Make sure you have 3 essential backpacking gear before the trip.

(If you registered early and selected the free rental accommodation, you don’t need a tent.)

Essential Backpacking Gear

Easy Gear, Easy Trip

Backpacking means everything you need fits inside or rigged outside your backpack — but don't worry, that's easier (and cheaper) than it sounds. Most attendees don't already own this gear, and that's totally normal. See below how to get sorted quickly and affordably.

Rent from us at low cost, or get cheap on Amazon — some of the best deals you'll find anywhere.

Backpacking Tent

1–2 person sleep capacity, and lightweight

Sleeping Bag + Pad

Rated 40–50°F for summer night temps.

Backpacking Pack

Saturday-Sunday we’re backpacking into the wild.

You can also use your own regular-sized backpack and strap/clip gear that doesn’t fit to the outside (contact us for clips & straps).
