Hiking Sandals

Looking to trek through the great outdoors? Hoping to do so in a cool and comfortable manner, in a pair of footwear that will protect as well as it supports? Then try a brand new pair of hiking sandals, and get ready to get moving!

So, what makes hiking sandals a good option instead of, say, a sturdy pair of hiking boots? Well, some of your adventures might take you to places where the temperature is sure to soar, and boots would make the walk a bit more uncomfortable. You don’t want to overheat when exploring uncharted territory!

But that doesn’t mean hiking sandals are short on the features you need to stay safe when on the trail. Most hiking sandals keep you on the path forward with reinforced rubber fronts that protect your toes, as well as durable traction soles for even more stability.

Other Outdoor Essentials

If your trip into the outdoors includes some time at the campground, you’ll want to start with the basics that will offer shelter and comfort at your home away from home! The easiest and most common way to do this is to pitch a tent.

Having the right tent for your outdoor adventure is essential. You will need to evaluate the weather conditions, season and environment in which you are camping and also the number of adults that the tent can fit comfortably. Some tents also list the square footage so you can determine additional storage space for gear. If you are backpacking, you will want to consider a lightweight tent for easy mobility. Most tents include ground stakes, poles, a canopy and often, a rain fly for assembly.

Another shelter you might consider for your camping trip is a canopy. Canopies help provide weather and sun protection while outdoors. Most often, the height of the canopy can be adjusted, but is typically tall enough for most adults to comfortably stand underneath. Some varieties also feature screens to prevent bugs from entering.

Once you have the right structures for your campsite, you’ll want to move on to checking out the other practical camping gear you’ll use daily. This includes the sleeping bag in which you’ll catch your Zs.

Depending on the climate of your destination, the following factors are important to consider when purchasing a sleeping bag:

• The temperature rating describes the coldest comfortable temperature your sleeping bag can handle. Usually, there is a minimum and a maximum degree for which the sleeping bag is recommended.
• Insulation is measured by the fill weight in ounces. The higher the number, the warmer and more insulated your bag will be.
• The length of the sleeping bag is important for taller individuals. Look for information about the height of a person that will comfortably fit within the sleeping bag.
• The shape of the bag will most often be rectangular or mummy style. Rectangular bags are roomier, but can also add bulk to your travels. Mummy bags are tapered at the feet and often include a hood for more insulation.

If you want to sleep a bit off the ground, there are a couple options to consider. The first is an air mattress. Air mattresses create a comfortable and cushioned sleeping place inside a tent. These are ideal for extended campground stays, but can be bulky to carry and require an air pump for inflation.

With your sleeping situation settled, you’ll want to consider other items you’ll need around camp, for tasks like cooking. Cookware will help make meal prep simple and easy when at the campsite. It is a good idea to bring small or lightweight cookware items to minimize adding bulk to your camping gear. Depending on the meals you want to prepare outdoors, important items to take include a cooking rack or utensils that reach over the campfire, pots and pans, cups, plates, bowls, eating utensils and storage containers with covers.

And now that you’ve cooked a delicious meal, you’re going to want to enjoy it while sitting around the campfire. And the best way to do this is to kick back and relax in brand new camp furniture. Folding chairs, tables and benches provide comfortable seating for eating, socializing and relaxing around the campfire. Look for items that easily compact and are lightweight for convenient traveling.

And don’t forget about other camping essentials like lanterns, coolers, backpacks, and more!

Get all your outdoor must-haves, and prepare to take on new adventures in safety and comfort. With a brand new pair of hiking sandals, along with other outdoor essentials from Kohl’s, you can rest assured that you’re ready to take on the challenges that await!
