Kelty Grand Mesa Tent

You're 4 hours into a placid hike with your bud when it hits you: neither of you wants to leave the majestic beauty of the great outdoors for another 24-hours. Fear of the office grips your heart, but you came prepared.

You whip out this rugged and compact tent from Kelty, assembling it in minutes. The only thing left to worry about is the 😴 layout: head-to-head or head-to-toe? 🤔

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 🛌 in the back seat. Your bud deserves life-affirming sleep on any road trip.

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? 👻
