Car camping or carrying everything?

A car-based camp gives you more space; a walk-in camp makes packed weight and volume much more important. Choose equipment around how it gets to camp, not only how it looks when unpacked.

Make your essentials easy to find

Keep lighting, water and an extra layer accessible when you arrive. Use separate bags for clothing, wet items and small accessories so setup does not mean unpacking everything.

Check what is available

The current online selection focuses on hydration, lighting, dry storage and accessories. Tents, sleeping systems and stoves are not represented here as available stock. Confirm those items separately before relying on them for a trip.

Make room for the right gear

Camping essentials: choose for how you travel.

Equipment carried from a vehicle can prioritise durability and organisation. Equipment carried on foot also needs to earn its weight. Here are three useful decisions before adding to your camping kit.

Organising gear inside a pack

An Ultra-Sil Dry Bag separates clothing and other small items without the bulk of a heavy storage bag.

Before you choose

Use it for internal organisation; do not treat lightweight fabric as an abrasion shield on a roof rack or bike.

More exposed storage

A Big River Dry Bag adds tougher fabric and attachment points for equipment that needs a more durable bag.

Before you choose

Allow room to roll the closure properly. Sea to Summit advises against submerging roll-top dry bags.

Hands-free light

The Black Diamond Deploy 325 Run Light is a wearable lighting option for tasks where you need both hands.

Before you choose

Consider beam coverage and runtime at the setting you will use. A headlamp and an area-lighting lantern do different jobs.
