Hatchet Outdoor Supply Co. will give you a winter camping prep lesson

bush smarts griddle — You gotta know how to use a griddle if you’re gonna go camping

The temperatures might be dropping, but that doesn’t mean it’s time for you to pack away your camping dreams, far from it. Winter camping means drinking whiskey, it means appreciating that fire even more and it means ~~sleeping bag sex~~ holding on for dear life to the person you’re in the sleeping bag with. Next Thursday you can get a look at some sweet gear that’s good for winter camping, drink free whiskey (an winter camping essential) and possibly even win some free camping gear, courtesy of Bush Smarts and Hatchet Outdoor Supply Co.

Hatchet Outdoor Supply Co. (77 Atlantic Avenue) is a Brooklyn Heights camping supply store, and they’ll be hosting camping gear purveyors Bush Smarts next Thursday, December 5 at 6pm. While you’re there, Bush Smarts will demo some of their gear and cook food for you, that you can eat, and feed you the delusion that you’d be a great outdoorsman. Bushmills will be there too, to help lubricate the food and the delusion.

And in addition to the free food and booze, two $50 gift certificates to Hatchet Outdoor will be raffled off, and if you’re one of the first ten people to buy something, you get a free Bush Smarts hip flask. Next to firewood and a tent, a full flask is the most essential gear you can have while camping, so if you’re thinking of buying something, be quick.
