From Wyoming to the high desert of NM, these hiking essentials will not fail you on your next trip!
Everyone needs a good lightweight, squishy, comfortable HYKE & BYKE sleeping bag. I love that it compresses so small! https://amzn.to/4fZEPtx
As a Texan, hitting higher elevations means colder temps – I’m always extra ready with this SEA to SUMMIT reactor bag liner…just in case the temps drop below comfort. It takes up very little space. https://amzn.to/4mFqIvO
I have the Mountainsmith Lichen Peak 2 person, I’ve taken this backpacking for years. It is a good sturdy tent that is no longer in production so I am linking the similar Mountainsmith Bear Creek 2 Person. https://amzn.to/4mqGvyx
Darn Tough Socks, the best ever. I’m pretty sure your hiking boots don’t even have to be comfortable if you own a pair of these. The padded sole is amazing. https://amzn.to/47H2Bs0
First Aid kit. this one includes everything except the kitchen sink. https://amzn.to/41XR97J
Don’t forget your Sawyer water filtration system! https://amzn.to/41Xn6gq
Trevi Electrolytes, delicious options, no sugar. https://amzn.to/4fLY6hW
These CNOC water bags are awesome if you need to carry water!! https://amzn.to/3JrO2i8
Never, ever, ever leave duct tape out of your pack. I have repaired and air mattress, a tent pole and helped a fellow hiker tape her shoes back together on the trail. This may be the most important item I carry. https://amzn.to/3HzcLk1
