Read our gear guide for our recommendations on our favorite hiking, paddling, and camping gear. This is our list of our favorite gear all in one place.
A Bit About Our Choices
We don’t recommend gear we wouldn’t personally use. As a family of four, our focus is on high quality, affordable and versatile gear that is well made and will hold up well.
Please note that when we link to products and services, those links may be affiliate links. If you click on any of those affiliate links and make a purchase within a certain time frame, I’ll earn a small commission. The commission is paid by the retailers at no cost to you. I only link to products and retails that I use myself and recommend. Money earned keeps Paddles and Packs running. Thank-you for your support!
