Camping & Hiking

Camping is a great way to escape from the fast pace of the developed world and enjoy the great outdoors while relaxing and enjoying the company of family and friends. When you’re hiking you can reconnect with nature and get some healthy exercise at the same time. You may just enjoy a leisurely afternoon hike on established trails in a state park, or your idea of fun may be challenging yourself exploring untouched wilderness areas. Base camping combines camping with hiking – you can set up camp and then explore many areas without having to lug a lot of gear around. But just because you’ve left civilization behind doesn’t mean you have to “rough it”. We have the camping gear that will let you chill out in comfort and style, including spacious tents, comfortable sleeping bags and chairs, and gourmet cookware. And the hiking gear we’ve gathered for your selection will make all your treks fun, safe and memorable.

Establishing shelter is the first priority when camping, but you get much more than protection with our tents. Whether you need a compact, lightweight tent you can carry on your back, an 8-person cabin tent for the family, or even an automotive that can be set up in your truck bed or attached to the hatch opening of your SUV, we have the tent for you. We offer tents for every season and every capacity, in traditional A-frame and dome styles, and some with features like awnings and screened areas. We also have mosquito nets and insect screens for protection from annoying bugs, canopies and shelters that are ideal for setting up over tables and gathering areas, beach shades and beach umbrellas, and tent accessories like stakes, rope and tarps.

Unless you like to go rustic and use stumps and logs, you’re going to need camping furniture for sitting, eating and relaxing. We offer a wide range of comfortable chairs that fold up to a compact size, and many include features like cup holders, storage pouches, and side tables. And our stools are so portable you can use them at the campsite or tote them on a hike for when you need to take a break. In our table selection we have small fabric tables, metal folding tables that will accommodate family meals, tables with integral cup holders or benches, and some that come with an umbrella. For the ultimate in classic outdoor relaxation, you can’t beat a hammock. Go for the traditional style that hangs between a couple of trees or a hammock and stand combo that can be set up anywhere.

Camping doesn’t mean you have to eat bland and boring food. With our selection of coolers and camp kitchen gear you can be well stocked with the equipment to make delicious meals. We have hard and soft-sided coolers in a range of capacities, propane stoves, portable gas and charcoal grills, and of course all the cookware, dinnerware and tools needed to prepare and consume your culinary creations. If you don’t like to cook, we offer a large variety of delicious camping foods that are ready to eat in minutes – just add water and they prepare right in the pouch. Or, if you just want to enjoy a meal outdoors, we have picnic baskets, picnic totes and picnic blankets. Sooner or later nature calls, especially after a sumptuous feast, but when it does there’s no need to dig a latrine. Here you’ll find basic and flush-type portable toilets and easy to erect privacy shelters. We also have camp showers, water heaters and shower shelters.

We have the gear for the journey whether you’re hiking from base camp, out for the day or for several days. We offer daypacks and backpacks in several capacities that are lightweight, with multiple compartments, comfortable straps, and made with durable materials, as well as waterproof cases to protect small valuables. Our trekking poles are made of lightweight aluminum or carbon fiber, with comfortable cork or foam grips, and they’re ideal for providing hikers with support and stability on the trail. Hiking is a strenuous activity and you must remain hydrated, especially on warm days. We have hydration packs that allow you to sip on the go, canteens and travel bottles, and if you run out of drinking water, we offer germicidal tablets that can be used in an emergency to disinfect water. Even when you’re in the middle of nowhere, you’ll always know where you are and where you’re headed with one our hand-held GPS units. We have units that will enable you to navigate by map or compass, create waypoints and routes and record track logs, and download geocaches.

When night falls, there’s no better place to relate the day’s adventures than sitting around a roaring campfire, and we have the camp shovels to create a fire pit and axes to chop kindling. You’ll be able to light up the night at your campsite thanks to our great selection of camp lighting. We have super bright LED lanterns, some with rechargeable battery packs, and traditional fuel lanterns and lantern accessories including fuel, mantles, and lantern stands and hangers. And when it’s time to turn in, you can get a good night’s sleep thanks to our great selection of bedding products. We have sleeping bags that will keep you warm down to the coldest temperatures, air mattresses and sleeping pads so you don’t get poked in the ribs by rocks and tree roots, and cots, blankets and pillows.
