Camping Essentials
Camping is about making memories, not packing the most expensive gear. On this page you'll find the camping equipment we actually use on our family adventures—from weekend getaways to longer trips across the Pacific Northwest.
Every product featured here has earned a place in our setup because it's reliable, practical, and worth bringing along. We don't recommend gear just because it's popular—we recommend it because we've used it ourselves.
Browse our camping essentials below to see honest reviews, real photos, and why each piece of gear has become part of our adventures.

Cloud Nine Tents
The Cloud Nine rooftop tent has become one of my favorite camping upgrades. It's quick to set up, comfortable to sleep in, and built to make every camping trip a little easier. After putting it to use on our adventures, it's earned a permanent spot on my truck.

Devos LightRanger
A good campsite light can completely change your camping experience, and the Devos LightRanger has earned a permanent spot in our gear. Compact, bright, and incredibly easy to set up, it's one of the first things we grab when the sun goes down.
