Frequently Asked Questions
The core is a tent, a sleeping bag, a sleeping pad, a stove with a pot, and a way to treat water. Add a head torch, a camp towel and cutlery. Choose the bag by comfort rating and the pad by R-value, because the two work together to keep you warm.
Hiking gear is chosen for weight and packed size. Think a sub-1 kg tent like the Nemo Hornet or a 395 g Tensor Trail pad. Car camping gear trades weight for comfort, such as the stand-up Aurora Highrise tent, the Roamer self-inflating mattress or a high-back Satellite chair.
It depends on the gear, but here's a light Nemo example. The Hornet Elite OSMO 1P tent is 657 g, the Pulse quilt 500 g and the Tensor Trail pad 395 g in Regular. That's about 1.55 kg for shelter and sleep before stove, food and water.
How to choose camping gear
Build it in the order it matters.How to choose camping gear
Build it in the order it matters.
1. Shelter: a tent sized for your group and how far you'll carry it.
2. Sleep: a bag on its comfort rating plus a pad on its R-value. They work as a pair.
3. Kitchen: a stove, a pot and cutlery.
4. Water: a way to treat it.
Weigh it all. For hiking, the big three (tent, bag, pad) are where the kilos go. For car camping, comfort can win.

Backcountry camping gear for Australian conditions
Camp in Queensland heat and the coast, and a light bag and a Non-Insulated pad do the job. Head into the Aussie Alps season (Jun–Sep) or Tassie outside summer, and the pad's R-value matters as much as the bag. Freestanding tents make life easier on timber platforms and hard ground.
