Our carefully curated selection of outdoor gear is designed for adventurers of all levels, from weekend explorers to seasoned outdoor enthusiasts. No matter your destination, we’ve got the essential gear to help you make the most of every journey.

Camping

Camping is all about immersing yourself in nature and the right gear ensures comfort, safety and enjoyment. Whether you're heading out for a weekend in the wilderness or an extended backcountry adventure, having reliable camping equipment makes all the difference. Your camping tent is your home away from home, providing shelter from the elements. Wildfire Sports & Trek offers lightweight backpacking tents, spacious 2 and 3-person tents, three-season tents and four-season tents designed to withstand extreme conditions.

After choosing your tent, the next key consideration is your sleeping mat and sleeping bag. Our range is designed to provide insulation and comfort on rugged terrain, with self-inflating sleeping mats providing additional convenience. To make your campsite feel more cosy, consider camp furniture like folding chairs, tables and hammocks for outdoor comfort. Whether you need a lightweight stool for minimalist trekking or a reclining camp chair for ultimate relaxation, we’ve got you covered.

Craving coffee? Our camp-ready, portable coffee makers from renowned brands like AeroPress ensure you start the day right with a fresh cup of your favourite brew. Cooking in the wild can be challenging without the right equipment. With our selection of camp stoves, cooking systems, convenient camp food and drinkwear, it’s easy to enjoy a hot meal and stay hydrated in nature.

Hiking

Hiking allows you to explore trails, mountains and remote landscapes. The right gear helps you stay safe, navigate effectively and enjoy your journey, whether it’s a short day hike or a multi-day trek.

The equipment you stash in your hiking pack is essential to your safety. A well-equipped first aid kit is a must-have. Our kits include essential medical supplies for treating cuts, blisters, insect bites and other minor injuries.To ensure you have access to clean drinking water wherever you go, water treatment tools like water purification tablets and filters ensure you stay hydrated safely.

When it comes to navigation, a reliable compass or map is your critical hiking companion, ensuring you stay on track. For arduous hikes, adjustable trekking poles help you reach your destination without injury, reducing strain on your joints and improving stability on challenging terrain. Trekking poles are available in durable aluminium and lightweight carbon constructions, helping enhance balance and endurance.

To truly embrace your surroundings, binoculars can transform your hiking experience. Spot distant wildlife, scenic vistas and trail markers with ease with Nocs binoculars. Compact, waterproof binoculars are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts looking to enhance their adventure.

Climbing

For passionate climbers, whether it's indoor walls, bouldering or scaling rugged cliffs, quality gear is essential for performance. A well-fitted harness and climbing carabiners from trusted brands like Black Diamond are crucial for climbing safety. Our range includes harnesses for men and women, whether you’re a beginner climber or professional, offering comfort and security at every level of experience. For a secure grip and to reduce sweat, chalk and chalk bags are another climbing necessity. Available in various sizes and styles, they help climbers maintain friction and control during ascents.

Swimming

Whether you're training in the pool, competing in open water, or simply enjoying a swim, the right gear enhances your experience and performance. Clear vision is key for swimming, and our swimming goggles from top brands like Aqua Sphere and Orca offer anti-fog lenses, UV protection and comfortable, leak-proof designs for all swimming conditions. Swimming accessories like swim caps reduce drag and protect your hair, with thermal swim caps helping you endure in colder temperatures. Swim training aids like swim boards help you refine your technique without distractions, helping you prepare for competition. 

Outdoor Essentials

Some gear is essential for any outdoor activity, providing convenience, safety and reliability no matter where your adventures take you. Staying hydrated is crucial, and our range of water bottles includes insulated stainless steel and collapsible bottles, keeping your liquids at optimal temperature or providing space-saving convenience. When you need to dry off, lightweight travel towels absorb moisture efficiently and pack down small for easy transport, making them ideal for hiking, camping and swimming.

When your hiking or camping trip transitions into the night, a reliable headlamp ensures visibility in low-light conditions. Whether you need a powerful beam for night treks or a lightweight option for casual use, we offer a variety of rechargeable and battery-operated models including Petzl headlamps and BioLite headlamps.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What Gear Do I Need For My First Camping Trip? 

For an overnight camping trip, you’ll need to bring the right gear to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Start with shelter and sleeping essentials, like a tent that’s appropriate for the weather, a sleeping bag suited to the expected temperatures, and a sleeping mat, sleeping pad or air mattress for insulation and comfort. A small pillow can also help you sleep better, providing comfort and support. Camping and hiking gear brands like Sea To Summit, Nemo and Klymit have your sleeping essentials covered in outdoor environments. 

