From Food Poisoning to Fires, Be Cautious of Camping Safety Accidents
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] The peak camping season has begun. According to Statistics Korea, the domestic camping population was estimated at 6 million in 2019, and it has recently surged further due to the prolonged social distancing measures. Along with the rising popularity of camping, safety accidents are also increasing. With the hotter weather, the risk of food poisoning is rising, and fire accidents caused by heating appliances are frequently occurring.
For a safe and enjoyable camping experience, it is essential to thoroughly understand safety rules above all else. Here, we introduce camping safety rules for campers and safety camping items that help prevent accidents.
Safe Food Storage for Hot Summer Camping: Comex's 'Macaron Ice Box'
When camping in summer, food storage must utilize ice boxes and ice packs, and fruits and vegetables should be separately packaged and stored to prevent contact with meat or fish juices. Comex Industrial Co., Ltd. (Comex), a kitchenware company with 50 years of tradition, offers the 'Macaron Ice Box,' a domestically produced product completed with Comex's excellent technology, featuring emotional pastel-tone colors such as Strawberry Pink, Oatmeal Beige, and Mint Blue.
With excellent heat retention and cooling performance, it can safely store food and beverages not only during camping but throughout all four seasons. Its compact size, lightweight, and foldable handle make it convenient to carry and transport, perfect for car camping or outings. With an 8.5L capacity, it can hold four 500ml water bottles or seven 200ml cans, and it is also suitable for everyday use such as storing baby bottles or baby food to maintain freshness.
It also comes with cute DIY stickers that can be attached as desired, offering additional fun by decorating the ice box to reflect your personal taste. The Comex Macaron Ice Box is available for purchase at Emart stores nationwide, both online and offline.
The Romance of Camping: Paseco Camping Stove 'Camp-10 Sunset' with Automatic Tip-Over Extinguishing Function
One of the most dangerous safety accidents at campsites is fire caused by heating appliances. Attach reflective bands near heating devices to make them visible at night, and always check the location of fire extinguishers in case of emergencies.
It is advisable to choose products equipped with safety features whenever possible. Paseco's 'Camp-10 Sunset' includes an automatic tip-over extinguishing function that automatically puts out the fire if the stove tips over during use, reducing the risk of fire during camping. Additionally, it features a simple manual ignition method and a rotary wick adjustment lever, allowing even camping beginners to easily maintain the appropriate temperature.
The glass viewing window is treated with titanium ion special coating technology to create a charming natural evening glow. It also comes with a luxurious cylindrical dedicated pouch for easy storage.
Safe and Warm Camping with Sixfold Safety Devices: Gluvain 'Washable Electric Blanket'
When using an electric blanket inside a tent, it is essential to check the wear of the heating wire in advance. The electric reel cord connecting the blanket should be kept dry from rain and used fully extended for safety.
Gluvain's 'Washable Electric Blanket' applies the safety systems 'GSS' and 'Sixfold Safety Devices' to prevent overvoltage and automatically cut off power after 15 hours of operation or in case of overheating. When storing, the product can be rolled up without folding, preventing the heating wire from bending and allowing safe storage.
Induction Cooking at Campsites: Samsung Electronics Portable Induction 'The Plate'
While gas burners are commonly used for cooking at campsites, careless use can lead to serious accidents such as carbon monoxide poisoning or butane canister explosions. When using portable gas stoves, do not use pans or cookware larger than the stand, and always ensure proper ventilation.
Using a portable induction cooker instead of a gas stove is another option. Samsung Electronics' portable induction 'The Plate' single burner model has a compact size of 310mm width and 320mm length, making it ideal for camping or outings.
The heat power can be finely adjusted from levels 1 to 10, and a timer can be set, allowing for various cooking styles. It includes many useful safety features such as residual heat warning, overheating prevention, child safety lock, and automatic fan detection. The Samsung The Plate single burner model is available in two colors, black and white, allowing you to choose according to your preference.
Cleaning for Car Camping: Shinil Electronics 'Ssakssul-i Mini Cordless Vacuum Cleaner'
Car camping, which can be enjoyed conveniently and with charm, is also popular. Since car camping requires eating and sleeping inside a confined vehicle space, special attention must be paid to hygiene inside the vehicle. Shinil Electronics recently released the 'Ssakssul-i Mini Cordless Vacuum Cleaner,' a mini size that fits into a car cup holder, making it perfect for cleaning small living spaces as well as vehicles, ideal for car camping.
It features a two-in-one structure combining stick and handheld vacuum cleaners, and comes with three types of nozzles: extension, brush, and crevice, allowing thorough cleaning of narrow corners inside the vehicle.
With a USB-C port for battery charging, it is convenient to carry and use during outdoor activities such as car camping. The handheld unit weighs only 750g and contains a high-capacity 2000mAh battery, allowing up to 15 minutes of use on a single charge.
