How to Keep Your Camping Gear in Top Condition Year-Round

Introduction

Good gear lasts when you look after it. Camping equipment takes a beating from dust, heat, and moisture, so a few minutes of care after each trip pays off in the long run.

Clean Before Storing

Brush dirt off ropes and tools. Rinse jerry cans with clean water and leave them open to dry. Wash wool blankets with gentle detergent and store them once completely dry.

Check for Damage

Inspect tie downs, guy ropes, and tarp clips for fraying or wear. Replace anything that looks weak before your next trip. Bush Tracks gear is built tough, but regular checks keep it reliable for years.

Store in a Dry, Cool Place

Avoid damp sheds or direct sunlight. Use plastic tubs for smaller items and hang tools like shovels and saws on a rack.

Maintain Metal Parts

Lightly oil folding saw blades and axes to prevent rust. Keep your shovel hinges moving smoothly with a quick spray of lubricant.

Conclusion

A few simple habits protect your investment. With solid products from Bush Tracks and proper upkeep, your gear will be ready for adventure any time of year.