A lightweight camping stove with enough fuel will let you prepare meals easily, and a pot or pan, utensils, multi-purpose spork and other cookware and tableware essentials will come in handy. Bring simple, high-energy camp food like dehydrated meals, instant oatmeal and energy bars and snacks. Carry at least two to three litres of water per person for drinking, and a water treatment filtration system or purification tablets in case you need to refill from a natural source. Be aware that this doesn’t include the additional water required for cooking, cleaning or washing. 

Don’t forget essentials like a first aid kit, compass, toiletries, multi-tools or knives, insect repellent, a headlamp for visibility at night and water bottles to stay hydrated on the go.

How Do I Choose A Camping Tent?

Choosing a camping tent depends on size, weight and weather conditions. First, consider how many people will be using the tent and whether you need extra space for gear. A two-person tent is usually snug, so sizing up can add comfort. For backpacking, a lightweight tent is best, while car camping allows for a larger, heavier option.

Next, look at the tent’s weather resistance and durability. A three-season tent is ideal for most conditions, offering ventilation and rain protection, while a four-season tent is built for extreme cold and heavy snow. Check the tent’s waterproof rating, seam sealing, and ventilation to ensure it can handle rain and prevent condensation buildup.

Setup and convenience also matter when choosing a tent. Freestanding tents with simple pole systems are easier to pitch, while non-freestanding tents save weight but require staking. Features like multiple doors, vestibules for gear storage and mesh panels for airflow can improve comfort. The best tent for you depends on your camping style, expected weather and how much weight you’re willing to carry.

How Do I Choose The Right Trekking Poles?

Choosing the right trekking poles depends on adjustability, material and comfort, with Leki and Komperdell trekking poles among the top options at Wildfire Sports & Trek. Adjustable poles are ideal for varying terrain, allowing you to shorten them for uphill climbs and lengthen them for descents. Fixed-length poles are lighter but less versatile. Look for a reliable locking mechanism and comfortable grips. Cork grips mould to your hands and reduce sweat, foam absorbs moisture well and rubber provides insulation for cold-weather hiking. The shaft material also matters; aluminium poles are durable and can withstand rough handling, while carbon fibre poles are lighter and absorb shock but are more prone to snapping under stress.

Consider whether you need shock absorption, which helps reduce strain on your joints, or a standard rigid pole for better control. The tip type also plays a role - carbide tips offer strong traction on rough terrain, while rubber tip protectors are ideal for paved or delicate surfaces. Folding poles are compact for easy storage while telescoping poles offer better adjustability. 

What’s The Best Way To Purify Water While Hiking?

The best way to purify water while hiking depends on the source and your needs. A water filter is a great choice because it removes bacteria, protozoa and debris, making it ideal for streams and lakes. However, if viruses are a concern, purification tablets like chlorine tablets are lightweight and effective, though they take time to work and may leave a slight taste.

Boiling water for at least one minute is a reliable method, with higher altitudes requiring more boiling time to ensure the safety of the water. However, it requires carrying a camping stove and fuel, which can add weight. For the safest approach to water treatment, it’s best to carry a combination of methods. A water filter works well for most sources (but won’t remove viruses), while water purification tablets provide a backup in case of equipment failure. Consider the water quality in the area, trip length and the space available when choosing your water purification method. 

How To Choose The Perfect Water Bottle For Hiking And Camping?

When selecting the best water bottle for hiking and camping, durability is crucial. Look for drink bottles made from strong materials like stainless steel bottles from Hydro Flask or Cheeki which can withstand rough conditions and accidental drops. Insulated stainless steel bottles are also ideal for keeping fluids cold or hot for extended periods, making them adaptable for both summer and winter hikes. Ensure the drink bottle has a robust, leak-proof cap to prevent spills when it's packed in your trekking pack.

Capacity and weight are key factors as well. For longer hikes or camping trips, a larger capacity (1L or more) ensures you stay hydrated without frequent refills. However, consider the weight of the bottle when fully filled—too heavy of a load can tire you out quickly. You may also want to choose a bottle with a narrow mouth for easier drinking on the go or a wide mouth for easier filling and cleaning.

In addition to durability and capacity, look for features like an easy-to-carry handle or clip-on option, which makes it convenient to attach to your trekking pack. Some bottles like Katadyn water bottles come with built-in filtration systems, perfect for outdoor adventures where clean water sources may not be readily available.
