Wookiees do seem like the type to always be prepared. At least, comic-Chewbacca’s given me that impression. And it’s the closest thing to armor Chewie’s worn too, so there’s an even better reason to start wearing it. Now all we need to do is find him a bowcaster, and Chewie’ll be all set for the original trilogy!
Why have a campfire? Certainly not because this is a winter planet. At night. And there’s never been any sleeping bags shown. Though this would still all be ignoring the possibility of just sleeping in the AT-hauler ship. It’s gotta be climate controlled for space; it can probably handle some planetary cold. It just seems like the proper sort of thing to have a chat around I guess, especially for a bunch of bandits.

Jim: While sitting around the campfire, we prepared for tomorrow’s heist.
Jim: Val and Beckett shared a passionate kiss. Chewbacca put on bandoliers.
Chewbacca: Why would I put these on before sleeping?
Jim: To be prepared! Wookiees are prepared for anything, right?
Chewbacca: For suddenly having to do the heist—that’s planned for the morning—in the middle of the night?
Jim: Right!
Rio: Actually, why do we have a campfire? We could be spotted from miles away.
Jim: Oh, if the patrols had spotted us we’d have been dead already.
Rio: There are patrols?
Jim: Of course! And giant snow monsters!
Chewbacca: I put on the bandoliers.
