Camping is simple in theory, but the right gear makes all the difference! This list is a collection of my tried-and-true camping essentials — the items I consistently pack because they make life outdoors easier, more comfortable, and far more enjoyable. From reliable shelter and camp kitchen basics to the small things that make a campsite feel like home, these are the pieces that have earned a permanent spot in my camping setup.

Last summer, I completed the 107-mile Tour du Mont Blanc trek through France, Switzerland, and Italy. These are the exact items I packed and relied on during the hut-to-hut hike!

A full edit of the essentials — from litter setup to toys — practical, well-designed, and tested daily by my cats!

I’ve been on a lot of flights — long haul, short hops, red-eyes, early mornings — and these are the items I always keep in my carry-on. They make flying more comfortable, help me land feeling human, and streamline the entire airport experience. If it’s on this list, it comes with me every time.

A curated selection of the best that Vancouver — coffee, cocktails, and everything in between!
