Gear emoji 11 items
We've been refining our camping gear situation for years and these are the things we never leave home without. We've managed to fit a weeks worth of supplies and gear into a four door sedan, so even though we do car camping and not the full on backpa...

Honestly I use this for so much more than camping, but it's a game changer in getting the car unpacked and the site set up. Also has been great for just bringing in the groceries so I don't have to make as many trips. Folds down so easily and takes u...

This honestly is the best bang for our buck we ever invested into our camping setup. It really is possible to set up with one person (though definitely easier with two), and it's held up for us through several years of camping trips now. It's great f...

The first time we used this tent, our campsite was entirely under water when we woke up, but not a drop of water made its way into this tent. It then rained overnight ALL night the next several times we used it and still bone dry. It's lightweight an...

We have the double wide version of this sleeping pad but you could just as easily use two singles. Quick to inflate with the provided pump sack, stays inflated all night long! Shockingly comfortable for how thin it is, you could be sleeping on a bed ...

Camp Kitchen

This table is so handy and packs down surprisingly small. It's the perfect sturdy surface to put the camp stove on, prep food on, eat at, whatever you need. We even use it at home as an extra surface for dinner parties, makes a great salad station!

A great addition to the line-up! Love the wheels on this thing, makes it so much easier to get from car to campsite. This kept things good and cold for as long as you could realistically hope for on 90 degree days.

Does everything you could hope for out of a camping stove. We love using this for making breakfast when we don't have the patience to get a campfire going first thing in the morning before eating. Perfect for getting some water hot for morning coffee...

A game changer for those who are prone to burning their hands! No more sand in the dutch oven lid!

Cast iron just cannot be beat when it comes to campfire cooking and while the dutch oven isn't necessarily the first piece you should add to your collection, it is a great one! We use it for chili and buffalo chicken dip and a camping trip just isn't...

A perfect bag for day hikes. Lightweight and comfortable, totally changed the game on my lower back pain compared to when I was just starting out and using a regular backpack.

If you, like us, are in an apartment and have no where to store a real kayak, Tucktec is the solution. Watch the video a couple times to learn how to set it up, but once you get the hang of it it's surprisingly straightforward. They have been nothing...
