camping gear, sporting goodsCamping gear is an essential part of a successful camping trip. You can find all sorts of camping gear at sporting goods stores online and the gear will make camping so much easier. People who go backpacking know how to skinny down all their camping gear because they can only haul so much with them. They bring lightweight stoves, the minimum amount of fire starters, the lightest bedroll gear they can find, and tents, should they use them.

Car campers just have to worry about how much room they have in their vehicles to take along camping. The gear they use can be heavier and larger since weight is not a factor. They can bring more comfortable tents, too. The backpacking tents sleep two at most, and are simple shelters from wind, cold, rain, or snow. They may be simple shelters, but their designs are complicated and most of them are not as easy to set up as the car camping tents are. If you are a car camper but want to streamline your camping gear, look at backpacking gear for the latest technology in gear to help you save space, weight, and get higher performance out of what you bring along as essentials.
