This is my favourite tent: The Big Agnes Copper Spur 3. It's super light weight, a good light color and can sleep multiple people. I have the 3 person tent because I wanted room for friends or bags on the inside depending on the trip. My dog also loves sleeping in the tent.

Food is so important when you are hiking and out in the wild. I like to keep it pretty simple and often opt for my JetBoil. I can boil water for everything like coffee, backpacking meals, ramen, filling up a water bottle and much more. It’s light weight and small to pack!

Having drinking water might be one of the most important items when you are going anywhere into the wilderness. The number one thing I always pack is my Katadyn BeFree water filter. This is light weight, super packable and perfect size to pair with my cooking system.
