Sleeping
Can’t go wrong with a solid backpacking tent! Love this one for two people, really light weight but perfect for 3-season.
The North Face Stormbreak 2 Tent | REI Co-op
I loveee a good sleeping bag! This one is nice because it keeps my full body covered and can keep my pillow in place. Lots of sizes too to fit your needs!
REI Co-op Siesta Hooded 20 Sleeping Bag | REI Co-op
Cooking
I don’t go camping without this stove! It heats up your food so fast and is quite compact to easily store! The wind shields also come in handy for keeping the flame going.
Cascade Classic Camp Stove
If you’re one pot cooking this is a great option for a smaller stove! Compact and is so easy to use, no complications.
Coleman Xcursion 1-Burner Butane Stove | REI Co-op
This set of cookware can cook you just about anything. So many different components that fit inside one another to keep it compact, what else could you need?!

Don’t want to waste all of your water on washing dishes? These do just the job! Wipe out as much as you can with paper towels or a regular towel and then clean last with these! Brand New!

Keep your sharp knives and cutting board in one place with this compact pouch!
Santoku Knife Set
LOVE this mug! Will keep your hot drink hot for so long, same for a cold drink! Coffee is my favorite out of these and I literally have three colors to choose from!
Hydro Flask Mug - 12 fl. oz. | REI Co-op
Only because I’m a Hydroflask girly through and through, I fell in love with the french press they have! Works so well and is so easy to make coffee in the mornings!
Hydro Flask Insulated French Press - 32 fl. oz. | REI Co-op
Yall, I can’t explain how much I love this cooler. Yes it’s heavy but it will literally keep your ice frozen and your food colder for so much longer than any other cooler! It’s so worth the price I promise.
YETI Tundra 35 Cooler | REI Co-op
I can’t cook without my spices, this is so much easier than trying to pack your own spices each camping trip. Keep these packed up and you only have to refill when needed! Compact and easy to use!
Outdoor 7-Piece Spice Shaker & Squeeze Bottle Set
Hiking
I’ve had a few pairs of Salomon hiking boots and these are my current favorites! I’d rather have a higher ankle than short so I can make sure to keep those pesky pests off my ankles!
Salomon X Ultra 5 Mid GORE-TEX Hiking Boots - Women's | REI Co-op
This 13L pack is perfect for day hiking! Going on a short summit hike? To a waterfall? Around the park? Fits just the essentials for everyday hiking, super comfortable!
Osprey Daylite Pack | REI Co-op
This one is a little bigger at 26L. Going on that 10 mile hike you’ve been planning all winter now that it’s gotten warmer? Keep your lunch, an extra set of clothes in case the weather changes, socks, rain jacket, all things fit so nicely in here!
Osprey Hikelite 26 Pack | REI Co-op
Stopping for a rest on the edge of a lake to take in the beautiful views? Don’t sit on the ground or a rock, take two extra minutes to set up this hammock and you’ll be comfier than ever! So easy to set up and put away, weighs little to nothing!
ENO DoubleNest Hammock | REI Co-op
Always have to keep hydration on you! This one fits in water bottle mesh pockets of your book bag if you have them, or they can clip right on the outside for easy access! Light weight!
Nalgene Sustain Wide-Mouth Water Bottle - 32 fl. oz. | REI Co-op
LOVE these for those hikes you need a little bit of extra help on! Light weight to keep attached to your bag when you aren’t using them and the grip is so comfy, I haven’t gotten any blisters so that’s a huge plus!

Furry Friends
My dog wears this harness every single day. It’s the perfect size, light weight, and keeps him from slipping out in any scenario. Perfect for day hiking and keeping him close at the campsite!
Ruffwear Front Range Dog Harness | REI Co-op
Hiking a longer distance or overnight? Don’t put their food, toys, poop bags, or other necessities in your pack, make them carry it! They can carry more weight than you think they can and it frees up room in your pack!
Ruffwear Front Range Dog Day Pack | REI Co-op
ALWAYS make sure your pet is safe, too! Keep this compact size med kit in their own pack for the off chance they might need it, but at least you’ll be prepared!
ADS Trail Dog First Aid Kit
My dog keeps these things ON! No matter the weather, too cold or too warm, their little paws can get blistered or frozen so quickly! Keeps them off thorns too!
Ruffwear Grip Trex Dog Boots - Pair | REI Co-op
Puppies have to stay warm too! My dog loves this sleeping bag because he can curl up into his tiny little ball and sleep the night away and I have the peace of mind that he’ll be warm all night!
Ruffwear Highlands Dog Sleeping Bag | REI Co-op
Gadgets & Gear
You never know what you might come across while hiking or camping so why not come prepared with every little tool that could help! This leatherman has more than you can think of and can definitely get the job done.
Wave Plus Multi-Tool
I do love snuggling up with my honey near a fire so two separate chairs aren’t going to do the trick but this chair certainly will! Keeps your warmth under a blanket and it’s actually so comfy!
Kelty Low Loveseat | REI Co-op
If you do want a separate chair or you’re by yourself, I can’t recommend a rocking chair more. Literally so comfy and you get to move around instead of sitting still!
GCI Outdoor RoadTrip Rocker Chair | REI Co-op
Folded up this is close to the size of a camping chair. It’s a good size to cook on, put in the middle of the group for game night, or to sit around and chat by the fire! I get so much use out of this thing.
