Ok gang… here’s my go-to solo camping kit. It is by far my favorite and I believe the most comfortable way to sleep while camping. Full review story at GearJunkie.com.

Haven XL in morning sun with the fly aside
When the weather is good, just flop the rain fly to one side and get a nice view.

It’s roomy in here! With the fly flipped over to one side while waking up in the morning.
Haven XL with fly guyed out and open
In zero to low wind conditions, the rain fly guys out nicely to show the view of the amazing place you’ve set up.

Hang it out: drying out my swimsuit and paddling gloves while on a 5-day sea kayaking trip in Maine.
Haven XL in fog
Even with lots of rain or moisture blowing through, the Haven rain fly keeps everything inside nice and dry.
Toggles for rain fly
If the weather gets bad, just baton down the fly using these handy toggles.
Haven XL suspended over the lush forest floor
The cut of the fabric and the push of the spreader bars create a little bit of camber that flattens out perfectly for level sleep.

There are some beautiful places to camp. This is on an island off the coast of Maine.
Haven XL connected to tree
The Haven comes with sturdy carabiners. Here I’m using the Whoopie Slings for a little more reach between wider spaced trees.
Haven XL set up on the ground
Versatile: if there aren’t any anchors (trees, etc.)available, just have a set of trekking poles and some ground that will take stakes and you’re good to go!
