Gear you gotta have this spring.
Spring is officially on the horizon and around here, that means longer days, warmer afternoons, and every excuse possible to get outside.
To help you gear up for the season, we asked our own team what they’re reaching for as adventure season kicks off. From backyard hangs to trail breaks and campsite chill sessions, these are the real-deal spring essentials picked by the people who live and breathe Grand Trunk every day.
Different roles. Different adventures. Same goal: more time outside.
Let’s meet the crew.
Jenni: Double Deluxe Hammock
Jenni’s spring essential is all about space and comfort. The Double Deluxe Hammock gives her plenty of room to stretch out solo or share with someone special.
Whether it’s backyard hangs, campground mornings, or spontaneous sunset sessions, this is her go-to for slowing down and soaking up those first warm days of the year.
Why Jenni loves it:
- Roomy comfort
- Easy setup
- Instant relaxation anywhere you hang.
Mike: Compass 360° Stool
Mike’s pick is all about versatility. The Compass 360 Stool packs down small, sets up fast, and rotates in a full circle, making it perfect for everything from quick trail breaks to sideline spectating.
It’s the kind of gear you toss in your pack and forget about… until you’re really glad you brought it.
Why Mike loves it:
- Ultra-packable design
- 360° comfort wherever
- Perfect for family time outside
Aspen: Compass 360° XT
Aspen goes with the Compass 360 XT the taller sibling to the original. It delivers the same rotating comfort, just built for heavier use and longer sits.
From campsite mornings to extended outdoor hangs, this one’s made for when comfort really counts.
Why Aspen loves it:
- Sturdy build,
- Smooth rotation,
- Dependable comfort for longer adventures.
Paul: TrunkTech Hammock
My spring essential is the TrunkTech Hammock. It’s lightweight, insanely packable, and always ready for a quick hang. Whether that’s between meetings, after a hike, or during a sunny afternoon escape.
It turns almost any spot into hammock time, which feels pretty unbeatable once spring rolls around.
Why I love it:
- Strong
- Soft
- Compact enough to bring everywhere
Jene': Caddis hd CHair
From porch hangs to campsite chill sessions, Jene’ swears by the Caddis HD Chair. It’s comfy, stable, and sets up in seconds, making it an easy everyday favorite.
If your spring plans include reading outside, fireside hangs, or just kicking your feet up after a long day, this chair shows up.
Why Jene’ loves it:
- Supportive comfort
- Fast setup for wherever the day takes her
