Notes About Womens Camping Equipment

Womens camping equipment doesn’t differ greatly from what men would use. However, women may need to pay more attention to things that men tend to take for granted.

For example, women tend to get cold faster than men. We see it all the time in offices and the same is true in campsites. Consider investing in high quality insulation for your jackets, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, liners, and tents.

Women may want their packs to be lighter for ease of carrying these across long hikes. This means thinking carefully about each item and their utility. Sometimes you may have to spend more for lighter materials as well.

Another consideration is outdoor safety. Women should make sure that they bring a map and compass if there are winding roads and unmarked trails. They should also bring a whistle and a fully charged phone for emergencies.
