There are many approaches to backpacking gear checklists – and most contain extra gear that can weigh down a backpack. This is my minimalist approach to what I take on three-season trips.
The REI Flash 55 backpack is a budget friendly backpack that’s also lightweight and feature-rich. Redesigned in 2023, the Flash 55 now has more sizing options and an adjustable torso length.
A backpack will be one of the most important purchases you make since it is what you use to carry all of your gear, ideally in well-balanced comfort.
