Laybys are available, or you can join the Camo Club for free – literally in 20 seconds flat, we tried it! Club membership gets you included in exclusive competitio­ns, member discounts, free warranty on all purchases, specials delivered to your inbox and a guarantee you’ll always pay the lowest price, every day.

Aussie Disposals has been in Dubbo for four years. It’s an Australian family-owned and operated business which started in 1910 as The Pervis Stores, and since 1962 has been known as Aussie Disposals.

The army disposal aspect of the business is now the smallest line, though standard army issue and quality items are available.

These days you’ll find Engel fridges, cast iron cookware and quality tents, chairs, sleepwear and more.

Among many brands, the business sells Hi Country which is designed specifical­ly for Aussie Disposal and the ruggedness of the Australian camping experience.

“Our owners are big guys and they personally test the chairs to ensure they’re sturdy. A weight is punched into the seat 1000 times at testing to ensure fabric and stitching is of the highest quality. We also have the larger sizes,” said Aussie Disposals Dubbo manager Shawn Austin.

Shawn is a seasoned outdoors man and can assist with every need for the rugged adventurer and the outdoor explorer who’s looking for a bit more comfort on their ‘glamping’ trip.

“We’ve got tents now that just pop up – literally in 20 seconds your tent is up and the packing away is just as quick,” said Shawn.

“At the end of the day though, all you really need is a swag and a tarp, but these days we do hear a lot of people say, ‘Well I need a fan, and a light, I need a heater or a gas heaters or things like that, or I need a pillow.’ It’s all good, but it’s kind of the most expensive way of sleeping outside.

“At the end of the day some people like to be comfortabl­e, but camping is also about feeling the ruggedness of nature, feeling the elements and appreciati­ng home when they get back.

“If you’re actually recreating your home when you’re out there, you’re not really feeling nature, but we still sell the luxury and deluxe sort of things. For example, we have inflatable airbeds, from the basic which is just a few inches off the ground, to the deluxe which is like a cloud, it’s so comfortabl­e. If you were laying on rocks and pebbles you wouldn’t notice them at all!” he said.

Whatever your passion, be it hiking, camping, hunting, archery, boating, fourwheel driving... Aussie Disposals will have what you need or help you find it.
