If you still have some last minute camping shopping to do, then you'll want to keep reading.
Stella revealed the products you may have never thought you would need but will become essential.
In the clip, she said: "If you're going to be camping at any festivals or just camping in general, these things might help.
"First of all, heat patches. Put them on your bum.
"Trust me, they are a lifesaver in the cold night."
Stella headed to Home Bargains to pick up the HotHands hand warmers which come in a pack of five pairs for £3.45.
Not only are these buys super cheap and easy to travel with, they can help keep you toasty all night long with ten hours of use.
The camping whizz also recommended picking up the hard ground tent pegs from the store which cost just 99p a pack to make sure your tent stays where you put it.
Last but not least, she urged everyone to buy some single se coffee filters.
Stella added: "The next thing is my absolute camping godsender and it's these coffee filters.

"I'm a bit of a coffee snob and let me tell you, these in the morning, absolutely stunning. It's about as going to get to grinding the beans yourself on a campsite."
You can buy the Cup Filters Italian Style Coffee from M&S, it includes 10 single use filters filled with coffee for just £4.25.
The video went viral on her TikTok account @stellasoloadventures with over 73k views and 4,200 likes.
People were quick to thank her in the comments for her tips.

No, I'm not going to bloody Glasto

'Are you going to Glasto?' Just the name – in that smug, shortened form – is enough to set my left eyelid twitching, the way it does when I read emails from people who still include pronouns in their signature. 'Glasto', trailing the self-satisfied whiff of BBC executives high-tailing it from Hampstead on a taxpayer-funded jolly, of hedgies glamping in a five-grand-a-night yurt and the sort of inherited wealth that means you crash in a mate's eight-bedroom Old Rectory within the free ticket zone, rather than camping cheek-by-unwashed-jowl with the masses. No, I am not going to Glastonbury. The last time I went – and I can tell you the exact year, because I found the programme while going through some boxes in the attic – was 2004. I think it was the first year the Great Wall went up to stop people scaling the fence and, getting there late on the Wednesday, we had to pitch our tents hard against it – which was like camping in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, though less convivial. That was the year I swore I'd never go again: the crowds were insane (150,000) and just moving between stages took at least two hours. The five days were an exhausting feat of endurance with the odd highlight (James Brown on the Pyramid stage, Orbital headlining the Other Stage on the Sunday night) but it was such a crush to move around the site, you were doing well if you managed to see even a couple of bands a day. Glastonbury also has the worst sanitation of any festival I've ever been to, either as a punter or when I was working for the news teams of Radio 1 and, later, 6 Music. (See Julian Temple-Morris's 2006 documentary for a taster.) It was only bearable back in 2004 because my cousin's band were playing the New Bands stage and I had a backstage pass so could use their loos. (Shamefully, I didn't even watch their set as they clashed with P.J. Harvey.) Apparently there are showers at Glastonbury, but I've never had one – or met anyone who has. This year a whopping 210,000 tickets have been sold. A built-up area of over 200,000 is classed as a city by the Office for National Statistics. From today, Worthy Farm in Somerset will have a temporary population somewhere between that of Reading and Wolverhampton. Even before you look at the line-up, which is lacklustre (my only must-see would be Neil Young, but I have tickets for his Hyde Park concert next month; these days I only go to gigs where I can sleep in my own bed), just the logistics of getting around the site are about as appealing as the SAS selection march over the Brecon Beacons. You can, of course, smoke weed and take shrooms to mitigate the privation – only one of your mates will invariably do a Syd Barrett and require looking after for the rest of the weekend. And depending on the weather, there will be sunburn or trench-foot – or both – to contend with. You should also forget any Alexa Chung-style outfits you had planned; England in June can be extraordinarily cold and unsettled (remember, D-Day had to be postponed). I vaguely recall watching Paul McCartney while I was wrapped in a damp blanket from the Oxfam stall that smelt of the old person who'd died in it. Of course, moaning that Glastonbury isn't what it used to be is all part of the ageing process – I get that. 'What do you mean, you need money, darling?' asked my mother when I wanted her to sub me for my ticket sometime in the late 1990s. 'I didn't pay anything when I went.' She went to the first Glastonbury (then the Pilton Pop Festival, but that moniker was swiftly dropped, presumably being less marketable to Trustafarian twats). They watched Marc Bolan and drank free milk from the dairy. This year a pint of festival cider will cost you around £7, which isn't outrageous – but remember to make it last because the queues for both bars and bogs will be apocalyptic. And good luck finding your friends ever again if you need to head off on your own during the 1975's set for a pee. Apparently there are showers at Glastonbury, but I've never had one – or met anyone who has Even if you can get close enough to the stage – rather than watching on the giant screens – your vision will be obscured by the serried ranks of Palestine flags. One of the most wilful misconceptions about Glastonbury is that it's a lovely crowd of chilled old hippies. Try sticking your head under a standpipe meant for drinking water because you just can't go another day without washing your hair and hear the queue of knit-your-own-Guardian readers erupt with language that would make a paratrooper blush. There's vast cognitive dissonance between the festival giving millions to charities like Greenpeace and the grotesque amounts of rubbish and single-use plastic (mostly in the form of abandoned tents, wellies and ponchos) left behind. This year there's added spice – in addition to the usual 'festival flu' and STDs – with warning of a measles outbreak from the UK Health Security Agency, due to all the unvaccinated Gen Z-ers, born in the wake of the MMR scare. There have also been thousands of cases of Covid reported by people who went to Download earlier this month. But there's no need to spank nearly £400 on a Glastonbury ticket (you can't, in any case – they sold out in 35 minutes). To recreate the experience at home, just do the following: stop washing and use baby wipes instead. Retch every time you open the bathroom door and give yourself a UTI by going for as long as you can without peeing. Throw your phone in a bush. Eat a burrata and butternut squash flatbread wrap and then bin £20. Fail to find your bed and have a couple of hours of fitful sleep outside while playing industrial techno through a tinny speaker. Oh – and, crucially, watch it all on TV. That's really what all those Glasto-goers will be doing anyway.

