The line features a wide array of tents, sleeping bags and pads, camping furniture, hiking accessories, and apparel, which is offered in men's, women's, and children's sizing. As [Gear Junkie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinyblade) points out, a few highlights from the collection include the 'Stoic Madrone 4-Person Tent' for car camping, the 'Stoic Driftwood 2-Person Backpacking Tent,' which is more lightweight and provides three-season protection, and the comfortable water-repellent 'Groundwork 20 Degree Sleeping Bag.' Backcountry's Stoic line is available through the brand's web store, where shoppers can categorize the products based on sizing and activity.
