UPDATED: Definitive Black Friday Sales Guide for Backpackers (2021)

The best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for backpackers are already live with more in the works for the coming week.

Most (nearly all) the gear most-loved by Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide Trail hikers as reported in the yearly PCT Gear Survey and CDT Gear Survey is available at what's likely the steepest discount you'll find all year (if you're buying new). If you've got plans for the outdoors in 2022, now's a great time to get your kit sorted without paying retail (the worst amount to pay).

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions, and don't forget to use the links in this post to support Halfway Anywhere!

In future, I’ll use gravity when I can, and squeeze when I have to.

For longer hikes, it’s convenient to carry a small backcountry water filter, such as a Sawyer Mini or Micro, which allows you to replenish your water from natural sources like streams or ponds.
