Hibear was born out of travel and adventure, and like all outdoor-lovers, we at Hibear live to explore new places and expect our gear to hold out as long as we do. Turns out, adventure needed a better travel bottle… so we built one. We spent three years designing the All-Day Adventure Flask, ensuring it could do anything and everything we could ever dream of. We affectionately call our AF the Swiss Army Tool of insulated bottles since you can craft everything from coffee to cocktails, yet it's simple enough for your everyday water bottle. It's the last and best bottle you’ll ever need to buy.

With that in mind, we collaborated with HiBear on our giveaway AND on some tips for your next trip. Whether you're a seasoned camper or a first-timer, you'll want to make sure your vacation is as enjoyable and memorable as possible. Planning ahead and taking the right precautions can make your camping or road trip go off without a hitch. From packing essentials to safety measures and entertainment ideas, we've got you covered. So read on to get ready for your outdoor adventure!

Choose Your Destination Wisely

The possibilities are endless, so it's important to choose the right destination for your needs. Consider factors like distance, budget, season, and amenities before deciding on a spot.

• Distance: If you’re planning a road trip, you’ll want to determine how far you’d like to travel. Consider the time and money required for the journey, and if you’re only going for a weekend, make sure you have enough time to explore your chosen destination.
• Budget: Make sure you consider the cost of transportation and accommodation when choosing your destination. Think about whether you’d prefer to stay in a hotel, hostel, campground, or RV park. Research the cost of different options so you can plan accordingly.
• Season: Depending on the time of year, some destinations may be better than others. If you plan to camp in the summer, make sure there is plenty of shade and water sources nearby. In the winter, it's important to check the temperature and weather forecasts to ensure that your trip will be safe and enjoyable.
• Amenities: Depending on where you’re going and what activities you plan to do, consider the amenities available at your destination. Are there public restrooms or showers? Is there a store nearby in case you need supplies? Do they offer any recreational activities or attractions? Knowing these details can help make your trip easier and more enjoyable.

Make a packing list

Before you start packing, be sure to pack your most important accessory of all: a HiBear All Day Adventure Flask. The HiBear All Day Adventure Flask is an incredibly versatile product that can help make your camping or road trip much more enjoyable. It is lightweight and features an ergonomic shape which makes it easy to carry around. The unique vacuum insulation ensures that your drink stays cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours. It also comes with two different lids – one for hot drinks and one for cold. The flask also comes with an integrated carabiner, making it easy to attach to your backpack or other items.

Your packing list should also include all the essentials such as a tent, sleeping bag, camp stove, cooking utensils, flashlights, firewood, and matches. If you plan on taking a hike or going fishing, bring along the appropriate gear such as a fishing rod and tackle box, hiking boots, and a first aid kit. Don't forget any necessary medications and toiletries too.

Make sure to dress appropriately as well. Pack several layers of clothing to prepare for all kinds of weather conditions. Bring a rain jacket and warm hat if it rains, as well as sunglasses, sunscreen, and insect repellent. A good pair of hiking shoes or boots is essential too. Once you’ve made your packing list, double check it before heading out the door.

Don't Forget the Essentials

To ensure that your devices don't run out of battery power during your trip, consider investing in a Bixpy PP-77-AP Power Bank. This versatile Power Bank has everything you need to stay powered up, no matter how remote your destination may be; pair it with one of our solar panels to go off grid and stay charged. The Power Bank is designed for rugged outdoor conditions and can charge up to three different devices simultaneously, including smartphones, tablets, and other USB-chargeable items. Best of all, the Power Bank can hold its charge for up to 6 months, so you can take your kit on extended trips without worrying about running out of juice.

Be Prepared for all Weather Conditions

Check the forecast ahead of time and come prepared with clothing and gear for rain, wind, and hot weather. Make sure to bring a waterproof tent and tarps to set up your camp and keep you dry. If you’re going in the winter, pack winter coats, hats, scarves, and gloves. Even if it doesn’t seem like it will rain, bring along a raincoat in case of sudden showers. It’s also wise to bring a few blankets or sleeping bags in case it gets colder at night than you anticipated. Not only should you check the weather before hitting the water in your favorite Bixpy-powered watercraft, but you should also check the weather for constant updates in case a storm rolls in. With a little preparation and research, you can make sure you’re ready for any type of weather that comes your way on your camping or road trip!

Pack Snacks and Easy-to-Make Meals

The type of snacks you bring will depend on the length and type of your trip. If you are car camping, you can bring more elaborate snack items that require refrigeration such as cheese, yogurt, and cold cuts. If you are going on a longer road trip, you'll want to opt for snacks that don't require refrigeration such as granola bars, nuts, fruit, and energy bars.

For your camping or road trip meals, you should plan for quick and easy-to-make options. Consider foods such as hotdogs, pre-cooked burgers, beans and rice, tacos, and pasta. All of these meals are simple to make with minimal ingredients and preparation. If you're short on time or don't have access to a stove, consider packing a few ready-made meals such as freeze-dried entrees or meal bars. They're lightweight and can be eaten on the go!

Enjoy the Great Outdoors!

No matter where your camping and road trip takes you, make sure to take the HiBear Flask and Bixpy Power Bank with you so that you can enjoy the great outdoors to the fullest. With these two essential items, you can have a stress-free, safe, and fun experience.

The HiBear Flask is made with high-grade stainless steel to keep your drinks cold or hot, while the Bixpy Power Bank allows you to charge your electronic devices. Both are compact, lightweight, and portable, making them perfect for camping and road trips. With them, you can have a super fun trip no matter where you go. Bring these two items with you and you can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities without worrying about running out of power or getting thirsty. Enjoy a picnic, explore nature, or go on a hike — all while staying hydrated and powered up.
