5 Vegan camping products for the family

1. Three Lollies Queasy Pop Kids! ($4 for 7-ct package)  

Whether it’s in the car or on the boat, when your kids start to get motion sickness, hand them a Queasy Pop, the natural drug-free way to ease a queasy tummy.

2. Tender AfterBite (starting at $3.50)

Most bug bites are more annoying than painful, so to keep your family from itching all weekend, turn to the line of AfterBite products for itch relief. Choose from AfterBite The Itch Eraser, AfterBite Kids, AfterBite Outdoor, and AfterBite Extra. These products are made with essential oils, baking soda, and other ingredients that stop itching and reduce swelling.

3. Three Sisters Farms Don’t Bug Me Insect Repellent Spray ($10 for 4-ounce spray)

Formulated with neem oil, cedarwood, pennyroyal, wintergreen, lemongrass, citronella, lavender oils and jojoba oil, this all-natural DEET-free pest repellent will keep those biting and stinging bugs at bay.

4. SolaDyne Mini LED Solar Powered Camping Lantern ($20)

Harness the power of the sun and keep your campsite well-lit when the sun goes down. This solar powered lamp requires no batteries and no fuel. Fully charged, it will stay lit for six hours. It also features a hand crank which will provide one hour of light with just one minute of cranking. Ideal for evening runs to the outhouse or the nearest tree or when you have to find something after dark. At $20 each, you can get one for each member of your family.

5. Coleman 5-Gallon PVC Camp Shower ($11)

If you’re really roughing it and planning a week long stay in the woods, you may want to consider a portable shower (because we all know a few days without a wash can be offensive to everyone within sniffing distance). The Coleman portable shower is designed for multiple showers. Best yet, it uses solar energy to deliver warm showers that your family will actually enjoy.
