WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN
GEAR FOR HIKING, BACKPACKING OR CAMPING?
Choosing the right type of gear for a camping or hiking trip can be intimidating, especially with all of the options available to you. How do you choose the right gear? While brand and price may be your first strategy, it's more important to evaluate the features and function of your gear and match it to the type of hiking or camping you plan to do. Let's take a look at several different types of camping and hiking to help you get started.
Do you prefer comfortable camping? Any time you can park a short walk from your campsite, you can camp comfortably with minimal planning and more gear than you really need. You don't have to pack it in - just put it in the trunk! Make sure you get a good tent and sleeping bag that will protect you from overnight temperatures. Then stock up on camp furniture for ultimate comfort, like a sleeping cot, some good camping chairs, and a full camp kitchen setup for a great morning breakfast. Comfortable camping also means you can bring coolers and hammocks that you wouldn't ever bring on an extended hike.
Are you more of a Day Hiker? Most day hikes are only a few miles and never lead you a few miles away from civilization. Even so, a five-mile hike can be much easier with light, comfortable gear. Get a good hydration pack or day pack to store a small meal or snack and other items.
Maybe you're all-in - you like backcountry hiking & multi-night camping. Whether it's for a single night or multiple nights of backpacking and camping, "be prepared" is the best advice we can give. In addition to a good backpack that has plenty of space for all the gear you'll need, and a sleeping bag and tent that are rated for the conditions you'll be in. Then gear up with water & hydration to stay hydrated, a compass and a first aid kit, flashlight or headlamp, and finally camp kitchen gear and food for your meals.
