Backpacking Gear Guide: Our Ultimate Packing List from Fun Life Crisis
Going on your first backpacking trip can feel overwhelming and I still remember ours like it was yesterday. I was excited, nervous and we didn’t really know what to expect. Naturally we over packed and under prepared.
We hiked for 3 days through the Sierra Mountains in California and came back exhausted, dirty, sweaty and so happy. And we couldn’t wait to go on our next trip!
Since then we’ve taken numerous backpacking trips in the US and in other countries. Backpacking is a great way to get out in nature for some fresh air, beautiful scenery, and a great workout.
In this guide, we lay out a checklist of our favorite backpacking gear. After lots of trial and error, this is the gear that we love and will set you up for a successful backpacking experience even if you’ve never been before.

Sawyer Squeeze + Cnoc VectoX 2L 28mm is widely considered to be the most reliable filter-bladder combo in existence, and we agree 100% with that sentiment.

I carry the Sawyer Squeeze in my day pack in case of emergencies and as a backup to my larger water filter on backpacking trips where I know I’ll be relying on streams.
