Hunting and fishing aren’t the only outdoor activities experiencing a surge. State and National Parks continue to report record bookings for campsites and analysts predict a global $42 Billion market outlook for 2020-2025. Travelers who would normally spend their summer abroad have rediscovered the beauty and (not so) solitude in their own backyard.I found myself with my family on our own first campout in 2021. I discovered a whole world I never knew existed. I had to turn to the experts to figure out what outdoor camping gear we truly needed for our adventures. The Miss Pursuit team gave me the best tips. Whether heading out on a family camping trip or spending the weekend backpacking through the mountains, this is the best camping gear you need.

Sleeping Bags
- Nemo Disco Insulated Down Sleeping Bag
- ALPS Mountaineering 0 degree Mummy Sleeping Bag
- Kifaru Slick Bags
- TETON Sports Mammoth Queen-Size Double Sleeping Bag
This sleeping bag is roomy, extremely warm, and cozy. Perfect if you’re camping with your spouse, significant other, or even the kiddos.
Sleeping Pads/Cots
- Klymit Insulated Static V Sleeping Pad
- Slumberjack Adult Tough Cot
- Therm-a-Rest Ultralight Backpacking Air Mattress
- Therm-a-Rest Basecamp Self-Inflating Foam Camping Pad
