Sometimes I keep the runners-up, or sometimes I return them. I’m pretty sure I ordered my top 3 sporks and my top 3 cooking pots. With hammocks, I ordered only my top pick (my hammock was custom-made and expensive, so you can’t order a lot of those). With backpacks, I ordered my top 5 picks. There is something about seeing a product in person that a spreadsheet just can’t replicate.

Trial and ErrorĪfter I’ve narrowed down my choices via research and spreadsheet on a particular type of gear, I’ll order my top pick or sometimes my top 3. So now you see why the research is so important.įor gear nerds like me who want to see my whole process, you can check out my 3 Steps for Researching New Backpacking Gear. It can’t be too heavy, but you don’t want it so flimsy that it falls apart as you dig into a nice warm meal. I researched and created a spreadsheet for sporks! After all, a spork is very important. After that, I researched backpacks, then tarps, cooking pots, sleeping pads, tents, and sporks. The spreadsheet compared pricing, weight, features, reviews, and more. Researching backpacking and hammock gear for the JMT was no exception. I create them daily in not only my work life but also my personal life. As I said in my last post for my JMT Itinerary Part 1, I love plans, spreadsheets, and lists. Once I start researching, I just can’t stop if it clicks. Knowledge is power, and I love to share knowledge. You can see what I mean on my blog, Adventures In Fluff. I did so much research for my own use that I became more of an expert and then shared what I learned with others. While pregnant with my son, I grew a passion for cloth diapering. Yes, I’ve been here before with other passions. Passion! Yes! That’s a great word! I’m not an addict, or crazy, or insane… I’m just very passionate! Let’s go with that. After a while, it becomes more than just a hobby. It starts as an idea, then it becomes a hobby. So, how did I get here? I didn’t just go from calm and collected to a crazy (I mean enthusiastic) gear hoarder (I mean collector) overnight, did I? No, it built up to this. I’m sure you catch my drift.īackpacking Gear – Addiction or Enthusiasm How Did I Get Here? So, as you read on below, remember to think enthusiast… not addict… or crazy… or insane. Seriously though, let’s just say I’m a gear fanatic or enthusiast with a slight obsession and the goal to become an expert. Is ramen considered food? Yes! In the world of backpackers, ramen is food, so yes, I could live on ramen. I mean, what kind of backpack are we talking about? I’m sure if I had to choose between food and a new hammock, I would probably choose food… probably. I don’t think I would sell my body on the streets or steal my kid’s money to get a new backpack. What started out looking like a simple hobby has blown out of proportion into a full-blown addiction.Īddict – is that the right word? It seems kind of harsh, but maybe it’s correct. The only difference I saw was that I’ll need to carry a tent, sleeping bag, and some food, right? Wrong! Oh, I was so wrong. I mean, how hard could it be? I hike all the time, so there’s nothing new there. As mentioned in my intro post here on The Trek, the idea of backpacking started for me about two years ago.
