The Weekend Nomad is for the outdoor enthusiast who doesn’t have enough time to go camping or hiking as often as they’d like. When the trips are few, the gear and the planning matter more.
What you’ll find here
- Gear guides that explain what to look for before you buy, so you choose the right tent, stove, sleeping bag or boots the first time.
- How-to articles on navigation, campsite setup, fire-lighting, packing and staying safe outdoors.
- Camp recipes you can cook on the fire or the stove.
- Sailing notes from SV Soft Touch.
- A free camping checklist so nothing gets left at home.
How the guides are written
Guides compare products using manufacturer specifications, published reviews and the features that matter for the way you’ll use the gear. Where a guide has not been based on hands-on testing, it says so.
