Frequently Asked Questions

What Hiking Gear Is Needed For Dogs In Australia?

Hiking or walking with your dog in Australia requires reliable, durable pet accessories to keep them safe and comfortable. For hiking with dogs in Australia, the basic essentials include:

• A sturdy, padded harness for control and comfort
• A secure and adjustable dog lead, with hands-free dog leads providing additional convenience
• Collapsible water and food bowls
• Waste bags 
• A towel for muddy paws

The trail offers unique challenges compared to walking your dog in urban or city environments. Pack these safety essentials to give you peace of mind when it comes to your fur pal: 

• Coglan’s tick remover or an equivalent product for Australian bush trails
• A trail dog first aid kit from Adventure Medical Kits
• Dog booties to protect paws from sharp rocks or hot surfaces
• Hi-vis dog jacket to keep your dog safe and seen in low-light conditions 
• Dog rain jacket for inclement weather
• Dog life jacket for water activities 

Please Note: Before heading out on a trail, be sure to check whether dogs are allowed in the area. Many hiking locations across Australia, including most national parks, do not permit dogs - even on lead - due to conservation regulations to protect native wildlife and the environment. Always confirm with local park authorities or official websites to ensure your chosen trail or beach is dog-friendly. 

What Type Of Water Bottle Is Best For Hiking & Camping?

The best water bottle for hiking and camping depends on your particular activity and your personal preference. Below, we cover the benefits of specific types of hydration solutions to help make choosing a water bottle for your next adventure easier. 

Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottles

Insulated water bottles keep cold water cold (usually for 12 hours or more) and hot water hot (usually for 24 hours or more) - making them an adaptable camping staple. Whether you need a refreshing drink to hydrate while trekking over rugged terrain, or a comforting hot tea or coffee when huddled at your campsite on a chilly night, they’re a versatile choice for your adventures.  

Discover durable stainless steel bottles from Hydro Flask, Cheeki, CamelBak and Fridgy with double-wall vacuum insulation. With 1L insulated bottles helping keep you hydrated for the long haul, and smaller sizes like 500ml, 600ml and 700ml insulated bottles offering practicality for shorter treks, our water bottle collection has you covered. 

Our stainless steel water bottle range often features handles for grab-and-go convenience, with select designs also offering straws for easy sipping on your hikes, walks or commutes. Lightweight designs with leak-proof seals make them a worry-free option to throw into your hiking pack.

Collapsible Water Bottles 

Collapsible water bottles from top brands like Cnoc or Crumple offer a practical and space-saving solution for camping and hiking enthusiasts. Unlike traditional rigid bottles, collapsible drink bottles can be compressed down to a fraction of their full size when empty, freeing up valuable pack space. This is particularly beneficial for long treks where efficient packing is essential and every inch of space counts. Their lightweight design also contributes to reducing overall pack weight, which is a key consideration for both casual hikers and serious backpackers aiming for agility and endurance on the trail.

In addition to their space efficiency, collapsible bottles are often made of flexible, durable silicone and BPA-free materials that can withstand rough outdoor conditions. Many collapsible bottles feature leak-proof caps and easy-to-clean surfaces, making them hygienic and reliable for repeated use. This adaptability means you can carry more water when you need it and minimise bulk when you don’t. Paired with their reusability, collapsible bottles are a versatile and eco-conscious hydration choice for outdoor adventures.

Soft Flasks 

Soft flasks offer similar space-saving benefits to collapsible water bottles, however they are strategically designed for bounce-free storage during trail running and trekking. Salomon soft flasks shrink as you drink, moulding to your pocket to minimise bulk. This makes them ideal for minimalist hikers or those trekking long distances where every gram counts. Their flexible nature also allows them to fit snugly in backpack pockets or running vests, reducing the likelihood of awkward sloshing during movement.

In addition to their lightweight and compact qualities, soft flasks are incredibly versatile and user-friendly. Many models come with high-flow bite valves, allowing for fast hydration - an essential feature on demanding trails or while navigating rough terrain. Their soft exterior is less likely to cause discomfort if pressed against the body when stored in a pocket compared to rigid bottles, and they are generally made from durable, BPA-free materials that withstand repeated use.

How Many Lumens Do I Need For A Camping Headlamp?

Lumens (lm) are a unit of measurement which quantifies the amount of visible light emitted by a light source, like headlamps and torches. The higher the lumen rating, the brighter the light.

When choosing a headlamp for camping, lumens give you a baseline idea of how much light the headlamp will cast. The right choice of headlamp depends on your intended use. Check out our breakdown below of what different lumen levels of headlamps generally mean for campers. Be aware that this is a guide only, and the specific features of your headlamp (e.g. beam distance and type) may influence its effectiveness for different activities. 

<100 Lumens

• Best For: Tent use, reading, checking gear and close-up tasks.
• Benefits: Offers a soft, gentle light that won’t disturb others in your tent.
• Example: 30-lumen headlamp for late-night journal writing or finding your trail socks in the tent.

100 - 249 Lumens

• Best For: General campsite activities like cooking, walking around camp or setting up gear.
• Benefits: Provides a good balance between brightness and battery life for night tasks without being overkill.
• Example: 150-lumen headlamp for organising food at dusk or lighting up the picnic table.

250 - 399 Lumens

• Best For: Night hiking.
• Benefits: Bright enough for uneven terrain or trails, but still relatively lightweight and power-efficient.
• Example: 300-lumen headlamp for short-distance hiking after dark.

400+ Lumens

• Best For: Technical night hiking and trail running.
• Benefits: Delivers a powerful light to illuminate rugged and technical terrain. 400+ lumen headlamps often come with multiple beam settings and modes for versatility.
• Example: 500+ lumen headlamp for fast-paced hikes or running on trails at night.

While higher lumens mean more brightness, they also drain the battery faster. Many headlamps come with adjustable brightness settings so you can conserve power when high output isn't needed. When choosing a headlamp, also consider beam distance, battery life, red-light mode (for night vision) and whether you'd prefer a rechargeable headlamp or headlamps with a replaceable battery. Water resistant headlamps and waterproof headlamps provide extra peace of mind in wet weather. 

Happy camping, hiking and adventure seeking!
