Eco-Friendly Camping Companion

Camping trips are all about exploring the great outdoors, but nothing ruins an adventure like gear that sticks, squeaks, or malfunctions. Properly maintaining your camping equipment ensures it stays in top condition for smooth, stress-free use. Gear Hugger Multipurpose Lubricant is the perfect companion for keeping your camping gear functional while respecting the environment.

Why Lubricating Camping Gear is Essential

Outdoor equipment faces constant exposure to dirt, moisture, and fluctuating temperatures. Over time, these elements can cause metal parts to rust, plastic components to stick, and zippers to jam. Regular lubrication:

• Prevents rust and corrosion by creating a protective barrier against moisture.
• Reduces friction to ensure smooth operation of moving parts.
• Extends the lifespan of your gear, saving you money and hassle in the long run.

How to Apply Gear Hugger Multipurpose Lubricant

1. Clean the Surface
   Before applying lubricant, clean off dirt, grime, and moisture to ensure better adherence and performance. We recommend Gear Hugger Heavy Duty Degreaser!
2. Apply Lubricant Lightly
   Shake the can and apply a small amount to the specific area. Use a microfiber cloth to spread it evenly if needed.
3. Test the Movement
   Move the parts back and forth to work the lubricant into the mechanisms.
4. Wipe Away Excess
   Remove any excess lubricant to prevent attracting dirt. Try Gear Hugger Rust Protection for a long-lasting, non-flammable barrier that helps displace moisture to preserve the life of your gear.

Camping Gear That Can Be Lubricated

1. Tent Poles and Hinges
   Apply a light coat of Multipurpose Lubricant to tent pole joints and hinges. This prevents sticking and makes assembly and disassembly quick and effortless.
2. Zippers
   Stuck or rough zippers on tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks are no match for our lubricant. A small application along the zipper teeth ensures smooth sliding without leaving harmful residues.
3. Camping Chairs and Tables
   Lubricate the joints, hinges, and folding mechanisms of your chairs and tables to keep them opening and closing easily.
4. Cooler Hinges and Latches
   Ensure your cooler opens smoothly by applying lubricant to its hinges and latches. It also helps prevent squeaks and rust.
5. Multitools and Knives
   Keep your multitools and folding knives in prime condition by lubricating their hinges and pivot points. This ensures smooth deployment and extends their lifespan.
