What Prime Day Camping Deals Are Still Remaining?

In a word: Everything. Or at least every category of camping equipment possible. You may not find a specific model on sale since Prime Day has ended, but you can pick any camping equipment category, from the best camping tents to sleeping bags, cooking gear, lighting, bug spray, tools, you name it and you’ll be able to find awesome last-second Prime Day camping sales.

What Prime Day Camping Deals We Saw Last Year

Because Prime Day 2020 was delayed until October because of the pandemic, seasonal products such as camping equipment that most people buy in the spring or summer weren’t expected to be big sellers. Amazon did drop the prices dramatically on tents such as the highly-rated Wenzel 8-person Klondike Tent and the Coleman Camping Dome Tent with Screen Room. In both cases, however, Amazon’s prices were even lower in the early summer. Since Prime Day camping sales are going on this summer, you can expect the very best prices of the year.

Should You Buy New Camping Gear for a Last-Second Prime Day Deal?

Prime Day is your chance to grab some essential camping gear while you’re online shopping for your other outdoor essentials like these Prime Day kayak deals, and the same goes for the fact that these last-minute deals have stuck around. You’ll want to make sure you have all the critical areas covered when shopping for camping gear. Do you have a good tent? If not, you should seriously consider buying one when the prices are low. You’ll also need some warm sleeping bags and one of the best air mattresses for camping to match. Don’t skimp on these items as a good night’s sleep is critical. Your week-long camping trip will go downhill fast if you are not getting some quality shut-eye.

Once you’ve got your shelter and sleeping supplies nailed down, it’s time to purchase the smaller items. We’re talking about camping chairs for sitting around the fire, camping cooking gear for seamless cooking such as portable camping dishes and utensils, and score one of the best coolers to store your food. Don’t forget about insect repellant to keep the bugs away, either.

The list of must-have gear varies from person to person and from trip to trip. Think hard about what creature comforts you will want when you are away from home. Take it from someone who does a lot of camping — having a solar shower, cold drinks, and warm food will make your time camping so much more enjoyable.

Arc’teryx x BEAMS: The blend of Alpine tech and Tokyo style
Arc'teryx x Beams

The new Arc’teryx x BEAMS collection celebrates the brands’ 25-year collaboration and the blending of technical function with street-savvy style. The line highlights a re-creation of the 1998 Arc’teryx Theta hardshell, a Gamma softshell jacket, and Jogen bouldering pants. All come in the signature Kōyō color palette, modeled after Japan’s autumn leaves. 

I wore the Gamma Jacket and Jogen pants during the fall changeover in Virginia’s picturesque Shenandoah Valley, testing for warmth, wind resistance, and style. Here’s my take.

More than a name: Meet Eddie Bauer, the true-life explorer behind your outdoor brand
Clothing, Hat, Face

From the time I was a little man, I excitedly tugged at the shirt tails of my father and grandfather every time they left the house to do anything relatively outdoorsy. They would leave the house hauling gun cases, fishing poles, camping gear, hiking packs. The men of my life loved everything adventurous, and they would do it every chance they could. When I was big enough, I would be allowed to come with them. I got my own boots. I procured my own active wear that could resist the weather. I opened my own parka for Christmas. Not only was I now in the same boat with them, in the same tent with them, and in the same deer stand with them. I also wore the same brand as them. Eddie Bauer was their go-to, and it had become my go-to.

But what was it about that brand? What was it about the man behind the brand that became the man’s best friend in the wilderness? Well, here is what you need to know about the guy who ditched the work world to open an outdoor brand simply so he could go outdoors all the time. And made it possible for my grandfather, my father, and then me.

2027 KTM Freeride E

Austrian motorcycle company KTM’s dirt bikes have a reputation for ripping horsepower and world-title-winning performance.
