41 cool camping gear for 2024, according to experts

Ritz Carlton tent. Truly, all Snow Peak tents are luxury backcountry products, but this wall tent is basically a mini house. It has a living, dining and sleeping area. Bring “Hemingway on Safari” luxury to your next group camping trip.

With the exception of this guy, camping chairs are inherently uncomfortable. Sure, it’s no La-Z-Boy, but it’s about as close as you can get in the wilderness. Siesta is well-padded, can also recline, and has a weight capacity of 300 pounds. There is a weight limit, but it is light anyway. Get this: It also has a cup holder. What more could you want in the great outdoors?

Sure, some campgrounds may have fire pits where you can grill hot dogs on sticks or throw something over the coals. But this retractable Takibi grill is the centerpiece of the campsite. Everyone gathers around it and the cook throws the meat and vegetables directly onto the grill. It’s truly a luxury.

A waterproof backpack that looks great on the trail or on the train. The lightweight roll-top design allows you to pack more gear than a regular pack. Yes, the price is steep, but this is a do-it-all pack. Replace with 3 other bags. For that, it’s worth the price.

There are no electrical outlets at the campsite, but that’s not a problem. Buy a small solar power bank and you can charge it anytime.

I have always had trouble packing cooking knives. There’s just too much to do, so normally I’d just use a pocket knife and a cutting board. But now you can pack this GSI knife set of his into a small carry bag and throw it in with the rest of your kitchen supplies. Oddly enough, it’s the ultimate backcountry luxury.

A satellite communicator is a must-have if you’re going far from the grid, where cell phone service is guaranteed to be unavailable. Garmin’s InReach Mini offers simple SOS as well as more complex two-way messaging, location sharing, and weather updates.

There’s nothing more infuriating than putting up a tarp. Maybe it’s because of my low IQ, but I’ve never had a good time.

Everything changed after I got this Snow Peak tarp. First, it’s huge, big enough to fit the whole family’s dinner table. Second, it was the easiest to set up by far. There are only six tie-offs and the two pole system allows for complete standalone setup. I can complete this on my own in just a few minutes.

My family has an old Coleman packable table that is still functional. This Oniva model is as close to it as his 2024. It should still work in 2054.

The LifeStraw has become popular for its straws, but a fully collapsible bladder is a better investment. You can easily filter one liter at a time as well.

Shovel: You won’t know if you need a shovel until you need it. The DMOS Stealth shovel is as cool as anything on this list. Fully collapsible and lightweight, packing is no problem and an absolute lifesaver for firebreaks. Or snow. Or…well…cathole.

Pelican cases are famous for being sturdy. When wildlife photographers take their $20,000 worth of cameras into remote locations, they use pelican cases. The new Pelican Adventure Case is specially designed to store your gear and secure it to your car when you’re on the go. Convenient, durable, and will last a lifetime.

Looking for a reliable camping stove that will last a lifetime? Camp Chef’s Mountaineer is trusted by guides and casual campers around the world. It’s simple and no-frills, but it’s the best camping stove on the planet.

Rumpl’s signature design is this outdoor blanket that greatly improves the quality of your camping life, primarily by keeping you warm without weighing you down. Apart from that, corner loops allow you to secure the blanket to the ground. This is a small feature that solves one of the most vexing problems in camping. A cape clip allows you to wear the blanket hands-free. Rumpl’s ones are made from extremely durable, outdoor-friendly materials.

This is a work for otakus. Geodesic tents are the pinnacle of outdoor design, offering great temperature control and wind resistance. All of the Everest tents are very similar. If you want to splurge, this is the place.

The simplest gadget that will change your life. No more carrying around logs like a loser.

Sure, firelight is nice, but you’ll also need something machine-made. Barebones has a lot of lanterns, but two of his stand out: his Beacon hanging lamp and his large Forest lantern. The Beacon’s carabiner clip makes it more portable, but the Forest offers more coverage. Both have incredible (and rechargeable) battery life and dimming settings, and both have the rough, tough quality you need for camping.
