Build My Kit

Build My Kit

A fully customized backpacking gear list—done right the first time.

Getting into backpacking can feel overwhelming—fast.
Hundreds of tents. Endless sleep systems. Confusing fabrics. Apps, accessories, and jargon like R-Value, Denier, and Fill Power thrown at you from every direction.

It’s no wonder so many new backpackers overspend, buy the wrong gear, or quit before they ever enjoy a great trip.

That’s where I come in.

What This Is

Build My Kit is a fully personalized backpacking gear build, created specifically for your body, your goals, your budget, and the type of adventures you want to have.

Together, we’ll remove the guesswork and build a complete, dialed-in kit that actually makes sense for you.

I don’t just tell you what to buy—I explain why, help you avoid common mistakes, and show you how to get the most value for your money.

What You’ll Get

• A complete backpacking gear list tailored to you
• ~150 recommended products across 50+ gear categories
• Multiple options for different budgets (budget / value / premium)
• Clear explanations for every major recommendation*
• Tips on where to save money, where to spend it, and how to find deals*
• A printable backpacking checklist you can use before every trip

Nothing is left out—down to the smallest details.

Backpacking gear is expensive, and most people learn through trial and error.
This service helps you skip the costly mistakes and get it right the first time.

*Available when you choose "with video call"
