A list of all the gear in our 19 lb 8 oz base weight two person backpacking set up plus reviews of all the items we use.
Shortly after we moved to California for Justin to attend medical school, we found ourselves on the cusp of a highly coveted long weekend with no plans. As we sat on the bed discussing what a crime it would be to waste the weekend without having any adventure, a plan began to emerge. We would go to Yosemite to backpack. That night. It was already evening and the drive would be six hours so there was no time to hesitate.
Only taking the clothes you really need is one of the quickest ways to start slimming down your backpacking setup in the move toward ultralight freedom. What do you really need though? Here, Justin and I share what we take in our ultralight set up for long distance backpacking after 10 years of trial and error + honest reviews to help you make your own decisions.
