Everything Gear.
“Take your time to smell the flowers” — that’s our bikepacking motto! Over the years, we found a good balance between comfort and durability. Check out our bike setup and gear recommendations for multi-day bike trips here.
From the Appalachian Trail to the Pacific Crest Trail, Great Divide Trail and Swedish Kungsleden: we LOVE being out there with nothing but a backpack and a smile on our faces. Here’s our list of most essential camping and backpacking gear.
Van Life Gear
Having traveled the U.S. for 3 years in a Dodge minivan, we dialed down our favorite equipment for car camping in this van life checklist.

After every adventure, we receive quite a few questions about our favorite gear. Whether it be for backpacking, cycling or car camping, we wanted to share with you our most beloved and durable gear items. Take a peek and let us know your thoughts!
*You might notice a certain overlap in our gear lists for different outdoor activities. Why? Because most gear items can be used for multiple outdoor actives, easy peasy. Better for the environment, better for (y)our wallet!
*If you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. This keeps our website 100% reader-supported and free of advertisements or sponsorships. Thanks for your support!

Seriously, taking time to read outside is the best gift to yourself. <3
