As a personal project, I developed a backpacking gear guide for beginners. It covers the various types of gear and their pros and cons, basic safety info, and physical fitness tips to get you physically prepared for your excursion.

I have a love for the outdoors and being in remote areas. I remember trying to put together my backpacking kit as a newbie and struggling to make decisions as to what I needed as well as what is absolutely necessary to include in my pack. It can be very daunting when your gear list continues to grow. This booklet is a very basic and straightforward guide to the necessities. The goal is to make the prep and planning for your first backpacking trip as easy as possible.
