Gear for Your Trips into the Mountains and Parks
From Horsetooth Reservoir to Roosevelt National Forest, we are lucky to have so many great places to go camping that are a short drive from Fort Collins. Once you’ve reserved your favorite spot, you need to think about what you’re going to bring. Ace Hardware of Fort Collins has a wide variety of camping essentials to keep you safe and comfortable while enjoying the beautiful scenery and air of the mountains.
Cooking Fun
One of the most fun aspects of camping is cooking over an open flame! Whether you’re boiling water for coffee, or grilling up brats, this Coleman Propane Stove will help you get it all done. There are two independently adjustable burners with generous cooking surfaces. Burners last up to an hour on high on just one 16.4oz propane cylinder.
Power Lighting
Sunset shouldn’t slow you down when it comes to getting things done while camping. In fact, nights are often the most fun! We have battery-powered lanterns to keep your campsite illuminated, like this Ace LED Camping Lantern. With a built-in hook to hang off a tree, this lantern offers 360 degrees of operating light with a beam distance of 22 feet.
Hydration Station
Staying hydrated is important, especially in Colorado’s dry mountain climate. High-quality coolers, like this Yeti Roadie 32-quart Roller Cooler will keep your drinks cold for hours. It can fit most 2-liter bottles upright and includes a dry goods basket. We also carry Yeti tumblers and ice packs to take with you while hiking.
Fire Starter
There’s nothing better than gathering round a crackling fire after an active day in the mountains. These All-natural StarterStikk Fatwood Firestarters are a quick and convenient way to kindle your wood fire. You don’t need rolled up newspapers, gels or fluids to start a fire. Simply light and watch it burn. Make sure someone brings the s’mores!
First Aid Supplies
It’s just as important to prepare for the accidents as it is to prepare for the fun. This First Aid Only Outdoor First Aid Kit includes over 200 essential supplies and medications to treat minor wounds and injuries. They all fit into one compact and portable fabric pouch for easy carrying.
So, whether you’re planning a quick overnight trip to Poudre Canyon or a week-long stay in Rocky Mountain National Park, Ace Hardware of Fort Collins on Harmony has everything you need to get ready. With expert staff and a wide range of outdoor essentials, make us your first stop to prepare for summer camping adventures.
