The snow melt is running into rivers, giving the grass its first glimpse of sunlight in months. It’s warm enough to trade your down parka in for a light jacket, and, any day now, wildflowers will light up the meadows. It’s spring, people. Who else is amped to camp?

A comfy air mattress can make roughing it feel a little less rough, although wrangling one inside a tent that’s a little too small for your queen size bed can be a huge pain. And that’s exactly the situation that inspired Dan Robertson to create the Aesent: a tent with a built-in air mattress on its base that’s always the perfect size.

The Mola Headlamp by Snow Peak compensates for the difference between your head movements and eye movements, providing a beam of light that follows your line of sight, not just the direction your forehead is pointed.

At one point in time, camping was truly about getting away from it all and only relying on nature for everything you needed. But these days, most new camping gear pertains to keeping your smartphone charged. Not Francesco Faccin’s Re-Fire kit, though. It’s designed to make camping a little more rugged again—by letting you start a fire using nothing but wood and elbow grease.

There’s nothing quite like roasting a meal you just caught while you’re braving the great outdoors. It’s an experience made all the better with a campfire grill that doesn’t feel like a sack of bricks in your backpack. And while designer Roee Magdassi’s Stakes grill doesn’t exist just yet, we’re hoping at least one manufacturer sees the brilliance of this design.

When shopping for that special someone who loves the great outdoors, it’s easy to be overwhelmed. There are so many companies and so many items with so many different features that it’s hard to know where to start. That’s why we thought we’d kickstart this party with some of our favorite camping gear. We hope H.D. Thoreau would be down.

Under most circumstances, the combination of trees and fire would be the stuff nightmares are made of—or dreams, for the pyromaniacs among us. But in eight days, the brilliant minds behind BioLite are going to be harnessing the power of fire with a giant, custom-built CampStove a full 200 times larger than its commercial counterpart, all to light up one glorious Christmas tree.
