Dry bags, tent stakes and towels
The small things that go in every pack: three dry bags in one pack, sixteen aluminum stakes and microfiber towels that dry fast.
Why buy dry bags as a three-pack?
Because you get every size you’ll need for $25.95: a 5-liter, a 10-liter and a 20-liter bag in lightweight ripstop, each holding its full volume once the top is rolled and sealed. They weigh 1.8, 2.2 and 3.1 ounces, and each has a waterproof D-ring to clip to a carabiner. Use them as a stuff sack for a sleeping bag, or to keep gear dry on a kayak or a boat.
What are Wise Owl tent stakes like?
Light and hard to lose. Each one is aircraft-grade aluminum in a three-sided Y-beam, 7.25 inches long and 13 grams, with a bright red pull cord. Sixteen come in a carry sack for $23.95, enough to stake out a tent, a rain tarp or a picnic mat and still have spares.
Which camping towel should I take?
The Large pack is a 24 by 48 inch microfiber towel with a 12 by 12 inch washcloth and a zippered mesh bag; it weighs 6.8 ounces and packs to 5 by 7 inches, from $15.95 in seven colors. The XL pack is a 30 by 60 inch towel with a 12 by 24 inch hand towel, at 10.8 ounces. Two of the 24 by 48 towels come as a 2-pack for $24.95.
For the lake or the beach, the microfiber beach towel is 7 by 4 feet, big enough for two people to lie on, and still weighs only 20 ounces. It rolls to 2.5 feet by 4 inches and costs $29.95.
