What gear do I need for a successful backpacking trip?

You'll need a good backpack, tent, sleeping bag, cooking gear, and appropriate clothing. Do you have any specific destinations in mind?

I'm planning to hike in the Rockies. Any specific recommendations?

For the Rockies, consider a 3-season tent, a sleeping bag rated for colder temperatures, and a portable stove. Don't forget a water filter!

What about food and water?

Pack lightweight, high-calorie foods like energy bars, dehydrated meals, and nuts. Always carry enough water and a filtration system.

How do I pack everything efficiently?

Use packing cubes to organize your gear, place heavier items at the bottom, and keep frequently used items accessible.
