Bali packing lists treat a weekend trip and a month-long stay the same, which is how people end up checking a 70L bag for a place where everyone just wears the same three outfits on rotation. This is the edit for people who travel like they live in a small space: carry-on only, nothing that gets a lecture at the airport scale, and a few Bali-specific problem-solvers (rainy season, Bali belly, tap water) that generic "tropical vacation" lists skip.

If you're traveling to Broken Bow, OK, you're likely staying close to, or in Hochatown, OK. Hochatown is where all of the wineries and breweries are, as well as the majority of cabins and Airbnb's.

We didn't get to visit as many places as we would have liked, but we loved the area and the locals!

When we first got into backpacking we were broke and bought products on the cheaper side. Some worked out most of them didn't. We then researched and bought quality. Sometimes that worked and sometimes it didn't. Eventually we found what worked for us. Weight played a big factor along with durability. These are products I love and stand by.

A few years ago my family and I embarked on a journey to visit all 63 National Parks and as many National Monuments as possible. We LOVE the National Park Service (NPS) and their sites because they are very well maintained, clean, accessible to people with a range of abilities, they are family friendly and they have bathrooms! Here is a very condensed list of some of our favorite National Parks and Monuments (so far) as well as our favorite hikes, sites, excursions, and more! MY #1 TIP when visiting any National Park is to make a stop at the Visitors Center to talk to a Ranger about things to do in the area and gather information about trail closures, etc.
