Winter Camping Kit List


Take your tiny home with you this winter

Surviving snowy camping might seem a bit too Bear Grylls when you’ve never done it before. But fear not! The Alpkit Official Winter Camping Kit List is here. Keep warm this winter with our super strong mountain tents, toasty 4-season sleeping bags and wearable duvets (otherwise known as insulated jackets). This is our list of the essential gear you’ll need to keep your water, food, and feet (!) from freezing on your first winter camping trip.

Winter Camping Tents

Function first. That’s our Alpkit DNA. Our 3- and 4-season tents are made for winter camping. They’re comfortable. Practical. And they keep you dry, warm and safe when there are snow dumps, strong winds and mountains to be summited.
