Looking to go on a little adventure this summer? We've got you covered. Whether you're camping, hiking, or both, we've rounded up some of our favorite outdoorsy gear, so you can have everything you need to safely explore the great outdoors.
Kelty Wireless 6 Tent
You might have a tent. I already do. But this summer, I’m investing in a big tent. While six people won’t be sleeping in this tent this summer, it’ll be good for creating a big space to create your own area to hang out in. It’ll also pay off. Once we can camp with a bunch of people, there’s nothing like piling into one tent.
Osprey Daylite 20L
If you’re one of those people who hikes without a backpack, this is the summer to start wearing one. This backpack is lightweight, will hold all of your stuff, and is compatible with a hydration reservoir because staying hydrated is essential.
Surviveware First Aid
Another essential for camping or hiking, this should be able to help with any minor injury that happens while you’re outdoors. Pro tip, this one also has skin cleaning wipes, which might come in handy.
Black Diamond Distance Z Trekking Poles
When you’re not at the campsite, exercise social distancing with trekking poles. You should have a pair already, these are lightweight and great for tackling hills. But you can also use them as a measuring stick. Each one is about three feet long, so two lengths away is the right distance you should stay from people.
Black Diamond Revolt
I can’t recommend this headlamp enough. One of the biggest things about getting outdoors this summer will be minimizing the things you share and touch, so this is a great way to have your own personal light. You won’t notice it on your head and it won’t turn on accidentally in your pack either, thanks to the nifty lock feature.
