Choosing the right outdoor gear: the easy way with Freetime packs
Choosing the right equipment can quickly become complicated. Tent, sleeping bag, backpack… you have to think about weight, comfort, durability and budget. To avoid mistakes and save time, Freetime has designed a range of ready-to-use packs , adapted to each type of adventure.
1. Identify your real needs
Before buying, you need to clearly define the type of activity you practice:
- Occasional camping or family holiday → comfort, space, ease of assembly.
- Hiking or trekking → lightness, resistance, compactness.
- Van trip, festival or nature weekend → practicality and quick-to-install equipment.
This step is essential to choose the right package without unnecessary over-equipment.
2. Freetime packages: a turnkey solution
Freetime packages were created to simplify the choice of equipment. Each pack includes a tent, a sleeping bag and a backpack that are perfectly compatible with each other — in terms of weight, volume and use.
The goal: to allow everyone, beginner or regular practitioner, to set off equipped without making mistakes.

3. The tent: your main shelter
The first selection criterion remains the tent . It must be suitable for your camping conditions:
- Lightweight and compact tents for hikers or travelers on foot.
- More spacious and robust tents for fixed camping or extended stays.
- Self-supporting or semi-geodesic mounting for greater stability and simplicity.
