These are awesome for marking your lines.
MPOWERD Luci Solar Site Lights - 6 Mini Lights, Solar/USB Rechargeable
I have this to my partner as a stocking stuffer and it’s absolutely the best tool to help get a fire started. It’s a 10/10! Also he loved it and uses it even in our wood burning stove at home sometimes.

These are THE BEST camp string lights around. I swear by it!

I don't own this, but I wish I did! It's on my wish list!
Gear Box
Kitchen
Reliable kitchen gear that makes cooking outdoors feel almost as easy as cooking at home.
I got this for Christmas last year and it’s by far one of my favorite camping items. It keeps my kitchen gear organized easily accessible.
Camp Galley - Kelty
I don’t get any kind of kickback for these, but it’s the absolute best deal for all the pieces. It’s such a great dinnerware set. Super high quality.
Hydro Flask® 6-Piece Dinner Set
If you’re into food prepping before you go, I love these.

I've had a version of this exact camping stove for over a decade and it still works amazingly well.

Accommodations & Comfort
Because a comfortable campsite makes all the difference. These picks add warmth, convenience, and a little extra luxury to your outdoor setup.
I have this and love it. I do think buying the poles by Kelty as well make a huge difference in setup. It does take some practice to get good at, but it’s so so worth it!
Noah's Tarp 16 - Kelty
Give rise to your tarp. The Staff Pole is a basic essential that’s super handy when you’re setting up shelter overhead. Made of lightweight aluminum and 78-inches long with a two-inch grommet tip, it can help secure every type of tarp worry-free.

Staff Pole - Kelty
We have two of these and two of the staff poles from Kelty for our Noah’s tarp. We tried cheaper Amazon poles and they did not hold up. I 100% recommend these.
Adjustable Pole
You can fully stand in this tent, which was a requirement for us. It’s big enough to have a full or queen mattress, plus beds for our dogs. Also the awning is awesome, especially camping in rainy WA.
Rumpus 6P Tent
The footprint for the Rumpus 6 fits perfectly.
Rumpus 6 Footprint

Personal Items
Small but essential personal gear that makes camping easier, cleaner, and more comfortable—from headlamps to trail-friendly hygiene items.
I don't know how I'd survive without my headlamp. It's so dear to me and an absolute must for pit toilets in the night!
Storm 450 Headlamp
This is more than just a cloth. This is the product of years of obsessing over a way to create a pee cloth that solves all of the problems of traditional pee cloth options. It is a real piece of gear (not an afterthought scrap or remnant of fabric) c...
'In the Valley' Kula Cloth® Artist Series
The best, most comfortable, warm and practical camp shoe around.
