Hiking Camping Gear Store

Thank you for visiting Hiking-Camping-World.com -your ultimate destination for camping gear, camping equipment, hiking gear, hiking equipment and camping accessories such as camping furniture (camping chairs, camping tables), camping knife, camping toilet and camping shower or hiking accessories such as hydration pack, binoculars (swarozski, bushnell, nikon, and other great brands), walking poles (we really recommend walking poles especially if you plan on hiking long distance. You find that it's has more uses than just for walking.)

One of the most important camping gear is the camping tent. We have a huge collection of camping tents to choose from whether you need a 1 person tent, 2 person tent or any number of people. For the soloist who prefer to rough it out in bivvy sacks, we also have those. But the most popular tent for camping especially for families is the dome tent because you get a lot of headroom which the family will appreciate.

For hikers, the most important hiking gear next to hiking boots(you can combine them with gaiters for better protection from the elements) is the hiking backpack. We recommend that you use an internal frame backpack as opposed to external frame backpacks. For hiking socks, there are a couple of options. Most people go for wool socks specifically Smartwool socks made from fine Merino wool, or Coolmax. Both keep your feet dry from the sweat and condensation of your feet. The waterproof Sealskinz socks on the other hand keep you dry from both inside and outside.

Since you'll spending your time outdoors, you'll need some good outdoor clothing. Parkas are great in keeping you warm. The North Face jackets are very popular because they consistently perform very well. Some still even use ponchos for rain gear. 

For cooking you'll need camping stoves. There are propane stoves, liquid fuel stove and multi fuel stoves. For some ideas on how to cook and what to cook we also have books on camping cooking and camping recipes. Don't forget about the camping food.

Be sure also that you lights for night time. Headlamps, camping lanterns and flaslights will help you see at night. LED flashlights, headlamps or lanterns last a lot longer than incandescent bulb lights.

When you're done having fun and you're tired you'll need some sleeping bags. For the best in warmth and comfort, go for the down sleeping bag. Synthetic sleeping bags are a cheap alternative and they keep you warm even when wet. An air mattress or even just a sleeping pad will insulate you from the cold. We prefer to use self inflating pads. If you're camping in winter or in the cold mountains, sleep with a balaclava or a beanie or just cover your head with a shirt.

Speaking of mountains be sure you're wearing sunglasses during the day because the sun's rays at high altitudes are less filtered and can do some permanent damage to your eyes. Better yet, get some goggles. Crampons and ice axes can also be very usely.

That's almost all of your camping gear needs we covered so far. You can probably derive a camping checklist out of this.
