~*~ Gear List ~*~
Gear
is an obsession for most backpackers. We spend much of our non-hiking time
perusing the web, catalogs, and local outfitters to find a new tent (or another
tent). When we find Hot Deals (SHHHHH, Go away!), we tell each other. Yes, we
are enablers. One can never have enough gear, for you just might be able to
convince 87 of your closest friends to go backpacking and you want to be able
to outfit them all, right?
Below
is a list of the gear that I presently use. As much as we all obsess over new
gear, opinions vary greatly on what the best is. These are just a few of things
that have worked for me over the years. I will be putting together my personal
reviews for each item (which can be found by clicking the link for each
category) and re-structuring this page when I have time but for now, it’s an
empty listing.
