection criteria of your storage boxes and equipment
Because going on a hike is synonymous with practicality and lightness, you might as well choose equipment that will meet these criteria. In this context, it would be wise to skip the aluminum boxes and opt for foldable models. This way, you can slip them into your bag without them taking up too much space. You should also make sure that they are BPA-free.
