Crocpad’s Outdoor games articles — water gear that travels, packs down and survives the trip.
You will find what packs small enough to be worth taking, how gear behaves away from power and clean water, setup on uneven ground, and the pack-down habits that decide what still works on the next trip.

About camping, travel and the outdoors
Pack-down is where trips cost you equipment. Rolling something wet and salty or muddy into a bag for the drive home is how a good inflatable becomes a mouldy one, and it is always the end of the trip when nobody wants to deal with it. Shake it out, rinse if you can, dry it before it is stowed for more than a day, and store loosely rather than compressed. Ten minutes at the end of a trip is the difference between gear that lasts years and gear that lasts a season.
Outdoor games: common questions
What water gear is worth taking camping?
Whatever packs small, deploys without mains power and dries fast. Manual-inflate or foam gear and a couple of dry bags beat anything that needs a blower and a power point at a river site.
How do I pack up wet gear on a trip?
Shake it out, rinse off salt, sand or mud if there is water to spare, and roll it loosely rather than compressing it. Dry it properly within a day of getting home, before it goes into long-term storage.
