Fall is the best time to camp in southern California as the weather is perfect and the crowds are light. Not all camping grounds are back open here in Southern California and some remain closed due to their proximity to the wildfires. Instead of watching our camping gear sit idle, we’ve decided to camp out at home.
Here is some of our favorite gear that we can take from our garage to the back yard.

The Takibi Fire and Grill is made of durable stainless steel and designed in Japan for a lifetime of use. It’s packable, portable, and modular. It will instantly become the centerpiece for any campsite, at home or away.
