Small bits of camp gear have a knack for ending up on the ground, under a chair or somewhere you definitely didn’t put them. A Rad Mag gives them a handy home, so your essentials stay easy to spot and off the dirt.
It’s not a traditional spring clip. Rad Mag is a magnetic utility strap: wrap it around a suitable pole or handle, let the embedded magnets connect, then use the loop as a simple hanging point. Here are 10 useful ways to work it into your campsite setup.
First, how does Rad Mag work?
Rad Mag has durable webbing and embedded magnets that connect the strap around a handle, pole or rail. It’s designed for lightweight gear such as hats, towels, cords and accessories. The strap measures 24.5 cm in total and is designed to wrap around objects up to 3.5 cm in diameter.
That makes it a useful little organiser for camping, caravan trips and 4WD touring. Check the size of your pole or handle before you set it up, and test it with the item you plan to hang.
1. Keep the tea towel off the ground
A tea towel is essential camp-kitchen gear. Right up until it lands in the dust. Loop a Rad Mag around a suitable awning bar or camp-kitchen pole and hang the towel within easy reach of the bench.
It’s a simple way to give your towel a regular spot, instead of leaving it to roam around camp.
2. Give your hat a proper home
Hats are easy to misplace and not always keen on being squashed into a crowded tub. Use Rad Mag to hang a cap or lightweight hat from a suitable rail or handle while you’re parked at camp.
It keeps your shade within reach and helps protect the brim from being flattened by the rest of your camping gear.
3. Air out swimmers and rashies
After a swim, hang a lightweight rashie or swimmers from a suitable awning bar or pole. Rad Mag helps keep damp gear up off the ground and gives it some room to air out.
Choose a spot with airflow, and check that the strap is secure before leaving your gear to dry. It’s a handy beach-camp routine: swim, hang, repeat.
4. Find a spot for your tea towels
Tea towels and caravans have a tricky relationship: there’s rarely a good spot, so they end up draped over seats or bunched on the bench. Loop a Rad Mag over a draw handle and the tea towel has a secure, tidy home that stays put while you drive between stops.
It keeps the towel close to the camp kitchen and stops it sliding off every time someone brushes past.
5. Keep the dog towel handy
Travelling with a four-legged adventurer often means muddy paws, sandy fur and the occasional enthusiastic splash. Hang a lightweight dog towel from a suitable pole or rail using Rad Mag, ready for the post-adventure shake-off.
Keep it somewhere easy to reach before your mate heads back into the caravan for a full lap of the seats.
6. Tidy up charging cables
Charging leads can quickly take over a camp table. When you’re parked, use Rad Mag on a suitable handle or pole to give a lightweight cable a tidy place to hang between uses.
Keep cords clear of walkways, water and hot cooking gear. It’s a small organising trick that can make a busy campsite setup feel less cluttered.
7. Give your head torch a landing spot
A head torch is easy to forget when you’re packing up, especially after an early start or a late night. Hang it by its strap from a Rad Mag loop on a suitable pole or handle, so it’s easy to find when the light starts to fade.
Keep this for a lightweight torch or accessory, not bulky lamps or anything you wouldn’t want to drop.
8. Hang a small toiletry pouch
At a caravan, tent or camp shower, a lightweight toiletry pouch can be easier to reach when it’s off the ground. Use Rad Mag on a suitable rail or handle to hang a small pouch while you get sorted.
Keep the contents light, and choose a sheltered spot where the pouch won’t swing into people or gear.
9. Keep a small first aid pouch handy
A first aid kit only helps if you can find it in a hurry. Hang a lightweight first aid pouch from a Rad Mag loop on a suitable rail or handle near the camp kitchen or caravan door, so it’s easy to grab when someone cops a burn, a bite or a blister.
Keep the contents light, and make sure everyone at camp knows where it hangs.
10. Set up a beach or fishing gear station
After a day by the water, a lightweight towel, cap or pair of gloves can go straight onto a suitable rail or pole with Rad Mag. It’s a simple way to gather the small essentials you want to find again before heading off.
Rad Mag is designed to move easily between setups, so it can come along from the caravan to the beach camp, boat rail or 4WD touring base.
A few smart Rad Mag tips
- Check the fit: The Rad Mag is designed to wrap around objects up to 3.5 cm in diameter. Make sure your chosen pole or handle fits before you set off.
- Keep it lightweight: Rad Mod Cons describes Rad Mag for hats, caps, towels, cords and lightweight gear. The product page doesn’t list a maximum load rating, so don’t use it for heavy or safety-critical items.
- Test your setup: Give the strap and hanging item a gentle check before you walk away. Wind and movement can change how securely something hangs.
- Pack it away before driving: Don’t leave loose items hanging in a vehicle while travelling. Stow the Rad Mag and anything attached to it before you hit the road.
- Be mindful around kids and pets: Rad Mag contains strong magnets. Keep it out of reach, and follow the ACCC’s advice on small high-powered magnets.
A small organiser, lots of campsite uses
The best camping accessories are the ones that make everyday camp life a little easier. Rad Mag creates a quick hanging point for the lightweight items you use often, whether you’re organising a camp kitchen, drying beach gear or setting up for a weekend of 4WD travel.
