On this page you’ll find the gear that I personally use when hiking, camping, and doing all my favorite outdoor activities. I don’t recommend anything I haven’t used and liked. These companies also don’t pay me for these reviews. It is my genuine, honest opinion 🙂
If my website has been a resource for you, the best way you can return the favor is by using the links included to purchase your gear. I make a small commission from for those purchases. It helps fund this website and my adventures! Thank you and happy hiking! If you have any questions feel free to DM me on Instagram. I’m happy to help 🙂
AllTrails is my go-to hiking companion! I love being able to discover new trails, track mileage and elevation gain, read reviews, and navigate with confidence. Offline maps are key! Whether I’m exploring a new San Diego trail or planning my next adventure, AllTrails makes finding and enjoying the outdoors easier.
I’ve hiked countless miles all over San Diego and beyond. I’ve been through my fair share of gear and this collection is what works for me!
I don’t take all this gear with me on every hike. Some hikes require more gear than others. Consider this your set-up for day hikes.
If you’ve never camped before or are new to camping, the amount of gear choices to can be overwhelming.
My biggest tip for new campers is to keep it simple. The less gear you have, the easier the experience. The goal is to spend less time setting up camp and more time enjoying your camp.
I’ve updated my gear to cut weight without sacrificing comfort. Here’s all the gear I packed during my trek across the John Muir Trail. This gear got me through 21 days in the backcountry and hopefully many more!
