Osprey Fairview 55L
$160.99
My favorite backpacking and trekking backpack with a hidden bonus – the outside zips off to become its own day pack!
Keen Hiking Boots
$169.95
The affordable but durable hiking boots I’ve used for the last four years in Utah, Alaska, Norway, The Dolomites, and more!
Quick-Dry Towel
$30.99
Whether you’re staying in an Airbnb by the beach, a questionable hostel, or going on a camping trip, a quick-dry towel is essential for every trip.
Backpack Rain Cover
$32.95
Don’t arrive at your first campsite after a random rainstorm to find all of your clothes soaked through!
Hiking Day Pack
$45.99
If you don’t want to go the route of the full backpacking backpack, you’ll still need a good day pack for those single-day treks.
Camelbak
$36.50
Don’t weigh yourself down with a heavy waterbottle when you can carry this hands-free instead!
Marmot 4P Tent
$406.22
This was the tent we rented in the Norwegian fjords and as soon as we came home we bought the exact same one.
Hiking Poles
$17.59
If you still want to be hiking well into your 60s, hiking poles are essential to save the knees.
AllTrails+

The ultimate hiking and trail app but with more features, including downloading offline maps, 3D views, and more.
Black Pearl 88 Skis
$419.97
I bought my first pair of skis two years ago and can’t believe it took me so long to do so. These are the perfect first-timer skis, good for both powder and groomed runs and totally worth the price.
Helly Hansen Ski Pants
$150
Finally, a pair of ski pants that doesn’t make you look like a puffy burnt marshmallow.
PADI Scuba Certification
$230
Give the gift of exploring under the sea with the PADI scuba certification course.
