Google review of our store

Six pieces for your first night in a tent

This kit covers one person's first night out, at a park campground or a campsite you hike to. It holds a sleeping bag made for nights as cold as -10°C, a foam pad, a stove with its own pot, a headlamp, a filter for lake water and a tent. The stove needs a fuel canister, sold separately. The tent sleeps two, so a friend with a bag and pad can share it. Already have a pad or a stove? Untick it before you add the kit.
