Everything you need to head out, stay out, and get back safe. This section covers base-camp tents, ultralight shelters, sleeping systems, stoves, packs, lights, and the small gear that makes a big difference on trail.
Who it’s for
Campers, hikers, and weekend explorers who want reliable, field-tested gear that packs small, sets up fast, and lasts through rough weather.
Quick gear checklist
✅ Shelter: Tents & tarps — look for wind ratings and packed size.
✅ Sleep: Sleeping bags and pads — match temperature ratings to your season.
✅ Cooking: Stoves & cookware — fit fuel type and pot size (1 L standard fits most UL kits).
✅ Lighting: Headlamps & lanterns — consider lumens vs runtime.
✅ Packs: Day vs multi-day capacity; balance weight and frame support.
✅ Power: 12 V friendly solar banks for boondock or off-grid use.
❌ Avoid bulk gear you’ll leave in the car instead of your pack.
❌ Don’t ignore local BLM/USFS stay limits (usually 14 days).
