Go Camping

Take your friendship into the wild and enjoy a pleasant stay in nature.

Share With A Bud

Buck 110 Hunter Knife

As classicly American as Babe Ruth eating a Baby Ruth, the Buck knife has been slicing up camping staples from jerky to sticks for over 60 years. Forged from rugged 420HC steel and wrapped in a wealth of brass and ebony, your bud will thank you for gifting them the only thing that could still be handsome after a three-day trip in the woods. 🏕

GoTenna Mesh

How do you find your bud when you're deep in the Amazonian rainforest, separated by five klicks of untamed jungle and big cats?

Like a modern Walkie Talkie, the new GoTenna Mesh lets you stay connected in the wild and send texts and GPS coordinates up to 4 miles away without a cell network. Survive, together!

Mountain Backpacker Medical Kit

Avoid a Revenant-style death 🐻 and protect your bud from whatever challenges Mother Nature throws their way. Adventure Medical Kits are to first aid as Ossetra caviar are to fish eggs, and the Mountain Backpacker edition has everything you and a friend need to survive a four-day foray in the wilderness. Safety first!

Husqvarna 13" Wooden Hatchet

It's no secret that we love Husqvarna at Best Buds, due to their high-quality Swedish steel and hickory handles. They're also handsome as hell. Next time you go camping, give your bud the gift of fresh chopped wood and a hatchet that'll last a lifetime. 🌲

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? 🤔

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? 👻

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 20° Fahrenheit (-6°C 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. ❄️

ZipStitch Laceration Kit

Repair your bud! ZipStitch is perfect for the friend you love who finds themselves in dangerous situations. In a pinch, the ZipStich enables nearly anyone to expertly treat an open cut that can't be closed with bandages. Surgical-quality wound closure on-the-go! Save the limb of the pal who makes you look cool 😎 for knowing them.
