The great outdoors are always calling, and having the right gear can make every adventure safer and more enjoyable. This list is a collection of my go-to hiking essentials, from comfortable footwear and durable backpacks to hydration gear and other trail-tested favorites. I’ll keep adding to it as I find products I genuinely love and use.
A few hiking necessities that aren’t linked here but should always come along: a well-stocked first aid kit, bear spray where recommended, and enough food and water for your trip. Being prepared is one of the best pieces of gear you can bring.
Most importantly, let’s help keep these beautiful places wild. Follow Leave No Trace principles by packing out what you pack in, respecting wildlife, and leaving every trail, campsite, and viewpoint better than you found it.
Happy hiking, and enjoy the adventure! 🥾🌲⛰️

I am no pro-hiker by anyyyyy means, but I like to think I know what a good hiking bag contains. however! a small DISCLAIMER: this list isn't about the hiking essentials like water (duh), first aid (also duh), and all the other 10 essentials – those are a given, my friend! this list is of the things that you don't technically *need* to bring, but are helpful and fun to have! aka the non-essential essentials :)
We do the orchard and pumpkin patch thing every fall with my two, and the day always turns on the same three things: mud, cold hands, and a phone that dies before the hay ride. This is the exact bag I pack now, with the honest catch on every single item.

I deliver mail for a living and work outside for the last 11 years! I need all the *things* to help make my days go by as smoothly and comfortable as possible, especially in the hot days. The cold is my serenity 🩵 I feel the best in colder months, but still

With working many hours, eating in the car, going from different jobs with different outfits, transporting various people, etc., my car is just a pit for trash sometimes.

Skiing is one of those activities I believe you should have really good gear for, and it does make a difference if you feel comfortable and warm during the day.

So, here I my most beloved skiing items, tested and trusted by me. Enjoy!!
