Summer is almost officially here: the weather is nice and the kids are counting down until the last day of school. June is going to be gone in a blink and that means it’s almost time to get back to basics, leave the world behind - and go camping.
Whether you’re here because you’re an avid camper and looking for some camping hacks, or you’re hoping to turn your camping into glamping, I’m happy to share that wool is here to help!
Using wool while camping has always felt intentional to me since it is a completely natural and homegrown textile to use while connecting more with nature. But as a mom with a busy family who love the outdoors, I wanted to make sure that any wool products are easy to take along and also serve a purpose. With the durable and natural qualities of wool, I think you’ll be surprised you’ve been missing these items in your pack.
Why is wool so good for camping? Wool is:
- Moisture wicking (think dewy mornings or un-forecasted rain)
- Temperature regulating: keeps you cool in the heat and warm in the cold
- Easy to clean
- Comfortable to sleep on (no more waking up on a deflated air mattress)

Wool is one of the most durable and simple materials, a truly natural element that humans have used for centuries. Where better to enjoy its qualities than in nature itself.
Happy camping,
