Camping with friends and family is great. But there’s something darn near life-changing about a solo camping trip. A fire, some dinner, and a few beers enjoyed under the canopy of tree branches and the wide open sky. Camping alone means zero conversation, zero questions, and zero answers. Which, depending on your current feelings towards your fellow humans and cohabitants, might sound like pure paradise. A weekend that’s just you, your gear, and nature. And what about that gear? This is what you need to pack when you go camping alone. I put together 15 camp essentials custom-made for your solo camp trip this weekend or next. Ranging from necessary and lifesaving to just plain cool, this list will keep you sheltered, fed, and entertained. Stock up, pack up, head out, and be supremely prepared to get away from everything this weekend.
