BEST Ultralight Hiking Gear for the Money $$$ in 2023

This writer’s spent too many miles rucking big, heavy, bulky stuff through the woods of the east coast, and the Rocky Mountains in the Midwest. The military was certainly no help, either.

You should, too. If you don’t, well – you probably just haven’t trekked far nor wide enough to appreciate having a svelte 10 Lb load instead of a 25 Lb rucksack. So, here’s the best ultralight hiking gear and camping equipment to make your next trek a little (or a lot) easier.

With Sawyer’s clothing and gear permethrin, you can spray your gear instead of yourself. And the odorless spray effectively works up to six weeks or washings. For turkey hunters, one dousing of Sawyer’s permethrin on your vest and gear should last you an entire season.

Water filters are a must in the backcountry and the go-to filter that almost everyone uses is the lightweight hollow fiber micro-membrane filter called Sawyer Squeeze.

Personally, I use Sawyer’s Fabric Treatment–available in pump or spray–for my hunting and hiking clothes.
