Stone Glacier SkyDome 6 Person Tent


Stone Glacier SkyDome 6P Tent
Wall-tent comfort at a third of the weight; that's what this six-person tent delivers. Larger, heavy-duty poles, heavyweight nylon side walls and a sturdy octagonal design allow it to withstand near hurricane winds and hold a heck of a snow load. A full-cover rainfly with vestibule keeps the interior dry, and when you need to warm up quick, a built-in stove jack allows you to fire up a wood stove (not included) with a 3- or 5-inch pipe. Multiple air vents, a 6-foot, 4-inch max height and a removable floor round out this truly versatile, go-anywhere tent. MSRP: $2,750; stoneglacier.com.

Klymit KSB Sleeping Bag and Sleeping Pad


Klymit KSB Sleeping Bag and Pad

Perhaps the most comfortable mummy-style sleeping bags available today, KSB bags from Klymit are built to stretch and flex to provide the warmth you need without making you feel like you’re tied to train tracks. A large footbox allows your feet to move freely in every available temperature rating from the early-season KSB 35 to the dead-of-winter KSB 0. Every bag is adjustable for length and sports 650 fill-power insulation, anti-snag zippers and a compression stuff sack. Add a lightweight inflatable sleeping pad, such as the durable Insulated Static V Luxe SL, and you're guaranteed a good night's rest. MSRP: $179.95-$299.95 bag, $139.95 pad; klymit.com.

Camp Chef Alpine Heavy Duty Cylinder Cooking System and VersaTop Grill


Camp Chef Alpine Heavy Duty Cylinder Cooking System & VersaTop 2X Grill

All parts, including 10 feet of 5-inch stovepipe, fit inside the barrel for storage. If propane is your game, the VersaTop 2X Flat Top Grill is a portable, two-burner system with a large, non-stick griddle. And if you’re looking to create hunting buddies for life, the VersaTop Grill is compatible with Camp Chef's 16-inch accessories like the Artisan Pizza Oven and Grill Box (sold separately).
