Backpacking Gear List 2022
Preface
Welcome to my 2022 Hiking Gear List. Before we get into the gear, I wanted to provide my safe harbor statement. Most of the links to purchase the gear are affliate links and they help support my hiking hobby if you choose to use them. Also this list is my 1-2 night standard hiking gear for Spring, Summer, and Fall. Additionally, I don't live in bear country, so this list doesn't include some additional items I might carry when in bear country. I don't buy everything off the shelf. I enjoy making some of my own gear, either via my Ender Pro 3 - 3D printer or home made medical kits, stuff like that. I'll write about those things in the future. Finally, here is a Printable Gear List to check out and I hope you enjoy the gear as much as I do - Cheers!
