Tips to make your camping gear last longer

Don’t fold your sleeping bag. Never use detergent to clean your tent. Clean your hydration pack with hot—but not boiling—water.

Usually just a few minutes of TLC in between camps and hikes can help keep your gear in good shape. Here’s how we recommend cleaning, storing, and reconditioning your outdoor essentials so that they’ll be ready for your next trek.

For your summer spent outdoors

Our pick for best hiking boots, the Salomon Quest 4 Gore-Tex, next to a headlamp and insect repellent spray.

Lace up

A solid pair of hiking boots will protect your feet and stabilize your ankles across many types of terrain. (Our top recommendation is on sale!)

Snooze under the stars

Our favorite car-camping sleeping bag is as close as you can get to tucking into your own bed outdoors without bringing a set of sheets, blankets, and your mattress to a campsite.

A tent to keep you comfortable

Even if you’re new to camping and not seeking any extreme-weather adventures, you’ll still need a tent that can withstand whatever the elements decide to throw your way.

A peek at what we like from the sale

The Coleman Cascade 222 2-Burner Camping Stove.

For on-the-go meals

Deal price: $128 | Street price: $170

The Coleman Cascade Camping Stove offers a lot of control with its range of cooking temperatures. Compared with the competition, it boils water a bit faster while still providing a gentle flame that lets you cook foods delicately.
