Camping Accessory
The invention relates to a camping accessory for maintaining a clean environment and improving hygiene. The camping accessory comprises a package component (100), having a bag component (102) attached thereto in a removable manner, and the camping accessory is capable of being packed by the package component in a folding manner for being carried in a small space.
The invention relates to gear, which the nature rambler, such as a hiker, fisher or hunter, needs to bring along to the nature.
Especially along popular hiking trails there is a pronounced problem in terms of where and how the trekkers dispose of their refuse. For example, corn-postable waste may accumulate in large amounts around a campfire spot, because the campers have not taken the waste along but have left such refuse in the vicinity of the campfire spot, thinking that it will decompose there over time.

This is achieved by a camping accessory for maintaining a clean environment and improving hygiene. The camping accessory comprises a package component, having a bag component attached thereto in a removable manner, and the camping accessory is capable of being packed by the package component in a folding manner for being carried in a small space.
The invention is based on the fact that one or more lightweight camping accessories are capable of being folded for being carried inconspicuously in a small space, and at the moment of use the bag component is removable from the package component for its intended purpose.
A benefit of the invention is that it is easy for a nature trekker to take along and carry in outdoor conditions one or more camping accessories, assisting substantially in maintaining a clean environment and also in improving the nature trekker's hygiene.
