My Favorite BUDGET Hiking Gear (Full Gear List)

Backpacking and hiking gear can be really expensive, but it doesn't have to be! You can get extremely nice things for extremely cheap if you would like to. In a lot of cases I choose the cheap gear instead of the really expensive gear! So all of what I am recommending here, I personally have used for hundreds or thousands of miles and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

This is a two part video series about budget gear!
Part 1: • Thru Hiking Gear Doesn...
Keep in mind when looking at this gear above, what we talked about in the last video. You don't need all of this! Even if you've never backpacked before. You likely already own a lot of things that would work perfectly fine for hiking. Even if you plan on doing a thru hike like the Pacific Crest Trail or the Appalachian Trail. So I encourage you to dig through your home first, and ask yourself, 'is this gear?'
We also talked about researching your planned hike environment, and weather. Some hikes just require more gear than others! A desert vs a rain forest for example. The wetter environment will require more. Some seasons require more or less as well. Winter hiking vs summer hiking. I will need a lot less gear (not having to spend so much money) in the summer for instance. So research can save you money! Knowing what to expect and what is needed, OR not needed!
So I hope you enjoyed my cheap gear breakdown! This is all of my favorite gear for thru hiking on a budget. This is what I personally would get if I was starting over, and looking to thru hike cheaply. I hope my two part series saves you money on your planned next trips!
It's almost thru hiking season, and many of you are prepping things now! Maybe this has come at a good time before setting off and hitting the trail

The majority of my gear is much older and much heavier than yours. Having said that, it's held up really well. My Eureka Timberline tent from 2005 is still very serviceable. My North Face Blue Kazoo down sleeping bag from 2000 is just about as good as ever (had to recondition it once or twice and shift the down to be more evenly distributed in the baffles, but worth the trouble). I use the same Nalgene water bottle that my wife got during her first pregnancy (14 years ago) to have something BPA free to drink out of. I'm on my second ridge rest sleeping pad- got the first in 1993. I've had the same MSR Whisperlite stove since 1996- those things are just about indistructible. Same thing with a stainless steel MSR cook pot. I'm not prone to blisters, but I carry duct tape just in case. It's handy for a footwear blowout. Probably the most minimalist piece of gear I carry, the one way I seem to do better than you, is a pair of Xeroshoes DIY sandals- at least in warmer weather. Not sure exactly how much they weigh, but they're completely field serviceable (I can complete any repair short of them being shredded, which is unlikely given the material, in a matter of minutes with a multitool, a hole punch, and extra paracord) and they're laced in such a way that I can wear socks underneath them. Most repairs won't even require the whole punch or extra paracord. Oh yeah, a multitool is an indispensible piece of gear. I carry a Leatherman Wave that I bought back in 2000 just about every day. It can be used to repair sandles, trim nails, prepare food, as a pot grip, to pull splinters, and as a makeshift weapon among other things.

Love your recommendation of the Xmid 1. The feature that I am going to lean on is setting up I the tarp without the inner. This way I get to challenge myself with tarp sleeping, with the ability to put up the inner if it gets too dangerous. My choice was the Xmid 2p Solid, because I hike with my pups and it should be a better tent for the cold

There is a neat trick when you have a neck gaiter that you can make it into a beanie by putting the "tube" on your head and twisting the fabric left over ontop, making the whole thing kinda look like a hourglass, and then threading it over your head once more. This way you will be wearing the neck gaiter over your head twice and the hole ontop will be closed from the twisting of the fabric.

Thanks for a great video Jupiter, I really agree with all of this, I’m hiking the PCT starting in a little under 2 weeks and have a few of these items. I started using the Platypus quick draw last spring and it is amazing. If you follow the instructions for preparing the filter for use it will filter 3L of water per minute and it is extremely easy to back flush and clean. The Durston x-mid is another item in my pack. It’s light, easy to set up and has two vestibules that have easy access to the interior cabin due to the displacement of the trekking poles. I also picked up the Cascade mountain tech poles for $24 at Costco last spring and they have performed flawlessly. And lastly to wrap it up is my ULA backpack which is very well made and their customer service is top notch.

My favorite budget gear because I am really tall at 6’ is a bag/quilt from 2Go Systems called Therme. Its down with a thermal layer and can be used as a bag or quilt or hammock pod. When I took the cordage for hammock use off it’s about 31 oz in a Sea to summit sil compression sack. This bag costs $125 and is a US cottage company I only discovered by looking for big and tall gear for my husband. It’s great for me as a beginner and I can’t really decide if I want a quilt or not. So it’s a great option for me while I’m a newbie and maybe longer too. Temp rating is good too 10 degrees for survival rating.

@JupiterHikes 3 ай бұрын

It's mostly used by thru hikers. People who are doing the 2,653 mile Pacific Crest Trail, or 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail for instance. When faced with such a great distance a few things happen that aren't usually as applicable to shorter trips. It becomes very difficult at times to find more fuel when you run out, it becomes a chore to actually cook each night when you're just getting more and more tired after months of hiking, and weight of your pack becomes even more important as you are fighting to stay healthy! Cold soaking is also good for efficiency beyond just the ease of use, or lighter weights. So people going for very big mileage days will often choose it as they can 'cold soak' much simpler and faster than they would be able to cook. Anyway, it's not for everybody certainly, but a lot more people do it on the really long trails than one might expect!

It worked for the rest of the AT (northbound), then on the PCT and lots of other trips later. 8 grams, just weighed it. Of course it can break, but I always bring a tiny pocket knife or multi tool so I can make an emergency replacement if necessary.
