At what point do you decide that you need a new camping table? Do you wait until your existing table is practically at the point of collapse? This doesn’t really seem like a sensible approach. You certainly don’t want it to collapse while you’re in the middle of eating a hot meal.
Yet it is undoubtedly the case that few of us like spending money needlessly. If we have a perfectly good piece of camping equipment, then we do wonder whether it really does need replacing. The solidity of the table may not be the only factor when you come to consider the timing of buying a replacement.
As with many other pieces of camping kit, there have been some impressive developments in recent years. Manufacturers have been looking at the needs of consumers and trying to meet them. Retailers, on the other hand, have noted the importance of trying to keep prices low. They realise that many of us are looking for a bargain.