Tragic last vid shows tourist, 26, smiling next to pal at summit before deadly plunge in active volcano crater

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TRAGIC footage shows a tourist, 26, smiling and joking with her pal before fatally falling into an active volcano crater. Juliana Marins slipped and plunged more than 1,600 feet from a hiking trail along the crater rim of Mount Rinjani on Saturday morning. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 The publicist and dancer had been backpacking though Southeast Asia 10 Juliana and her pal Federica joked about the cloud covered view at the top of Mount Rinjani 10 The 26-year-old survived the fall but was unable to climb back up due to her injuries The Brazilian national, who was a publicist and dancer from Niterói, near Rio de Janeiro, was trapped for four days after she fell while trekking up Indonesia's second-highest volcano. She had been backpacking through Southeast Asia since February, documenting her solo trip on social media. In heartbreaking footage, shared by a pal she met along her travels, Juliana could be seen joking and dancing in the days before her death. More clips showed the adventurous 26-year-old showing off the stunning vistas while riding on mopeds. Other shots revealed the dancer jumping into picturesque sinkholes and exploring caverns. In a tragic last video, Juliana and her friend Frederica, jibed about the view at the top of Mount Rinjani as it had been concealed by cloud cover. "I met Juliana the day before the trip. We were both traveling alone. We made it all the way to the top. It was very difficult. We climbed about 1,500 meters," Federica told G1 after the horror. In the clip Federica says sarcastically: "The view is amazing, you can tell it was so worth it." Juliana jokes: "Yeh, we did it for the view, so I'm glad, amazing!". This comes as distressing drone footage was also released which revealed Juliana trapped in a pit on the volcano as rescuers tried to reach her. Tourists on the Indonesian island of Lombok spotted her inside the crater after hearing screams for help. Juliana survived the fall but was unable to climb back up due to her injuries and had no access to food, water or shelter. The first rescue team was dispatched at 2.32pm local time on Saturday. After the initial alarm was raised, six more rescue teams tried to reach her. They were supported by two helicopters and equipment including an industrial drill. Cold temperatures and fog made search efforts on Sunday harder to navigate but a drone was able to locate Juliana. 10 A video shared by Juliana showed her dancing with pals on her travels Credit: Instagram@ajulianamarins 10 Other shots in the video revealed the dancer jumping into picturesque sinkholes Credit: Instagram@ajulianamarins 10 More clips showed the adventurous 26-year-old riding on mopeds Credit: Instagram@ajulianamarins However, when rescuers descended the volcano on Monday, she was no longer in the same spot. Rescuers finally located her on Tuesday, but it was tragically too late. Her family confirmed her death on social media, writing: "Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was. "With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive. "We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received." Earlier this week, Nikolas Osman, spokesperson for the East Lombok Police, said Juliana was hiking in a group and fell after suffering fatigue. He said: "While heading to the summit of Rinjani on the way to the Cemara Tunggal area, the victim experienced fatigue and the guide at that time advised her to rest. "Then the five guests in the tour group were taken by the guide to continue the journey. "However, by the time he returned to fetch her, the Brazilian woman was already missing." Indonesian authorities deployed three helicopters to try and rescue Juliana, according to West Nusa Tenggara governor Lalu Muhamad Iqbal. Iqbal told reporters: 'One helicopter from the Indonesian Armed Forces and national search and rescue agency (Basarnas) is expected to arrive at Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (BIZAM) around 2pm local time today.' Before the incident, Juliana had visited Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. 10 In distressing drone footage, Juliana is seen trapped in a pit on the volcano as rescuers try to reach her 10 The young woman tragically died while hiking up Mount Rinjani 10 The search for Juliana was hampered by fog
