Camping in the great outdoors is a blast. But don’t forget the essentials.

More people looked up the words “camping” and “gear” in 2020 than ever before. Maybe it is because of the lockdown, rolling blackouts (if you live in CA) and the fact that it is plain ole fun to go off grid and enjoy the outdoors. Camping can be fun- but you need the right gear to get you out there (and stay out there safe). Our top 7 finds will help you to get on your way!

LED Lantern

The vintage-inspired lantern from Barebones Living creates a seamless, warm ambiance whether you're camping in the wild or entertaining in the backyard. Functionality meets classic design with simple on/off push button which also acts as a dimmer, rechargeable via micro USB, and durable stamped steel exterior. A full illuminated run time longer than a Tarantino movie- your good for a while.

Taimasi comprehensive survival kits not only include 22 piece multipurpose survival tools and a emergency tent/blanket, but it also offers a 45 piece first aid kit, 50 piece disposable glove set and a fishing tool set. This kit is the only kit you may need.
