Backpack Gear

By BreeTraveling

The gear I brought with me backpacking the enchantments for 3 nights

Part 6 - Gear I brought to backpack the Enchantments!

Here’s the basic gear that I bring with me when backpacking. I love and recommend everything that I use, but if you think there’s a key item I’m missing out on, please let me know what it is! 

My first ever backpacking trip was about 5 years ago, and I learn something new on every trip. I usually only do 1-3 night trips, and honestly that’s more than enough for me. 

As much as I love sleeping in the middle of the wilderness with no phone service, eating dehydrated meals, I do also love sleeping in comfortable beds, with freshly cooked meals and taking a shower each night. 

I have a tendency to overpack, but I’d rather be over prepared than underprepared. I’ve accepted my fate that I will always be a 35-45lb pack girlie, but I envy the people who minimize their bags to 20-25lbs. It will simply just never be me 🤷‍♀️ 

My gear + pricing 
Bag: Osprey Aura AG 65L $150
Tent: Alps Mountaineering Phenom 2 person $130
Sleeping Pad: REI flash thermal inflatable $120
Sleeping bag: Nemo Disco 30 $290
Pillow: Cocoon aircore $30
Headlamp: Black Diamond Spot 400 $50
Cooking system: Jet Boil Flash $100
Hiking poles: REI traverse $100
Water shoes: Keen Newport H2 $95
Trail runners: Altra Lone Peak 5 $100
Day Bag: Osprey DayLite Plus $50

Don’t let the cost deter you! 

I almost ALWAYS shop discounted items/sales/use coupons from REI or buy second hand from Facebook marketplace or other websites. 

You don’t need the newest, best, most expensive gear. Certain things like a sleeping bag and pad are worth the initial high cost, but for other things you can get away with cheaper items. 

Backpacking, hiking and camping are all a learning process. To be prepared, it’s important to do research, but if you’re like me - the best way to learn is from your mistakes! After many years and trips in the outdoors, I finally know what I do and don’t need to bring with me each time.
