MSR SuperFly
Robust pot supports and a wide burner head bridge the gap between minimalist trail cooking and gourmet campsite cooking. My go-to stove, even…
GSI Pinnacle Backpacker Cookset
Everything two backpackers could ask for in a smartly-designed package (whose storage tub even serves a dual purpose). After camping with tubs…
Asolo TPS 520 GV
One of the best backpacking boots out there. Great for heavy loads over rough terrain, these boots are totally waterproof, fit like a glove,…
MSR Carbon Reflex 1
This is a very impressive tent from MSR. It is a bit expensive so I gave it 4.5 stars instead of 5, but wow, this is a great tent. If you go…
Mountain Hardwear UltraLamina 15°
Few things are worse than waking up at 1:00 am shivering in your tent while camping or backpacking. A quality sleeping bag rated to the night…
Black Diamond Icon
Super-bright light at 200 lumens and very durable. A little on the heavy/bulky side if you are into minimizing weight, but overall a solid light.
Lowa Renegade II GTX Mid
You absolutely should not skimp when it comes to boots for hiking and backpacking. A good, well-made pair of boots is going to cost a little…

Since I have taken to hiking and backpacking with low-cut hiking shoes, I wanted a way to keep debris from accumulating in the shoes and causing…
Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Pack Cover
The Sea to Summit pack cover is a lightweight and weather resistant pack cover that does a good job in keeping the pack dry. My main use of…
Nite Ize Gear Tie 24"
It's a nice alternative to using bungee cords. They are as useful as bungees. I liked the 24-inch pair so much, I bought a pair of 18-inch ties.
GoLite Jam2
Great ultralight pack for long-distance hiking, or carry more moderate loads for a weekend trip without adding extra pounds to your back. Rated…
Spark R&D Blaze
Awesome binding. No compromise, as good as a normal snowboard binding. These things are like night and day coming from the Voile Universal Sliders.
K2 Panoramic Splitboard Kit
Board is awesome, Voile universal interface leaves a little to be desired. I love this thing, it's my first split. I have put about a dozen…
DaKine Frontier 36L
Awesome, durable, full feature winter pack. I use the Dakine Frontier with my K2 Panoramic Splitboard. It doesn't have a dedicated snowboard…
Eureka! Solitaire
Advertized as a "tent", fits like a large, overweight bivy. I used this tent only a couple of times and put it away until I sold it. It's…
Vibram FiveFingers KSO
I put over a thousand miles running and hiking on my first pair before they finally wore out, and my knees have never felt better. My first…
Wenonah Escapade
The We-no-nah Escapade is a 16.6 tandem performance touring canoe available only in "tuff weave"material. Produced mainly for lakes and gentle…
Coleman Feather 442 Dual Fuel Stove
The easiest liquid fuel stove I have come across. Also, instant flame which can 'simmer' in a manner of speaking. The all-in-one feature of…
Trailspace Trail Runner Cap
So light you'll forget it's there. Yes, I'm gushing over this hat because it was a prize. BUT this really is a great hat for ultralight backpacking.
Omega Pacific Jake Quik-Lok
Not what I hoped for. I was looking for a "throat-y" auto locking aluminum 'biner, and the Omega Jake (OJ) drew me in with its description of…
Omega Pacific Standard Locking D
Decent 'biner at a good price. I use these every day on my Adventure Challenge course. They are a dependable aluminum carabiner at a low cost.
Platypus Big Zip SL
Worth the switch! After long time dedication to a competitor, no regrets; Nice construction, long tube, and a well engineered sure close system.
Petzl Shunt
Unnecessary, "psychological" backup. I was terrified of rappelling and ascending ropes 14 years ago. So I bought the Shunt as a "back up" in…
Petzl Pantin
Does what it is suppose to do quite well. I have been using the Patin for years as a supplement to my Frog Ascension. Normally, when you start…
CMI Rescue Rack
My "go-to" rappel device. I have bounced many pits on this rack, and it's still going strong. There are different kinds of racks on the market.
Black Diamond ATC
Belayed thousands of people on this tube. This belay tube device does exactly what it's intended to do for a great price. I have been using…

Platypus Platy Bottle
Lightest, most durable bottle on the market! I first started using a Platypus bottle in my caving pack. Anything that goes caving gets BEAT…
Eagles Nest Outfitters RestNest
Good quality hammock, but a bit on the small size. I know it is listed as a discontinued item, but the RestNest has been selling on some of…
Primus Litech Trek Kettle
This amazing little stove pot is compact enough for the average backpacker and gives versatility to the beginners out there. Amazing for its…

Reliable and easy to use. I bought one of these water filters about 10 years ago. It was PUR brand but is exactly like the Katadyn Hiker version.
Macpac Minaret
A sturdy four-season tent, lightweight and pretty much bomb proof. Integral pitch design makes it a snap to get up in any sort of weather, but…
Nike ACG Air Umara
Not the best hiking boots in the world, but they are easy to break in and keep your feet relatively comfortable... That is until they start…
Mountain Hardwear Piero Pant

