The ultimate camping essentials checklist for 2022
We’ve been cooped up for too long, people. 2 years too long. So what better way to get out of the house than to get out of the house and also sleep outside of the house?
Yes, camping has been a staple of humanity since caveman times, when they had to camp because houses weren’t invented yet. But, now that we have the technology to make our camping experience better than sleeping in a wet cave, how are we supposed to know what the latest and greatest camping supplies are to make our trip a memorable one?
We here at Wise Owl have heard your cries for answers, and shall provide. We’ve got the skivvy on all of the camping essentials that have hit the top of the list for 2022 - from tents to blankets to tent footprints (what is that, you ask? We’ll get there.) to hammocks to accessories, and everything in between.
So gather around the campfire, young campers, as we give you the ultimate camping list of must-haves for outdoor living in 2022!
THE ULTIMATE CAMPING ESSENTIALS CHECKLIST
Those of us who don’t know what to bring camping or where to start need look no further. This is the ultimate list that has everything you’ll ever need to thrive outdoors in a chic, comfortable, and cost-effective way. If you see anything missing, don’t tell us, because we worked really hard on this and don’t take criticism well.
Let’s get started!
2022’S MOST POPULAR CAMPING ESSENTIALS
1. A CABIN TENT
Cabin tents have shot up in popularity this year, and for good reason! These kinds of tents are spacious, durable, and most importantly, extremely easy to set up. Cabin tents have built-in rods, so you don’t have to stress out about which rods go where and if you’re missing one. This Coleman cabin tent is a personal favorite of ours because it’s waterproof, roomy, and comes in different sizes - which is why it’s on the top of our list of essential camping supplies for 2022!
2. A TENT FOOTPRINT
More and more people are realizing just how important these often overlooked little tarps are. Tent footprints are an absolute necessity for beginning and pro campers alike! They protect the floor of your tent from sharp or harmful objects, they keep your tent clean, and help to keep your tent insulated in the cold! We recommend adding this versatile Wise Owl tent footprint to your list of camping essentials this year for sure - comes with all the tools needed, plus a useful carrying case.
3. AN ALL-SEASONS SLEEPING BAG
Why buy a bunch of sleeping bags for each season like a goon when you can save money for other camping supplies by getting a sleeping bag for 3 seasons in 1?? We can’t think of a good reason. This insulated 3-season sleeping bag is an absolute must for 2022’s turbulent, global warming-influenced weather (what a depressing, dystopian sentence. Sorry. We all have jobs we’re trying to do. This is mine). It traps heat in the cold, releases it in the heat, and is totally waterproof.
4. AN INSULATED BLANKET
Another camping essential for the colder seasons! This Wise Owl insulated blanket is perfect for snuggling up by the campfire, or staying warm in your cabin tent. We also have an amazing picnic blanket/tarp too, which is a great solution for those who hate getting mud on their butt when they sit down.
5. A FIRST AID KIT
Anything can happen in the great outdoors. No laws. No rules. Just survival and isolation. So, safety first, ladies and germs!
This first aid kit rules, and should be on everyone’s camping list. It’s easy to carry, has 32 different medical items for every kind of emergency, and looks exactly like you’d expect it to, which is oddly satisfying. It kind of looks like an accessory someone cosplaying as a nurse would have. Read More...
