My best camping accessory was a quick release spreader bar for the awning , I found it at outback adventures at Morayfield for about $18 from memory

did not come with the led strip though just the bar ..it made setting it at right length very very easy

A long handled weed digger.

Modified to lever out tent pegs so I dont have to bend over and hurt my back.

Added a little hook to pick it up as well, but Im currently modifying that to have a magnet.

all for $5.00 at a bunnings sale.

Mine was more expensive than that. But I think I am depreciating faster :)

You might have got her for less than 20 bucks, but it's the ongoing cost that kills you ... ;D

Depending on your choice of campsite annoyance, I find the empties are a good feral deterrent  :cheers:

Not sure if this is our best, but our most recent is a collapsible silicon dish rack for $10. I have no idea what it does but I'm told it's good.

One of these stools. No one else will sit in it. It's always where I left it upon returning to camp, it never wanders off to other camps when in a group, like all of the rest of our gear  >:(

I got one of them from Aldi. Looks a good piece of kit.

I have no idea what it does either. I just put it under the sink, and some days it appears up beside the sink with stuff in it. ???
