The Camping -Hiking- Mountaiineering category brings together the essentials to build a reliable camp and move safely on the trail. You’ll find 3- and 4-season tents, sleeping bags and pads with the right thermal performance, compact cook systems for quick setups, LED lighting for night and bad weather, plus hydration and portable power solutions. Choices are tuned to Greek conditions: wind (meltemi), humidity, sharp temperature swings and mixed terrain. From day hikes to multi-day trekking, assemble a lightweight, organized and dependable system that just works.
How to choose the right kit
Start with the use case, then lock in the technical specs.
- Tents: 3-season for spring–autumn, 4-season for snow/high wind. Check hydrostatic head (mm), double-wall construction, ventilation and aluminum poles. Tunnel designs maximize space; geodesic frames excel in strong winds.
- Sleep system: Pick a sleeping bag by comfort/limit (EN/ISO) and a pad with suitable R-value. For Greek autumn in the mountains, a mid R-value pad and a solid 3-season bag cover most needs.
- Cookware & stoves: Lightweight aluminum/stainless sets and a stable stove matched to fuel you can source easily. Add wind protection and a reliable igniter.
- Hydration: A 2–3L hydration bladder with hose for drinking on the move, or a wide-mouth bottle/thermos when you want easy refills and insulation.
- Lighting: Headlamp for hands-free use; handheld for throw. Compare lumens, beam distance, runtime and IPX water resistance.
- Power & solar: PD/USB-C power banks for fast charging; a portable power station for multi-day trips. Pair with a solar panel (MPPT controller improves real-world yield).
- Trekking poles & movement: Aluminum or carbon poles with anti-shock options and cork/foam grips reduce knee load on climbs and descents.
- Carry & organization: Backpacks with supportive harness, hip belt and ventilated back panel; MOLLE/PALS for modular add-on pouches.
For low-altitude summer trips, prioritize ventilation, a light sleeping bag and quick-dry fabrics. For autumn–winter, wind and rain take the lead: consider a sturdier tent, higher R-value pad and proper rain protection for packs and layers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
3- or 4-season tent for Greece?
For most routes, a well-ventilated 3-season tent with adequate hydrostatic head is enough. If you often camp at high altitude or expect snow/strong winds, move to a 4-season for extra rigidity and protection.
How do I choose a sleeping bag for expected temperatures?
Use “comfort” as the realistic benchmark and “limit” as the lower edge. Pair the bag with a pad that has the right R-value—the insulation under you does half the job.
What does R-value mean on sleeping pads?
It measures how well the pad blocks ground cold: higher R-value means more insulation. For autumn in Greek mountains, a mid R-value serves most hikers; for winter, choose higher or stack foam plus inflatable.
How many lumens and which IPX level do I need in a light?
For trails, a 200–400-lumen headlamp with balanced beam and runtime works well. IPX4–IPX6 covers rain; for severe wet conditions, aim higher where possible.
Hydration bladder or bottle for day hikes?
A 2–3L bladder keeps you drinking without stops and centers weight in the pack—great for ascents/running. Bottles/thermos are easier to fill and keep temperature, ideal for city transitions, car access and planned breaks.
