It's better then sex, food, and fun. Though you can also do all three of things while camping! The only thing you can’t do camping is be on your phone. If you fuck around on your phone while camping you should not have gone camping! The only exception is to put on music. But if you go on Twitter while camping you should genuinely go fuck yourself. Because camping is all about being free. Disconnecting from civilization and reconnecting with nature. For all the wondrous things humanity has created, we still spent 95% of our existence as a species fucking around in the wood. Climbing trees. Swimming in rivers. Sleeping under the stars.

The enemy of every camping trip is mosquitoes. They are the one creature on this planet that should undeniably die forever and fuck off. We wish nothing but the worst for every mosquito on this planet. That’s one of the big ups for camping in the winter - no mosquitoes!

Some of our best camping trips tend to start off as our worst. One time we went just the two of us outside Vancouver and it pissed rain the whole two days. So we spent most of our time putting up a tarp and finding bits of dry wood hidden under logs to start a fire. Sounds awful? It was amazing. Cause we didn’t have to worry about our next movie coming out, the next product Houseplant was gonna sell or teaching my (Evan’s) kids how to wipe their asses (I still haven’t got to it… ). All that mattered was a fire, rolling a joint, and cooking some hot dogs.

The most important element of camping besides chilling out and being one with nature is your GEAR.

An unequipped camper is a fucked camper. Like when it pissed rain, if we weren’t prepared it’d have been a nightmare. You need your tarps, your tents, your mosquito spray, fire starters, etc. We’re proud to add to the oeuvre of camping gear available to campers everywhere with a few or our Houseplant products.

Top of the list, the STACK LANTERN. We took it camping to Kern River in California recently with a few friends and it was the corner stone of our trip. The charge lasts for hours, it’s easy to re-charge, the light it emits is beautiful and warm and compliments a fire (a lot of lanterns are harsh dogshit LED lights, this one is LED but with a casing that makes it like a warm hug from a friend) and it’s got a stash spot for joints, lighters, and rolling papers, and an ashtray on top, PLUS (that’s right! THere’ smore!) a leather strap for carrying it around. And boy did we carry it around! To the camp fire, to the rock, at the rock, back from the rock! We didn’t take it in the canoe or jump off a cliff with it, because though it’s dope, it’s not waterproof (YET????).

In second place is the CARRY CASE, which has it all and is great for bringing on a canoe. It’s super easy to carry and has everything you need for hikes, boat expeditions, and just rolling up joints in general. Ashtray/lighter/stash jar/grinders. All you need is the weed and you’re good to go.
