What to Pack for a Weekend in the Wild

1. Rugged, Go-Anywhere Shorts

When the terrain gets tough and the temperature climbs, you need gear that keeps up. Enter the Lord Carpenter Shorts - our hardest-wearing pair to date. Built to take a beating, with functional pockets and reinforced seams, they’re the short version of your favourite workwear.

For a lighter, more laid-back option, go with the Virgil Chino Shorts - clean lines, easy fit, and available in three colours to match your mood (or the mud).

And for something with serious backwoods attitude, the Army Surplus Shorts bring that old-school camo charm - ideal when you want to blend in with the forest floor.

2. Layers That Earn Their Keep

Even summer nights can drop quick once the fire dies down. The key to staying warm? Smart layers.

The Pioneer Hoodie is your campfire companion - super-soft, slouchy, and full of throw-it-on appeal. For something with a little more structure, pack the Noragi Chore Jacket. It’s versatile, hard-wearing, and tough enough for chopping wood or hauling gear. Functional meets cool.

And underneath it all? Go for the Base Waffle Crew. It’s made from the perfect outdoor fabric - warm, breathable, and naturally rugged. Ideal for those early mornings when the mist’s still hanging in the trees.

3. Accessories That Work Hard

A good cap goes a long way. The Pioneer Embroidered Cap keeps the sun off, hides the wild hair, and looks better the more you break it in.

The &SONS Blanket and Harness is one of those pieces you’ll wonder how you ever camped without. Sling it over your shoulder for hikes, throw it over your sleeping bag when the chill sets in, or lay it out for your fireside whiskey ritual. And while we’re not ones for overpacking, there’s still room for a little grooming in the great outdoors.

The Essentials Tool Roll is designed for your toiletries - compact, practical, and tough enough for the road. Hang it from a branch or unroll it on a camp bench - it keeps everything in one place without losing the rugged vibe.

4. Don't Forget the Details

Just because you’re off-grid doesn’t mean you should smell like it. Our Pioneer No.1 Solid Parfum is compact, subtle, and built for life on the move. Fresh, earthy, and easy to stash in your back pocket - because you never know who you’ll bump into at the water tap.

Final Word

Camping isn’t about roughing it. It’s about resetting. It’s the gear you trust, the rituals you love, and the kind of peace you can’t buy in a shop. So pack light. Pack right. And if in doubt - bring layers and matches.
