30 Essential Pieces of Gear to go Backpacking

30 pieces of gear which I think are essential to go backpacking. You don’t need more than this! Of course bring more if you want and it will make you happy, but for safety and comfort this is what you need as a baseline. Even if you are hiking a 2,200 mile Trail like the Appalachian Trail, this is it.

If you are just getting started, remember… you probably own a lot of this! And don’t need to buy much new.

GEAR I RECOMMEND::
// Packing
* Backpack – 50/60L, internal frame, padded hipbelt. I like ULA backpacks or Gossamergear
* Pack liner – Any trash bag is good –
