Crushable Solar Lantern from Goal Zero

No one's saying we're afraid of the dark. Definitely not. But say, theoretically, we were to get "sensibly anxious" at night while camping. Lucky for us, this crushable solar lantern would be easy to pack in our bag next to the stuffed bear and copy of Goodnight Moon. Did you hear that? ๐Ÿ‘ป

RTIC Soft Pack 30 Cooler

Miles out in the sticks, your bud turns to you with sweat beading across their brow. They look you in the eye, trembling, as they say the four words that can lay waste to any fishing or camping expedition, "we're out of beer." ๐Ÿ˜ถ Smoother than Sinatra's aftershave, you reach into your hidden RTIC cooler and pull out an icy brew. ๐Ÿป Crisis averted, friendship tempered, satiety your reward.

Kelty Cosmic DriDown Sleeping Bag

Warmer than the inside of a TaunTaun and crucially less sticky, this fluffy cocoon of luxury will keep your buds cozy down to 20ยฐ Fahrenheit (-6ยฐC for those across the pond). The Kelty Cosmic is stuffed with 600-fill, hydrophobic down, compactable to the size of a water bottle, and is the gold standard of comfort for resting on uncomfortable ground. โ„๏ธ

Inflatable Car Bed

Listen, you work hard. You have a car (probably). And you love to sleep (hopefully). Have you ever tried taking a nap in your car? It's bad. Like committing yoga moves in a confined, velour-jail bad. Do yourself a favor and give the gift of a business-class ๐Ÿ›Œ in the back seat. Your bud deserves life-affirming sleep on any road trip.
