How to be a homeless camper (part 2)

On the earlier post I mentioned that I would be sharing my gear with you, in case you'd be interested in acquiring some of it as well. Store pages will be linked. I'll try to keep it by order of importance:

The tent

TENDA DE CAMPISMO - 2 SECONDS - FRESH&BLACK - 3 pessoas 

Our mattress

COLCHÃO DE CAMPISMO INSUFLÁVEL AIR BASIC | 2 PESSOAS - LARGURA 140 CM 

Note: You will of course want to either have sleeping bags or some good bed sheets to use with this. We already had some we could use, so we didn't buy any. 

Electric pump might be very handy to have if you're getting yourself inflatable stuff... try not to go the cheap route with the manual ones, it ain't worth the effort.

Our stove

Fogão de Campismo Xtra Smart 

Camping blanket (this is especially useful for making the tent's ground more comfortable and prevent some of the cold from getting into the tent at night)

 Manta Confort XL para Piquenique e Campismo - 210 x 170 cm 

Solar panel 

 

Hi power car lighter charger

Hi power USB-C Cable - if you are charging stuff with your car engine on idle, maximum efficiency becomes pretty important... after all, every second you have it turned on, you're spending gas... which isn't exactly cheap. Also, this will help you keep devices that require higher energy working (like the Steam Deck or certain lightweight laptops)

 

(tip: if you need to charge an iPhone or iPad, just use cables from reliable brands, preferably MFI certified)

Oh and you're probably going to want something that can filter water, so you don't have to be relying on bottles from the supermarket... so here you go:

Water bottle with filter

  

If you are going to be in places where going to the toilet is troublesome just like us, you might also want one of these...

Portable toilet

 

Toilet Fluid

 

Of course, you'll also want some powerbanks to store extra energy at, and an actual flashlight that'll let you work in the night (I recommend the ones that you put on your head, very handy to have). And a first aid kit might be very handy, should you find yourself getting hurt with something.

And that's the gist of it. If you happen to find yourself needing to camp like we do... hope this list of essentials helps.
