A camp stove that won’t light when you’re 40 miles from civilization. A backpack that saw one too many bird photography outings and finally gave up. The camera battery that died just as a mountain lion stepped into view.
We’ve been there. And after years of trial, error, and the occasional meltdown, here’s the gear we swear by.
A quick heads-up: some of the links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy something through them, we may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It’s one of the easiest ways to support Rooted in the Dust without spending anything extra.
That said, there’s no pressure from us. We only recommend gear we’ve used and appreciated (especially the gear that works when our brains refuse to). If affiliate links aren’t your thing, feel free to use this list as a starting point and shop wherever you’d like.
