Best Camping Gear Amazon

Whether you’re visiting the Mars-like terrain of Utah or the shores of Delaware, there are few things quite as restorative as spending time outdoors – and off the grid. Being outside gives us an opportunity to reconnect with nature and ourselves while instilling a sense of awe at our beautiful world. I may be old-fashioned, but I guess you miss using a fancy RV (basically an apartment on wheels) so I love camping in a good old fashioned tent. Camping gear has come a long way when it comes to comfort and convenience – here are some of our favorites to take with you.

The worst thing about tent camping used to be sleeping on the ground – but those days are gone: Meet the cot tent. They open up for easy assembly and disassembly, yet are light enough to carry. Because they’re off the ground, airflow is better, and if it rains you won’t get caught sleeping in a puddle. Even better when they come with a matching air bed and sleeping bag! It’s an upgrade worth the investment, and so convenient you’ll actually get a good night’s sleep (and fewer creepy crawlies invading your space).

Cot tents are usually available in one and two person sizes. If you already own a larger tent, freestanding cots will give you the same restful sleep. Save yourself back pain and enjoy the hiking trails rested. Don’t forget a hammer, like this one with Stake Remover, to secure your rain cover. It’s a must-have that secures any tent (and the only thing I easily forget)!

If you have ever experienced condensation Inside Your tent, you will know it can dampen your sleep. The solution is a tent fan, which will keep your tent airy instead of stuffy and hot. This one is rechargeable, has a light and charges your phone (!!!). If you’re worried that the light might lure uninvited guests into your tent, this bug spray for tent and gear is very effective at keeping them at bay.

After a good night’s sleep I like to wake up with a cup of hot instant coffee, french press or tea (it’s camping not the end of civilization after all). To heat drinks or cook meals in minutes, bring this Coleman portable stove with you. It’s fun, easy to use and conveniently uses butane gas. It also comes in a larger size depending on how many people you are feeding. Add a lightweight, compact Stanley Camp cook set for preparing meals or a larger set for families.

Take quick-drying, light microfiber towels with you when you go swimming or at the beach – since they dry quickly, they don’t get moldy and are quickly ready for use again. But if you have to wait to shower, these refreshing, biodegradable aloe body wipes are the next best thing (also perfect for the gym, airplanes etc.)!

When you’re ready to sit around the campfire, have cedar firelighters ready to get the fire roaring. Add marshmallows (or maybe some Adult drinks) for instant happiness. Now that you have the right gear – enter this PTO request!
