My all-time favorite gear
I get so many questions about the gear I use that I decided to put up a continuously updated list of all of my favorite and current outdoor, backpacking, and photography gear.
Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to test out many different different brands and variations of pieces of gear. Although I don’t ever think there is one ‘best’ piece in each category since new gear keeps coming out and a lot of it comes down to personal preference, I personally love and stand by each of the items below.
