5 Easy Steps To Take Before Camping

We know the excitement of heading away to a glorious camping spot with your Zempire gear can overpower the mind’s ability to remember things… so we’ve come up with a checklist to help you out! If you’re heading away camping this summer, make sure you follow the below steps at least a week before departing to give you time to make any tweaks to your gear.

You’ll enjoy peace of mind and avoid any niggly surprises that may occur if your gear has been hibernating for the past few months. Remember if you have any questions about using your Zempire gear you can either touch base with our after sales team at [email protected] or our warranty team.

1 – GET YOUR TENT OUT
Roll your tent out and set it up to make sure there has been no damage during storage or any forgotten damage from your last camping trip. Set it up as you would at your campsite and walk around and through it to give it a good looking over. Make sure all your pegs, pumps and any poles are accounted for and put back in the tent bag.

2 - CHECK YOUR RECHARGEABLE & ELECTRICAL ITEMS
Whether you’re camping with or without power, it’s key to check all your rechargeable and electrical items before packing. Check items such as lights (Hangdomes, Lukens, Megadomes etc) and electric pumps are all in good working order and still operate correctly. 

Be sure to charge your rechargeable items before storing and charge every 2 months to ensure they retain their battery memory. Don’t forget to fully charge them before you hit the road too!

3 – TEST/SERVICE COOKING EQUIPMENT
If you’ve got a Zempire stove, then you’ll be cooking with gas so be sure to test and service this equipment before hitting the road. Test and check when your gas bottle was last serviced to ensure it’s in working order, then connect it to your stove and test the burners. You don’t want to go hungry at your campsite!
