Backpacking Gear

Backpacking gear is exciting! It keeps us warm,it keeps us dry, it protects us from the wind, it keeps us from sliding or falling, it let’s as rest comfortably and mostly it makes all those incredible trips we go on possible.

Most of us have a special relation to their gear, especially to the good long lasting ones. If we have gear fail on us then we are sad and sometimes disappointed.

We get excited about getting new, different or just more gear.

Here is a sample gear list for a trip in fairly warm weather, Grand Canyon in the beginning of April.
