How to Choose a Family-Sized Camping Tent


Camping with the entire family in the great Australian outdoors is a great way to bond, have fun, and enjoy nature. Rain or shine, nothing beats comfortably snuggling with the people you love most. That might be harder to do if your tent is designed to shelter just one person, though. You need something that can fit each member of your family with some more room to spare for in-tent activities. Here are some tips to help you pick the right camping tent when you browse the goods at camping stores in Perth. Roomy Fit The first thing you have to consider when buying a family tent is how much livable space there is. There must be enough room for everyone even if you’re all settling down for the night. Your tent should also have a little standing room for when you and the children want to play around in the tent before bedding down.

Trusted Perth Fishing Shops like Getaway Outdoors Sell Gear Compliant with Local Guidelines


Illegal fishing represents an ever-constant threat to Australian aquatic species. To curb the problem, Fisheries and Marine Officers are always on the lookout for illegal fishing gear and practices along Australia’s coasts, among many other violations. Back in May, a Port Hedland man was caught with an illegal fish trap on the bow of his boat. The offense netted him $500 in fines after a magistrate at Port Hedland Court found him guilty. That’s not all—the perpetrator was also required to pay another $1,100.80 because of previous charges filed against him when he was apprehended last year for not having a current Recreational Fishing and Boat Licence, as well as having three undersized northern mulloway on his boat. According to sources, the man was fully aware that it was illegal to use fish traps yet proceeded to use them anyway despite his knowledge of the potential violation.

Fishing Kayaks Top Safety Tips Smart Offshore Anglers Keep in Mind


Many anglers can’t get enough of kayak fishing, which is a cheap, exciting and healthy sport that lets you set your own pace while you hunt for magnificent fish like mackerel, snapper and tuna. Fishing kayaks are also extremely versatile; how far you can go from the coast of Perth really depends on your set time frame and paddling ability. However, as with all types of water sports, kayak fishing also comes with risk. Here are some safety reminders: Surprises by the weather. Forecasts are not always accurate. Don’t let your guard down even when the water appears placid and the winds calm; something unexpected can happen at any time of day. Always wear a PFD and don’t forget to bring a portable waterproof VHF radio to keep you updated about potential weather disturbances.

Bait and Tackle Tips How to Choose the Best Lures Based on Colour


Many anglers consider artificial baits (lures) more effective than live bait. Lures, after all, create more noise and vibration that attract fish more easily. Their main advantage, though, has to do with colour. Sound and smell alone are not sufficiently enticing; fish need to train their eye on the lure before they strike at it. Picking the best lure colour, in other words, can help you catch more and catch big! The rule of thumb for many anglers is to use bright lures on bright days and dark ones on dark days. However, there are times when dark coloured lures can hook you a large bass in clear water on a bright day. At any rate, here are some tips to guide you the next time you shop for lures at bait and tackle stores like Getaway Outdoors in time for your next fishing escapade.

Avoid Food Spoilage while Camping with the Right Camping Gear purchased at Perth Camping Shops


Looking for ideas on sourcing your own food while out camping? Learn how to prepare campground meals, meant to be enjoyed without any worries of spoilage or being pillaged by nature’s critters big and small. With adequate planning and proper gear from trusted Perth camping shops, you can look forward to a collection of peaceful meals in the wild. Gear up properly – One of the most vital pieces of equipment you should bring is an appropriately sized cooler. If you pack one efficiently and use it correctly, you can keep food spoilage at bay and prevent the risk of poisoning. A cooler is absolutely indispensable since harmful bacteria multiply rapidly when they reach a “danger zone” in terms of temperature between 4 and 60 degrees Celsius (40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit).

Repel Bugs with Precautions and Great Tips


Camping is an exciting endeavour, yet it also requires a wealth of understanding and endurance. For one, you’ll have to deal with bugs, especially mosquitoes that can sense you from 100 feet away and feed on your blood. Fortunately, the right amount of camping savvy and appropriate supplies from a local Perth camping store can help you deal with the bug army waiting for you once you step out into the wilderness. Here are a few tips: Use bug repellent – Bug repellent doesn’t make you “invisible” to bugs; it works in a much different way. Insects are attracted to both visual and olfactory cues, and if you tend to be the one whom bugs prefer, blame it on the amount of ammonia in your perspiration. A typical bug repellent works by confusing insects’ sensory receptors, which they use to detect the right hosts, and thereby distracts them from the ammonia you excrete, ultimately sending them the other way.

Visit a Camping Store in Perth to Get Started on Your Kayaking Journey


Last year, Jason Beachcroft finished his 17-month quest to circumnavigate Australia using only a kayak. Considering that Australia’s coastline is 17,000 kilometres, that’s an impressive achievement. If you feel inspired to follow his footsteps, visiting a Perth camping store like Getaway Outdoors to buy your own kayak is a good first step. With all the different types of kayaks on the market, however, it may be difficult to decide which one to choose for your intended kayak expedition. Here is a basic guide on how to pick the right one. Purpose Your choice of kayak depends on what sort of kayaker you want to be. For example, fishing kayaks in Perth are a familiar sight, with some fishermen taking them out on the coast or nearby rivers. These kayaks, though, are the kind meant to house fishing tackle and the day’s catch, not for white water conditions or for long-term travelling.

Perth Camping Stores like Getaway Outdoors Can Provide You with Fishing Supplies You Need


Fishing is an enjoyable experience, but it can be intimidating for a beginner. Buying bait and tackle for your maiden fishing trip, for example, can be confusing, considering the items you need to buy: a fishing rod, line, hooks, storages boxes, and other things that you may find necessary for your fishing trip. Here are a few tips for buying fishing paraphernalia. Fishing Rod and Reel The fishing rod and reel, which are the most visible part of a fishing tackle, are of course important aspects of the conventional fishing hobby—how else could you catch fish without them? In the past, fishing rods were simple long sticks that held the fishing line and hook. Nowadays, they’ve become sophisticated tools that help you fish better. Reels are a part of the rod as the main means for you to draw your line in once you’ve hooked a fish.
