The Ibex 2 is a great crossover between a backpacking and car camping tent—it is light enough to not be burdensome on the long trek into the backcountry, while still spacious, comfortable, and easy to set up. It is a three-season, free standing dwelling, with a durable floor and weather resistant rainfly.

“Camping doesn’t have to be uncomfortable,” reads the first line of Stoic’s description of the Single Cloud Camp Bed. This camp mattress is filled with foam padding wrapped in a soft and stretchy fabric that makes it akin to sleeping on a cloud. This is not an ultralight piece—this is designed for maximum comfort car camping. You are sure to send your project the morning after a refreshing night of sleep on the Single Cloud.

ALPS Mountaineering Wilderness Foam Mat

$27.99 (20% off, was $34.99)

As a counterpoint to the ultra-bougie sleep system found above, the Wilderness Foam Mat is a minimalist sleeping pad. It is affordable, super lightweight, and will last for innumerable nights of sleep in the backcountry—it is impossible to pop a non-inflatable sleeping pad. Countless backcountry veterans swear by the foam mat for just those reasons.

Stoic 3-Piece Backpacker Anodized Cook Set

$27.47 (45% off, was $49.95)

A cook set is one of the most essential pieces of camping gear—hot coffee and hot oatmeal in the morning before a day of climbing sounds much more enticing than cold insta-coffee and cold oats. This three-piece set from Stoic offers packable pots of different sizes, with foldable heat resistant handles, at a weight of just 4oz.
