Knives
During the mushroom season, i.e. from mid-summer to late autumn, many people head out into the fields and forests to enjoy the natural surroundings and prepare delicious supplies for the winter. During such trips, it is good to equip oneself with the right tools. Among these, sturdy blades are of particular importance. Choosing the right knife influences the efficiency of the harvest, but also the proper preservation of the forest ecosystem.
Thanks to the suitable NEO brand blades, it is possible to cut off the stems of mushrooms without damaging them (including root part, which is valuable for animals). The ergonomic handle will ensure comfortable work, and their non-slip texture prevents the tool from falling out of your hand. NEO brand knives are made of suitable steels, resistant to moisture or corrosion. Choose a classic knife with a wooden handle or a multi-purpose tactical knife in a protective blade case.
Multifunction tools
If your mushroom picking expedition involves a full day's activity and is combined with the subsequent processing of the mushrooms, it is worth having a multifunctional tool in your equipment. Often when delving further into the forest, you may come across natural obstacles paving the way. The NEO 11-in-1 Multitool with robust axe, for example, comes in handy in such circumstances. On the other hand, the multitool with LED 12 by NEO is a product that also offers the accessories needed for minor repairs and is suitable for all unexpected situations.
NEO's multifunctional tools are made of lightweight, easy-to-carry materials, so it's worth taking them with you on any mushrooming expedition.
Footwear
Why is the right footwear crucial when mushrooming? Well-designed shoes protect against cold ground, moisture, injuries caused by sharp branches or protect feet against ticks and bugs. Therefore, on rainy days it is good to choose wellingtons or rubber boots of the NEO or VERTO brands, thanks to which you will not be afraid of muddy, slippery ground.
On slightly more sunny days, half-boots with a sturdy sole or ankle boots will be perfect. The footwear on offer here is made of high-quality materials that adapt well to the foot.
Accessories
What else can come in handy when mushroom picking? When setting off early in the morning for the woods, don't forget a suitable container to carry your harvest in. A versatile bucket will also come in handy in many other circumstances. If you are in a new place, orientation remains a key safety issue. With a waterproof phone case, you will be able to check your navigation without worrying about damaging or getting your camera wet. If it rains, a 3-in-1 rain cape or 600D NEO waterproof backpack will also come in handy.
In a forest setting it is also nice to drink warm tea while enjoying the surrounding nature. The NEO and GRAPHITE brands offer comfortable thermoses that keep drinks hot for a long time.
