Tips
Fly Camping
Tip from: Russell Summers
For compact overnight camping, we recommend a Kiwi Alpine Pot or Jetboil with your backcountry dehydrated food and a Hennessy Hammock. All you need to find are two strong trees. We all know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night with a stone or a twig in the middle of your back.
Lightweight Sleeping Bags
Tip from: Russell Summers
For compactness, buy a down bag; for warmth, buy a down bag. Use a silk or cotton liner as this saves the need for regular washing and it keeps you from getting cold if you're sleeping with the zip down in warmer weather. Recommended gear is Camping & Tramping HF1000 at $399 - this is a good quality down bag at an excellent price.
Lightweight Lights for Camping
Tip from: Russell Summers
One watt LED camp lanterns are a lightweight source of light around the campsite or in a tent. From around $50, about the size of a cellphone, they are safe with no heat or carbon dioxide gas.
