Your End-Of-Summer Adventure Gear Checklist
As the days get shorter and the nights a little cooler, early September becomes the sweet spot for adventure! It's the last chance to squeeze in a spontaneous weekend trip, and the perfect time to start planning and prepping your gear for fall outings. Whether you're chasing one more hike, setting up camp, or planning ahead, scroll on for a few of key outdoor gear essentials:
Keep Moisture Out with a Reliable Dry Bag (2 Sizes)
Waterproofing is non-negotiable when you're near lakes, rivers, or potentially unpredictable September rain. A 10L dry bag protects your clothes, food, and gear so you don't have to worry about any soggy surprises. Lightweight and easy to pack, it's the kind of item you'll use year-round, from kayaking trips to rainy fall days when camping or hiking.
Easy to Use Clip-On Cap Light (3 Colors)
As we transition from summer to fall, the days get shorter and evenings come a little earlier. A 200 lumen LED clip on cap light ensures you have hands-free illumination for activities like hiking, camping, fishing, or even evening walks when natural light fades sooner than expected.
We’ve also lanterns if you need those!
Keep it Light with our Pack-able Thermal Sleeping Pad
In summer, you might use this camping mat for comfort and a barrier from rough terrain. In fall, it doubles as essential cold protection—so one piece of gear adapts to multiple seasons. A lightweight thermal camping mat becomes especially valuable as you transition from the warm summer months into the cooler fall season, as it combines comfort, warmth, and pack-ability.
A Toast to Adventure—Cheers! (2 Sizes)
From mountain summits to quiet campsites, a stainless steel flask and funnel set adds a little tradition to the outdoors. Bring it along for a celebratory sip at the top of a trail or keep it handy for chilly nights around the fire. Small, durable, and easy to pack, it's an accessory that transitions seamlessly from summer evenings to autumn nights.
Pause for First Aid and Survival Gear Stock Up
After a summer packed with camping trips, day hikes, gold panning adventures and more, now is the perfect time to take stock of your first aid, emergency preparedness items and survival gear. Make sure you replace any items running low, so you’re ready for whatever comes next! From complete car kits to compact travel-sized first aid packs, we have everything you need to stay prepared.
Because Every Season is Campfire Season
As summer winds down and fall evenings get cooler, campfires become even more appealing! An extendable marshmallow toaster and BBQ fork makes it easy to roast marshmallows, hot dogs, or other treats. While perfect for summer s’mores nights, it’s equally great for autumn bonfires, making it a useful year-round accessory for outdoor cooking and gatherings.

Take a seat anywhere with this handy telescoping stool, designed for convenience, durability and comfort on the go. Whether you're camping, fishing, attending outdoor events, gold panning and more, this collapsible stool allows you to take a load off wherever you need it.
