most enjoyed/ most valued/ most used, whatever you feel like mentioning. i’m starting to get into camping and could use some gear recommendations. backpacking equipment is a plus, i only plan on using what i can carry comfortably for a few miles.
unfortunately i can’t carry a trailer, big screen tv, and king sized bed into the back country…

    Goretex bivy sack. If it is going to be reasonable out weather-wise I can take it and skip a tent, while still staying dry in moderate rain. Plus it is light. Then of course the therm-a-rest.

    My -internal frame- Kelty backpack. External frames weigh way too damn much.

    Jet Boils, they’re magical.

    North Face gear, including my backpacking tent and most of my layers. It’s not just for preps to wear around high school, they make excellent equipment.

    And lastly my Camelbak. It’s much better than having a waterbottle thumping around the outside of your backpack (you still need to bring one as a back-up though, Camelbaks aren’t exactly durable)

    well my most favorite piece of gear would be my osprey atmos 65 pack I absolutely luv it over my other packs including my Kelty its much more comfortable and it seem to carry the weight better.
    its got an air gap mesh panel that goes to you back and keeps it dry and I keep my hydration bladder in there as well.

    Also I’ve found my new favorite multi tool to be the gerber suspension It feels so much better than the other ones I have.

    keep in mind what one person absolutely love there will be some one who hates it. my suggestion to you would be try things out like packs find a store and try them on. Knifes and multi tools are a little harder to try out it may look good in the store but may be horrible in the field check reviews on those. and also some times the cheapest thing may work better than the most expensive one.

    My "Big Agnes" insulated air mattress. A good night sleep can cure many discomforts.

    my fixed blade knife. make tools to make fire and make tools to catch fish to cook on your fire. After that it’d have to be my fleece sleeping bag. Incredibly lightweight and if it does get wet, it dries very quickly. You can get an Ozark Trails fleece bag at WalMart for about 11.00USD.
