What Gear Do I Need To Camp?
Hey there!
It can be difficult to know what type of gear to get for your next camping trip. Fear not – we are here to help! Here are a couple thoughts to keep in mind when planning your next expedition:
- What type of camping are you planning? If you are car camping, you’ll need car camping gear, like a rooftop tent.
- Backyard with the kids. You don’t need much gear for this one – you can always retreat to the house!
- Casual, fun trip into the woods. Staying overnight in the woods doesn’t have to be complicated, but you’ll need a few more items.
- Advanced, multi-day trip into the wild. This type of camping is on a whole different level, and we won’t really go into it here.
At ACS, we have the gear to get you started on a light camping trip (think the 1st 3 above). Here’s what we recommend starting with if you’re just getting started:
