Tents
This is the most comfortable car camping bed ever! We top ours with a foam pad so that you get a combination of foam and air, and you have to love the storage space under the cot. Just unfold the cot, fill the mattress with air, zip the mattress cove...

My favorite super ultra lightweight backpacking tent. If you’re looking to cut down your weight on trail, this is the one person backpacking tent for you. Save even more weight by using your tracking poles instead of the tent poles.

The ONLY shoes I wear now! If you’re tired of regular shoes not being foot shaped and squeezing your toes, on or off trail, these are a MUST have. There is a reason that these shoes are so popular within the hiking community. Your toes will thank you...

The BEST budget trekking poles. These poles are the ones I grab again & again. These are every bit as good as the more expensive lightweight carbon poles that I have in my closet & for a fraction of the price!
