1. You’re a beginner to this stuff so don’t opt for the 8-man canvas mansion with bar and flushing toilet. Keep things small and simple with this tent for two from Karana. B2,100 from Equinox.

2. Don’t forget your Spork. That’s a spoon-cum-fork-cum-knife to you and me, and it comes in several colors (B100 each) or even a glow-in-the-dark option (B450). From Outdoor Unlimited.

3. Need to photograph yourself to prove you’re really out there roughing it alone? Get this kooky mini camera stand from Quirk. B599 from Gadgetrend.

4. You probably don’t know this but it gets light really early in the morning outside. Get your full beauty sleep with these eye shades. B79 each from Zeen Zone.

5. Strap on this khaki backpack for a rugged outdoor look. B1,290 from Muji

6. It can get hot out in the real world, so keep this cute little fan on hand. B150 from Zeen Zone.

7. If you want to make sure you keep hydrated, the filter on the Nano pH Filter water bottle (B2,100) makes tap water drinkable. But if you’re lost in the jungle then opt for this Life Straw (B790), which lets you suck water directly from rivers or ponds with its special filter. Both from Equinox.

8. Keep all your pre-packed sandwiches safe in this small set of lunch boxes (B900/set) in pretty colors, too. All from Pro Cam-Fis.

9. If you can’t do it with your teeth then a bottle opener is always needed. Get this colorful parrot to fit your natural surroundings. B295 from Zeen Zone.

10. Travel a little lighter by portioning your toiletry amenities into these small vials. B135 from Zeen Zone.

11. Power and the sockets needed to charge up all your precious gadgets are at a minimum out here which is where this charger hub from Blue Lounge comes in handy. Small B2,990, large B4,500 from Gadgetrend.

12. Let there be light in the darkness and no batteries required with a mini LED crank torch & lamp by Karana. B399 from Equinox
