Aside from the basics, mine are a pillow (I spent years camping and backpacking without a proper pillow, but then I found a small comfortable one like this that I love https://www.atmosphere.ca/en/pdp/sea-to-summit-aeros-premium-large-pillow-lime-70336192f.332846357.html), also a headlamp and my Outdoor Research Gore-tex rain hat (another item I went years without, but I HATE being wet and this hat keeps me very dry and much happier). -Cailynn
I’m curious about your camping checklist, what are your top three items for camping?

My must haves other than the basics (tent, axe, food, etc.) are a hammock (I have an older version of this one: https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6011-543/double-hammock-with-tree-strap?colour=Blue+Suede), campfire chair and a headlamp! -Annalise
