I am looking at creating my backpacking kit. I just wanted to know what people consider their top items in their backpacking kit that might not be considered “essential” (tent, clothes, cookware, etc) or what they’d recommend looking into to improve the (already great) backpacking/camping experience.
Note : alcohol is supposed to be ‘non-essential’ !
An elastic band and a racquetball for stretching and myofascial release. 10-20 minutes effort in the evening helps me sleep better and get moving faster in the morning.
I’m always searching for better backpacking coffee. I have my eyes on a super lightweight pourover brewer, it’s a bit pricey so it will wait to be a bday or xmas present.
