TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Magnetic Camping Hooks for use in the Tent to Hang Lights

Postby Aushiker » Thu 26 Dec, 2024 10:01 pm

I am looking for an option to hang lights/fans in my Zempire Evo TM V2 (car camping) bedrooms, as there are no hanging points. The lights/fans are lightweight and USB-charged.'

Whilst looking around for options, I came across these tent magnets. Has anyone tried these, or do you have other ideas? (My initial thought was a tripod light stand.)

The magnets are a good idea that I think will work. Or mini led rope lights with USB plugs will put out a fair bit of light if you just want a general ambient glow, thread it through internal tent loops etc.

Well, I have ordered three from Aliexpress. I guess I will find out soon enough :). For what they are worth the reviews on Amazon a positive.
