The best campers are the ones who…
…can pitch a tent in the dark without glowing guy ropes. Produce the perfect, char-spotted crust on a damper. Pack their boot like Ben. Van-life like Lauren.
But what about the gear that gets them through?
In their 100th episode of the Snowys Camping Show, Ben and Lauren discuss the top 10 best-of-the-bests. From touring tents and camp lights, to stoves, swags, and gear for the hikes – they’ve got 99 episodes, but this is THE one!
