My son has seen most of his early life from this Deuter bag, which is one of the most comfortable bags I’ve worn, kid’s pack or otherwise. It almost never goes on sale, so grab it while you can.

We like the cheaper, more basic Coleman model (see Best Camping Furnace guide), but at this price, the Triton+ is also a good deal. You get two burners in a relatively slim package that’s easy to throw in the back of your car.

I’ve never tested this model, but Mountainsmith’s packages are legendary for their comfort and endless organizing features. This 20L size is perfect for day hikes or commutes.

Icebreaker’s Tech t-shirt is 100% merino wool and is comfortable in all but the warmest weather. They’re also great for layering because they do a pretty good job of blocking the wind (compared to cotton t-shirts). There are many different designs and colors for you to choose from.

Vibram’s Five Fingers is not for everyone. In fact, if you’re new to the so-called barefoot shoes, don’t buy these; see ours Best barefoot shoes instructions for some other options (like your bare feet!). But if you are a Vibram fan, this is a good choice.

Need an outdoor Zippo? Probably not, but these park-inspired Zippos are too cool to not include. In addition to Half Dome, there are lighters with Katahdin, Rainierand than.
