The common excuse for not going camping is, “I don’t have a tent.” Getting outdoors for the weekend can do wonders to clear your head and reset your batteries, so buying some camping gear is a worthwhile investment. This Coleman SunDome 3 Person tent will comfortably sleep three campers on it’s 7′x7′ floor area. It only weighs 8 pounds, making it easy to carry along to your campsite if some hiking is required. It’s two pole dome design allows for a ten minute setup – so you’ll be able to quickly create a shelter if rain clouds start threatening your adventure.
After being rained on for a week straight, it dawned on me that a rain jacket may be a good investment. This Patagonia Torrentshell Jacket is completely waterproof and won’t weigh you down – making it perfect for rainy spring weather. Pit zips with storm flaps allow you to stay cool, dry, and comfortable in warmer weather or while being active outdoors while hiking, camping, or etc. Best of all it rolls up into it’s own pocket making it super portable for those “is really going to rain?” kind of days. Available in a ton of colors.
