Common questions

How do I organize gear in my car for camping?

Group items into labelled bins or duffels by use, such as kitchen, sleep and tools, and pack the ones you need first near the back.

Is a camping cot better than a pad?

Cots are more comfortable and keep you off cold ground but take more space. Pads are warmer when insulated and pack smaller.
