Going camping? Well, don't forget the glow sticks!

By Jim Busby


Glow sticks add the perfect touch to your camping trip. These safe, fun, long-lasting lights are ideal for adding to your camping-accessories kit! Plus they're convenient for late-night bathroom runs.

Okay, you've got your tent, your sleeping bag and all the camping essentials - right down to the marshmallows. Hold on, there. Don't forget to pack the glow sticks. What? Glow sticks? Why? Well, because they're fun and they're practical. That's right: practical. And they're better than flashlights or even lanterns - for a whole bunch of reasons.

They're portable, dependable and long lasting. You don't have to fiddle with knobs or switches to get them to turn on. They come equipped with a handy string attached for easy carrying. Once they're activated, they give off a bright, powerful glow that lasts for hours!

They don't need replacement bulbs or batteries. And you don't need matches or fuel to get them lit. Simply bend the glow stick and shake gently to activate (bending breaks the little glass tube inside and causes a chemical reaction; shaking mixes the two chemicals within the tube).

Glow sticks come in all sorts of colors and sizes. You can get all one color so nobody argues over who's got the prettier color or you can color code each kid so you know at a glance where each of them is. Or you can mix and match.

Glow sticks don't give off heat, so they're safe for even the youngest kids - and, best of all, there's no flame! And that's especially important during dry weather, with concerns over forest fires being so prevalent.

What's more, glow sticks don't give off heat, so they're safe for even your youngest campers. Best of all, there's no flame involved - especially important during forest-fire season, when sticks and leaves on the ground are tinder dry and the slightest spark in this dry summer weather could set them ablaze.

No matter how you choose to use them, glow sticks are safe and versatile. And they add light, color and fun to your camping excursion, beach outing or weekend escape. But be sure you've got plenty of glow sticks - because everybody's going to want one - or two or half a dozen. Yeah, they're that much fun!
