One of the main reasons I backpack is to spend time in scenic locations in the wilderness. In order to capture some of that beauty, camera gear is one of the few items that I’m willing to carry extra weight for.
Like pretty much everyone who backpacks, I learned that I needed to lighten my load to make the trips I do take less of a toll on my body.
The Hydroblu Versa Flow is a squeeze-type water filter that is lightweight, inexpensive and easy to use. After using the Versa Flow on over 15 days of backpacking, it’s now my preferred filter.
If you are looking for a lighter weight alternative to a sleeping bag, or you want an option that allows for more freedom of movement, this backpacking quilt is a good quality option with a low price tag.
The Tarptent Moment DW is a lightweight one-person double-wall tent. This is the pre-2019 version that I purchased at the end of 2016 and have used on over 20 backpacking and camping trips.
Of all of the gear that I’ve purchased since beginning backpacking several years ago, getting the right sleeping bag has been a bit of a struggle.
