Cowboy Camping is Camping Without a Shelter
When it comes to camping, there are many options, from car camping to backpacking with a tent. You can camp with a hammock or a tarp to keep your base weight down. However, the simplest form of camping is cowboy camping, according to an article at Outdoors.com.
In short, cowboy camping is sleeping without any form of shelter. You’re out in the elements. As the name implies, think of a classic Western movie with a bunch of cowboys sleeping around a campfire. However, there is some gear you can use.
Recently, a backpacking influencer shared her basic setup for cowboy camping.
In the post, Bee’s Wild Life lists basic items, including a ground tarp, a sleeping pad (or two), and a sleeping bag. She appears to be sleeping somewhere in the desert and reminds viewers to camp this way, “You can’t be afraid of critters and wildlife coming up to say hello in the middle of the night.”
