I have made three different videos documenting the gear I&#8217;ve put to the test, each time trying to improve the quality of the gear. It all started with a simple idea: most backpackers are not interested in spending a small fortune on good backpacking gear. I&#8217;ve heard from many people who are frustrated that most YouTubers, myself included, only review super expensive gear. So I gave myself a challenge, to scour Amazon to find a quality backpacking set up, tent, backpack, sleeping bag, mattress, stove, cookpot, headlamp, and more, all for under $500 dollars.<br \/>\nThis video highlights the gear that has been the best. <\/p>\n<p>Interested in working with me?
