Buying guides

What actually matters

Three decisions account for most of the regret we hear about. Read these before you spend anything.

Tents

Buy one size up

A "4-person" tent fits four sleeping bags edge to edge with nowhere for boots or packs. Two people in a 4-person tent is the comfortable version of the same purchase.

  • A full-coverage rainfly beats a partial one in real rain
  • Aluminum poles bend, fiberglass poles snap
  • Check the floor denier: higher lasts longer
Sleep

The pad matters more than the bag

Cold comes up from the ground, not down from the air. A pad with a higher R-value often keeps you warmer than upgrading your bag by ten degrees, and costs less.

  • Temperature ratings are survival, not comfort
  • Add about 10 °F to any rating for a realistic number
  • Down packs smaller, synthetic still works when wet
Cooking

Two burners or one canister

Car camping rewards a propane two-burner: you cook real meals for a group. Backpacking rewards a single canister stove that boils water fast and weighs less than a phone.

  • Canister stoves lose power below freezing
  • Budget one canister per two days for two people
  • A windscreen saves more fuel than a fancy burner
