5 Wilderness Camping Essentials from Stanley

Heading on a camping trip or wilderness excursion this summer? You’re not alone but you could be the best equipped for the adventure with some of the awesome gear from the guys at Stanley. Outerdoor accessories specialists, Stanley, boast a rich 100+ year history. The brand was born from inventor William Stanley Jr. who forever changed the way hot drinks were consumed, in 1913, when he fused vacuum insulation and the strength of steel in one portable bottle, inventing the all-steel vacuum bottle we know and love today. So, we’ve got a lot to thank them for if you love a hot coffee or cold beer in the great outdoors.
