Now I'm only a 2-3 season car camper, no backpacking (yet!) but I find these items to make my trips super easy and comfortable even when outdoors.
GAME. CHANGER. This tent quality is so incredible, as expected from Snow Peak, and I love that the pitch height is tall enough you can stand up in it. It's heavy, but set up was super easy and I'd feel confident doing it solo!
Alpha Breeze
A must! I have the Static XL and it is easy to blow up, easy to deflate, weighs nothing when packed, and stays inflated. 10/10!
Outdoor Sleeping Pads
easy to set up, easy to use, easy to clean.
Triton™ 2-Burner Propane Camping Stove
I picked up this set last time I was in Sweden, perfect all-in-one that can be used backpacking, too!

I love my Kelty sleeping bag — I opt for the rectangle, not the mummy version (claustrophobia!) and I love the dual duvet/sheet system.
Sleeping Bags - Kelty
keeps coffee hot, easy to clean, easy to use — would expect nothing less from Snow Peak again!
Titanium French Press
a good camp coffee system is a must, and this is no exception!
Grinders
does it need a description?
Headlamps & Rechargeable Headlamps
perfect durable weekender bag, whether you're packing clothes or extra gear
The Original Boat and Tote
an outdoor-friendly blanket is a must, especially for the pup!
Grab and go with your favorite throw or roll up blanket
can't forget an extra battery!
Mophie
always on me, all the time — great to capture more analog memories of the trip.
