There is a very limited amount of time left to get out and be one with nature while wearing your boardshorts. Take advantage of the end of the summer camping season by packing up the best, the lightest and the most fun camping gear to have one final retreat to the lake or river nearest you.
We’ve found the best products that are necessary for your last warm weather trek out of the city. For yourself, grab a pair of Rhythm Livin’ swim trunks, pair it with a cool camp tee from Parks Project, and of course your sunnies. For Fido, we recommend a leash/collar combo from Wolfgang Man & Beast.
Now for your home away from home, the Big Agnes Krumholtz UL2 mtnGLO, is ideal. With solar panels that fuel LED lights that line the silhouette of the tent, even when the sun goes down, you’ll still find your bed. But just in case you really want to be one with nature, go for the alternative of the Trek Light Gear Single Hammock. Worried about bugs? There’s an accessory for that.
