These are my favorite backpacks! I would typically recommend a 55L for people. If you NEED a lot of things go with a 70 but I don't recommend you go bigger than that for your big bag :) The Osprey bags come with a big and small bag. The others you buy big and small separately!

What I'd purchase if I was just starting out hiking and was wanting to get gear that is quality, technical, made for hiking/active wear, and that fit into a tighter budget. Some of the items on this list may not seem like the most "budget friendly" options and technically they may not be but due to quality, durability, and manufacturer warranties/guarantees they are, in my opinion, worth the extra cost. As someone who doesn't like spending money, I personally am a fan of spending a little more upfront to potentially save a lot in the future.
It's ok if you need to piece together your set up, sticking with what you already have and starting with the basics (Footwear, Pack, and the 10 Essentials) and working towards a more "complete" gear/clothing list. Happy hiking! :)
currently this is my recommendation list for lap swimming as someone training for their first triathlon. i think it’s applicable to all swim levels, and fitness goals.
I am a background actor, or extra, in movies and TV shows in Eastern North Carolina. You will hear both terms used but background is more the norm now.

One of the most stressful parts of backpacking is making sure you have everything you need. It can be expensive and confusing. Here's everything that's in my backpacking kit- it's all tried and true! Hopefully this helps you plan your kit, get gear ideas, or inspires you to get outside again soon🙂 As a side note, my kit is NOT perfect.

BUT (and it's a big but) I sometimes need a little motivation to get myself out and walking every day rain or shine. Note: this list contains affiliate, cash back, and referral links.
