The Camp Kit
Everything that goes into a pack or a camp box should be made of what it is: steel, canvas, wool, and wood. If it breaks in the field, you should be able to fix it with a knife and some wire. These are the goods that meet that standard.

Stainless steel and aluminum canteens built for decades of actual use.
CAMP COOKINGBest Mess Kits
Nested aluminum and stainless cook sets for one person in the field.

Hatchets and small felling axes sized for the pack and the fire ring.

Merino and heritage wool socks that regulate temperature whether they're wet or dry.

Heavy cotton duck canvas tarps that breathe, sag under dew, and last for generations.

Cast iron sandwich presses for the campfire. The original camp breakfast and dessert.
FIRE MAKINGBest Flint and Steel Fire Starters
Ferrocerium rods and traditional flint strikers. No batteries, no fuel. Just sparks.
