Going camping? Got glow sticks? Then you got fun!

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.

Heading to the beach for the weekend with your college buddies? Maybe a weeklong camping trip with the family? Don't forget to pack a stash of glow sticks. They're not just fun - they're a practical, versatile lighting source and they've got a ton of advantages over lanterns and flashlights.

Glow sticks are easy to carry (there's a handy string attached so you can loop them around your wrist); they're dependable and long lasting. There's no knobs to twiddle or switches to struggle with. Just activate them and they're "good to go" (with a bright, powerful glow) for hours! Some of the larger ones last 12 hours or more.

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).

Variety. Variety. Variety. Glow sticks come in a range of sizes and colors. Choose the color that suits your mood, matches your sneakers or goes well with the color of your tent. Use long glow sticks for campsite lighting, to mark pathways or even to decorate your camping environment. Nothing's prettier at night than dozens of colorful glow sticks dangling from low-hanging tree branches, maybe swaying in a slight breeze as you and your pals sit around the campfire.

Another good thing is that they don't emit heat - so they're safe for young kids to use. And, best of all, no flame; that's a big plus, considering the concerns over forest fires in the dry summer weather.

And as if all that weren't enough glow sticks are waterproof! Go ahead, let your klutzy friends drop 'em into the stream on the way to the bathhouse. They still keep glowing. How cool is that? Hey, you can even toss a few glow sticks into the pool for the kiddies to chase after.

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!

However you choose to use them, glow sticks add colorful, safe fun to your beach party, camping trip or weekend escape. Just be sure you stock up before you head out - because glow sticks are so much fun, everybody'll want one or two - or more. Yeah, they really are that much fun!
