REI releases upgraded Half Dome 2 Tent with new features for better camping
REI releases brand new collection featuring their #1 best selling tent
REI Half Dome 2 Tent 45th Anniversary

REI is well-known for great camping gear, and one of the world's personal favorites is the Co-op Half Dome 2 Tent, which was originally released in 2001 and has been a favorite ever since. This lightweight backpacking tent is well loved for its extra headroom, easy setup, and thoughtful design. But for their 45th anniversary, REI released an updated version for the spring along with their brand-new collection of clothing and gear.

The new Half Dome 2 Tents retail for $329 and include a new ripstop rain fly to protect from the elements and a see-through window to ensure that your pole is situated correctly. Each of the three sizes has been updated to increase usable shoulder and headroom, and the breathable fabric walls have been adjusted for increased protection against dust and sand during windy conditions.

REI’s Traverse is an all-new bear canister that’s tough on bears, easy on humans
The three-piece modular design expands as you need it and is certified bear-resistant to keep your food safe.
Man camping with an REI Traverse modular bear canister.

Protecting yourself and your food against bears is a perennial problem for backpackers, campers, and overlanders in the backcountry (and even the front country, in some areas). The solution has long been traditional bear-proof canisters. But they're typically oversized and overengineered, making them hard to open for not just bears but people, too. REI sought to remedy both of these problems with the all-new Traverse bear canister.

The Traverse combines two clever solutions into a single canister, making it arguably the most unique bear-proof canister on the market. First, it features a modular, three-piece design, including a base, a lid, and an optional extension piece that goes between the two to provide even more capacity. For shorter trips where space is at a premium, combine only the base and lid for 6.75 liters of protected food storage. Add the extender into the middle to increase that storage space to 11.25 liters on longer outings.

The ultimate car camping gear list for modern adventurers
From rocking camp chairs to hydration packs, here's what to pack for a car camping trip
Car camping gear list

Car camping has got to be one of America's favorite summer pastimes. Roasted marshmallows, telling ghost stories by the fire, and that good fresh air never gets old. And you can have all that fun without having to hike to some remote camping site. The beauty of car camping is you can just drive right to your campsite! That being said, car camping isn't the most comfortable experience without the right gear. Here's my ultimate car camping gear list for modern adventurers, as well as some of my favorite product recommendations that are sure to make your camping trip more comfortable.
Shelter essentials for car camping

Tent
If you're actually planning to sleep in your car, this one might not matter to you, but I personally prefer a tent. Choosing one that's easy to set up means more time for outdoor adventures, so I recommend something like the , which comes in one and two-person options. This model has a handy string that you pull from the top, and like magic, it all comes together. You'll still have to hammer in your guy lines, but I've been able to put this one together in about three minutes.
Rainfly
Some tents come with a rainfly, so make sure that you pack it with you, just in case! I like to keep the rainfly folded and wrapped around my collapsed tent so it fits snugly in the carrying case. That way, if it starts to rain (as it often does here in Seattle), I'll be dry.
Tarps
Tarps are super handy while camping. You can use them as ground sheets to protect the underside of your tent, or you can hang them up to have shade and shelter from an oncoming sprinkle.
Extras
Here are a few other extras that I like to keep on hand, including some of the National Park Service's 10 essentials:
