Best of Camping Gear

Whether you and your family have been camping for years or you are giving it a try for the very first time, having the right gear to make sure you thoroughly enjoy your time together outdoors is essential. There are a lot of options out there and we have compiled a list of our top camping gear picks for Spring/Summer 2023:

MSR Habiscape 6

The first word that comes to mind when entering the Habiscape 6 is “cavernous.” No, it isn’t cold and clammy, but it is huge! And that means space at ground level and overhead so there’s room…

Marmot Limestone 4P

Whether you’re living in it at the campground or using it as a jumping-off basecamp, the Limestone 4P is one comfy home away from home. For starters, it is huge. It has got a massive, modular…

Kelty Caboose 4P

One gripe we’ve had about overlanding tents is that most of them attach in a way that renders them unusable without a vehicle or requires you to take them down if and when you need to…

Big Agnes Gold Camp 5 Tarp

There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about a pyramid-style shelter that just makes us want to spend a night outside. But nostalgia only goes so far if you’re stuck with a retro-style tent that doesn’t actually serve as…

Primus Moja

The Moja is such a cool little stove. While we love a traditional two-burner camp stove, sometimes it’s just more than is needed for a solo camping trip. And, on other occasions, it is nice to…

Nocs Provisions Zoom Tube 8 x 32

Be honest, have you ever considered bringing binoculars on a trip, decided not to because of the weight and bulk, and then wished you had them later? We certainly have. But, thanks to the Zoom Tube…

NEMO Stargaze Reclining Camp Chair

Admittedly, there are a lot of copycat camping chairs that don’t differentiate themselves much from the next chair. That’s certainly not the case with the Stargaze Reclining Camp Chair. This plush, swinging recliner isn’t about to…

Kelty Low Loveseat

We love a good camp chair, but we really love one that lets us settle in alongside a favorite companion. So, you can imagine our feelings about the Low Loveseat, a low-to-the-ground chair with a slightly…

CamelBak Chillbak Pack 30

Holy smokes! CamelBak pulled out all the stops with the Chillbak Pack 30. Calling it a pack seems like selling it short since it’s more like an all-in-one hydration solution. The sturdy insulated pack can carry…

Big Agnes Stake Hammer/Hatchet

Every now and then an accessory catches our eye and finds us saying “I want one” on its cool factor alone. The Stake Hammer/Hatchet falls firmly in that category but cool only goes so far if…

Big Agnes Torchlight Youth 20 Degree

Why do Mom and Dad have awesome sleeping bags and the kids get stuck with hand me downs or lesser bags? It doesn’t have to be that way and the Torchlight Youth 20 Degree bag is…

Big Agnes Captain Comfort Deluxe Camp

Naming a camping pad “Captain Comfort” is pretty audacious, but if you can back up the claim, there’s not much anyone can say. The Captain Comfort Deluxe Camp is certainly one plush mattress with sprawling dimensions,…
