Gear
lists.

Just the name Gear Lists makes me all warm and fuzzy inside 😉

Hikers are obsessed with gear. We research gear, we talk about gear, we watch other people talk about gear, we judge strangers’ gear in YouTube comments. On trail it eventually gets old - after a couple weeks you realize 90% of us are carrying some version of the same 12 things - but off trail? Oh, we will absolutely nerd out forever.

This section is where I keep my current setup. It changes depending on where I’m going, so don’t panic if you see two quilts or three jackets in there. I’m not dragging a full bedding department up a mountain.

I’m always hunting for new stuff that makes the kit better: lighter, tougher, more comfortable, less annoying at 3 a.m. when it’s raining sideways. If it works, I care.

So if you’ve got suggestions, I want to hear them.
