Your Camp, Your Pace: Gear for Days Outdoors

Camping gear should match your travel style. If you’re staying several nights at a campground by a lake, comfort is often the priority. If you’re moving to a new spot every day and carrying everything yourself, weight and pack size become more important. So start by planning your trip: How will you get there, how many people are traveling with you, and what nighttime temperatures do you expect?

Coordinate your tent, sleeping arrangements, and outdoor kitchen

A well-planned camp consists of components that work together. The tent needs enough space for people and gear. A sleeping bag and sleeping pad complement each other: one keeps body heat in, while the other limits heat loss to the ground. For the kitchen, consider whether you just want to heat water or cook full meals. This will determine your needs for a stove, pots, and fuel.

• Transportation: Check the total weight and pack volume before planning any additional gear.
• Weather: Take rain, wind, and cool nights into account, even during the Swiss summer.
• Space: Choose a tent size and sleeping pads that fit the number of travelers.
• Supplies: Determine where you’ll get drinking water and what cooking options are permitted.

Add camping gear as needed

Organize your packing list by sleeping, eating, lighting, and hygiene. This way, you’ll spot any missing essentials and avoid duplicating gear. Start with camping tents and add suitable sleeping pads. Then, carefully select the items that will make your stay more comfortable. Explore camping gear with your next trip in mind and put together your camp step by step.
