Over the years, we've tried and tested many different brands and products and finally found some favorites that we always turn to. Here are a few of our top picks. Let's go!

Selecting Durable and Cost-Effective Hiking and Camping Gear


Durability is crucial when it comes to hiking and camping gear. It's important to invest in high-quality gear that can withstand the elements and last a long time. Our family never compromises on quality; we want to ensure that our gear is reliable and long-lasting. We aim to select gear that can be used in all seasons, which means it must be durable, breathable in the summer, weatherproof on rainy days and well-insulated for the winter months.



Hiking shoes, hiking boots, waterproof

Hiking Boots

These boots have powered us through steep hikes and muddy paths.  You'd be surprised how good it feels to have your ankles supported by this footwear as you're treading up/down rocky, slippery slopes.  It's been a couple years of hikes and they're still looking pretty good through the wear and tear.  A must-have for adventurers, for sure.

The Ultimate Hiking Tip: Invest in a great pair of hiking boots. We love our Columbia boots and have no regrets. Columbia Men's and Columbia Women's Hiking Boots


Favorite Travel and Hiking Gears
Hiking Pants

For maximum safety, it's always best to wear long pants while hiking. If you prefer lightweight and breathable fabric, you might enjoy All-time favorite hiking pants. I love the drawstrings around the ankles to keep pesky bugs away, and zipper pockets to avoid losing anything while on the hike. Don't let discomfort or lost items ruin your next adventure - gear up with the pants.

On the other hand, my husband prefers Convertible Hiking Pants to keep cool on the trails. He LOVES his pants so much that he refuses to try any other ones until these become unusable.  They have a zipper to convert into shorts, have tons of pockets, and make him feel protected when taking the bushy path less taken.  Not too hot, not too cold - they fit just right.

Never head out to the trails without putting on sunscreen, the heat nowadays is not a joke. Also, make sure to use eco-friendly sunscreen to protect yourself and the environment.

Kids Hiking Bag: US I CA

Toddler Hiking Backpack

Our little boy loves his bag as it's lightweight and it carries his favorite toys and snacks during hiking. He brings this bag everywhere going to the mall, daycare, and even visits with the grandparents. The straps help keep them in place as he runs around too. Comfortable and practical with its large central opening and front zipped pocket.

Toddler Hiking Boots

Our little adventurer loves his Timberland Toddler hiking shoes, it has been a lifesaver for our little adventurer. These shoes have provided great ankle support, allowing our child to hop and play freely during our hikes.



Camping Gears

Camping tent - 4 persons
Updating this image soon. This is our old beloved Ozark 2 Person Tent. We have a bigger tent now that we have a baby: Core Tent 6 Dome

Tent

I'm all for spending for quality but always within my budget.  We have a 6 dome tent that has kept us dry, withstood the wind (when I thought it was going to blow us away), and comfortably fit a party of 3 with room to spare.  It says it fits 6 persons but we haven't had a 6th member join us yet; however, it definitely would work.  On top of that, it was easy to put up. 


Camping Chair or Beach Chair - Foldable

Portable Chairs

My husband is 5'7 (or 170cm), about 150lbs (68kg) and he likes it.  I'm smaller and I LOVE these chairs.  Easy to open, and even easier to pack, they're a welcome addition to our travel pack.

Flashlight

This flashlight is a great tool to have, as it is compact, bright, and affordable. It can easily fit in a pocket or purse and emits a powerful beam of light despite its small size. It is also lightweight and durable and despite its affordability, it does not compromise on quality or performance and has been tested to withstand everyday wear and tear.

Cooler Lunch Bag: US I CA

Lunch Bag

We loved this cooler bag as it's lightweight and perfect for short hiking and camping trips, even going to the beach as it keeps our drinks and food cool for up to 4 hours. It's also easy to store this bag as it folds and takes up less space in our cabinet.
