It is time to gear up and explore your favorite camp sites. Personally we love to camp, especially tent camping. I find that there is no better way to go out and just enjoy nature.

No. 1 – First Aid Kit

This first aid kit is very easy to carry and can hold many have-must emergency essentials. This is good to bring on a hike or camping or in the car. Easy to clean up small scrapes and abrasions. It is a convenient waterproof first aid kit with plastic compartments for quick and easy access to what you need.

No. 2 – Tent

Coleman Sundome 4-Person Tent with Rainfly, Weatherproof Tent

Use it as two single beds, convert them into a bunk, or even transform it into a bench. The no-tool assembly allows you to easily switch between configurations. The steel frame’s rugged durability and stability ensures a level sleeping surface even on uneven terrain. There is no middle leg or center brace allowing the sleeping mat to conform to your body for true contoured comfort. Made with a high-grade 600D polyester sleeping deck, PVC coated, water-resistant, and with a 500 lbs weight tolerance per single cot. Not only does it work for tent camping, it can also fit inside our Chevy Express van. I love that it can be converted to two or one cot and comes with pockets for things like a water bottle or your phone.

No. 3 – Sleeping Bag

Coleman Brazos 20/30°F Adult Cool-Weather Sleeping Bag

Some great features of this sleeping bag are the thermolock draft tube along the zipper keeps body heat from escaping, fiberlock construction keeps insulation from shifting, easier packing with fasteners that lock bag in place as you roll, zip 2 bags together for double the room, and no-snag zipper. For me, Coleman is a tried and true brand. They last forever and are great quality.

MEREZA Double Sleeping Bag for Adults Mens with Pillows

$69.99

Roomy, rectangular shape provides maximum comfort and easily fits 2 people up to 7 FEET, so lofty and wide even for two big and tall persons to have plenty of room to stretch out.
