100+ Gear Lists For Every Type of Trip, Ever

A benefit of paid membership sites like BackpackingLight.com is they keep most of the spammy riff raff away, leaving room for only highly-enthusiastic, and (mostly) intelligent discourse.

Fortunately for us, there’s portion of BPL that’s both FREE of charge AND riff raff: The Community Section.

There you will find over 100 PDF-downloadable ultalight backpacking lists compiled by members of the community. Then, through the magic of crowdsourcing, the lists are ranked and discussed on the forums so that you can easily identify which lists are credible enough to assist in your own pack planning.

Head on over to BackpackingLight to check them out!

Great post! I’ve read random gear lists here and there, but not anything as intense as this! Although I’ve formed my own gear lists over the years, it is still interesting and helpful to read what others (even the pros) bring on their backpacking trips. And they are even in .pdf form! Perfect! Thanks for the post!

You’re welcome — thanks for your input! I’m working on setting up a similar crowdsourced gear list repository on this site, so I hope you’ll stop by and contribute when it’s ready. Thanks again!
