Roger Bacon Outdoors publishes field-tested camping gear reviews and category rankings for backpackers, campers and day hikers. We cover hiking backpacks and daypacks, tents and shelters, sleeping bags, quilts and pads, footwear for trail, approach and camp, coolers and camp kitchens, headlamps and camp lighting, filtration, first aid and organization gear. More than 550 reviews and guides also cover field skills: Leave No Trace principles, plant and wildlife safety, campfire cooking, and packing and maintenance. We start by mapping the market: we compare weight, packed size, denier, waterproof ratings and temperature ratings, study long-term owner feedback, and score models on durability, weight-to-warmth and value for money. Cons get the same space as pros so readers can match gear to their trip and budget. Rankings are refreshed for the 2026 season as brands release new models. Jake Thompson leads the editorial desk, a backpacker who has tested gear over thousands of trail miles in US national parks. The site is reader-supported: manufacturers never pay for a ranking.