I was shocked to find such a good pair of Columbia shoes for so cheap at Sierra Trading Post (with coupon). I just love Columbia footwear. They…
Soto Mantleless Lantern
Great rugged little lantern and no mantels or glass globes to break. I have the Brunton Liberty version which is the same Soto Mantleless. Brunton…
REI Half Dome 2 Plus
Floor size is 98 x 56 inches. This tent is an excellent choice for taller people. I am 6'2" and have plenty of length. It is a breeze to set…
REI Sahara Shirt
This shirt makes great travel gear. It is lightweight, washable, packable, light. The fabric breathes well. Alas, the fabric is not very durable.
Mountain House Beef Stroganoff
I love the taste, but the ingredient list is as long as my...arm. I don't often eat Mountain House (MH) foods because I find them to be too…
CamelBak Octane XCT
Great bag for trail running. I bought this bag for trail runs were there aren't any water sources to refill my waist bottle (w/ Steripen Adventurer).

These are my go-to pants for every adventure from skiing to canyoneering. They perform well and look nice. I bought these pants as a layer for…
Crazy Creek Crazy Crib
This is a good lightweight hammock for hot summer, bug-free situations. I am a lover of hammocks! Why sleep on the ground if you don’t have…
Appy Trails Mark III
If you want to "lighten the pack" without going "all in" this could be for you. Same weight class as many tarps but has the advantage of zipping…
SteriPEN Adventurer Opti
In general, the product performed as expected. I wanted a quick, lightweight method to purify water that didn't take up a lot of space in my…
Granite Gear Pack Stuffer

Great, lightweight hiking boot, but not for loads heavier than a day pack. Long lasting outsole and greatly improved with aftermarket insoles.
Gerber Infinity Ultra Task Light
Best flashlight I ever owned. This Gerber flashlight produces a very even field of illumination which makes it a joy to use. Because the field…
Mammut Trea Guide 40+7
A good pack for ski mountaineering. Durable material, nice equipement-specific features and comfortable carry system. Recommended for women…
Arc'teryx Naos 55

Snow Peak Mini Hozuki
Bright, Light, and TIGHT! Range: Lit up my tent like a battlefield. Not being a focused beam, it doesn't throw light far. But you can probably…
Canon PowerShot A2300
Enough of an improvement over a cell phone camera to merit taking along. For a while I have been using the camera on my cell phone because carrying…
Optimus Terra Solo Cookset
Great solo-sized two pot set for lightweight, compact backpacking. Easily fits a small fuel canister, mini stove, and lighter inside. Nice mesh…
GSI Halulite Minimalist Cookset

Big Agnes Hinman Pad
The Hinman rates lower than a Kelty double-wide sleeping pad but the new Tensleep Station 4 is a winner! We have just returned from a 22-day…
Kelty Vista 3
Close to perfect for canoe camping in the Canadian wilderness. Forget Kelty's semi-apology to backpackers about weight. Roomy, very workable…
Sierra Designs Convert 2
This tent is very packable and totally weather proof regardless of what you're up against, and I've lived it all in this tent. The removable…
The North Face Jannu GTX
Disappointing. Lack build quality. Let in wet. Lack durability. I bought these boots just over two years ago from Castle Mountain and Moor in…
Scarpa SL M3
Great boots for hauling heavy loads over rough terrain. Durable, but expect a long-break in period. I bought these boots in 2009, and have hiked…

A 2013 model, side zip, 15 degree bag with 850 down fill and a Pertex Quantum shell. Recommended for people looking for a 2 pound, winter/fall/spring…
Ruff Wear Approach Pack
So far so good. It's worth the extra money. I have had this pack for a year and a half now, but we have not done a year and a half worth of…
Odwalla Bar
Not as good as bacon, but what is? I usually eat Kit-Kat bars in the cold and crunchy granola bars in the heat. These little bricks of yumminess…
Sierra Designs Meteor Light 3
This has been my "Go-To" tent for almost 20 years. Reasonably lightweight, roomy, dry, and a great design. I have used a lot of tents from a…
Petzl e+LITE

High Sierra Titan 65
When it came time to get a new pack, I wanted something that could be utilized for a short weekend trip, but also something big enough for longer…
Tarptent Double Rainbow
Light and convenient. Difficult to set up correctly to keep out rain. Not sure this tent is suitable for the Canadian Rockies. It needs pegs…
Bell Canoe Northwind
Bell has stopped making the Northwind, but it is a very satisfying boat to paddle and a good compromise between tracking and turning ability.
Black Diamond Ultra Distance
If I could rate a 5 I would! The Black Diamond Z Pole Ultra Distance is supremely light and comfortable. I used to hike with inexpensive poles…
The North Face Cat's Meow
I bought the Women's Cat's Meow several years ago, so this may be an older version than the one you may be considering for a purchase. I am…
