Clothes
These are the clothes I always pack for my trips. While it’s great to have specialized outdoor gear, sometimes the basics you already have at home work just as well. Comfortable layers and versatile pieces are key, as long as you’re prepared for the ...
I have exactly these shoes and I am happy with them. Just be aware that they’re great for light rain and water resistance, but if you step into a deep puddle, your feet might get a bit wet. If you're on a budget, though, they’re perfect and do the jo...

My partner has a similar pair of these shoes and is really happy with them. They’re great for light rain and water resistance, but if you step into a deep puddle, your feet might get a bit wet. If you're on a budget, though, they’re perfect and do th...
Budget Hiking shoes - Men
This is always on me during every hike! I wear it around my waist, and it’s perfect for easy access to my phone and other small essentials I always need on hand, like keys or snacks.
Bum Bag
In the mountains, the weather can change in an instant, so it’s crucial to always have a raincoat with you. This one is super lightweight and doesn’t take up much space in your bag – just throw it in and forget about it until you need it. It’s thin, ...
Raincoat
You don’t necessarily need a dedicated hiking backpack, the one you have at home can work just fine. If you prefer to buy one, it doesn’t need to be big either, just enough space for a sweater, a rain jacket, your water bottle, and some snacks. The k...
Hiking Backpack
It tends to get pretty chilly in the evenings and nights, so it’s a good idea to bring some warm clothing along. A cozy jacket will definitely keep you comfortable and prepared for the drop in temperature

Tent
I always bring two blankets with me: one I place on the mattress for extra comfort, and the other I take outside to use around the campfire. Just be careful when you're near the fire, if the blanket is too close, the ashes could land on it and burn h...
Blanket
I have one headlamp, this, the more expensive one, which I absolutely love. I can see with it pretty far away!
Headlamp
I found a cheaper one online, and while I haven't tested it yet, I'm pretty sure it will get the job done just fine.
Cheaper Headlamp
The sleeping bag I’ve got, the one in the picture, works pretty well for me. It keeps me warm throughout the night, and I’m happy with how well it holds the heat.
Sleeping Bag
Just a heads-up, if you’re not using a self-inflating mat, you’ll definitely need one of these hand pumps, don’t forget it! The only downside is that it takes a while to pump, and my arm always gets tired. So, when that happens, I just ask my partner...
Hand Pump
You probably already have some newspaper at home 📰, but if not, you can easily grab some from any store, it’s cheap and essential for your campfire! Just make sure you have enough!
Newspaper, for the fire!
Well, if you don't like pumping by hand, there is always the foot option!
Foot Pump
This is the easiest option! You don’t even need a pump, it inflates by itself, which makes life so much simpler. It’s a bit more expensive than the other option, but if your lazy (like me)this one is totally worth it.
Self-Inflating Mattress - 1 Person
If you don’t mind inflating it yourself, this mattress is a more affordable option.

Other things
These are just extras I bring along — not essentials, but they can brighten up your camping experience or prove useful when you least expect it.
You might be surprised that I’m mentioning a needle 🪡, but trust me—it’s something you’ll be glad to have. I’ve learned from experience that accidents can happen, like when the cord you use to tie down your tent breaks, or when you accidentally snag...
Needles
This is one of my favorite things! It’s so easy to set up, and there’s nothing better than just chilling in it. I love lying back and watching the stars from there
Hammock
I don't use a dedicated pillow, I always sleep on one of my hoodies. But if you have some extra space in your car or bag, why not go for a real pillow?
Pillow
I love this, it also holds your drink!
Chair
Decoration (just to make it cute)
These are the little touches I always bring along to make the campsite feel extra cozy and inviting ✨🏕️. I love adding that personal touch to make my camping experience feel more like a home away from home!!! 🌟
I always hang the string lights on the tent door, and they create such a cute and cozy vibe in the evening. Sometimes, I even put them inside the tent along the edge of where I sleep.

Kitchen
You might be surprised, AGAIN, but one of the simplest and tastiest camping meals I’ve tried is when you wrap a raw potato in tin foil 🥔 and place it directly into the coals of the fire 🔥. As the heat from the embers cooks it, the outside gets a slight char, while the inside bec...
Tin foil....but why?
This set is literally perfect for everything. It includes all the essentials: a knife, fork, spoon, a ladle for soups and for second course. I use it every time I go camping, and it’s just flawles. Durable, compact, and super practical it’s a must-ha...
