Camp Packing List

One of the many benefits of having a Mobile Human Habitat is that you no longer need to pack and unpack all your camping gear every trip! The majority of your camping gear can stay housed in your habitat, making it easy to just grab clothes and food, and hit the road when adventure calls!

For first timers – and those who want to make sure they aren’t forgetting anything – we’ve come up with a handy camp packing list to help you get ready for a season of adventures in your habitat.
