Copper Spur Line are high quality, compact, and light. Overall low pack weight is a must to accommodate camera gear.

Top quality ultralight camping quilts

Integrated foot pump sure beats blowing, if a bit more heavy/bulky than ultra-lite pads. Cosmo for comfort & durability or Vector for 1lb less weight and less pack size. Available in multiple sizes with or without insulation. I absolutely love my Cosmo.

Outdoor Accessories. Dry Bags, Ultralight Sleeping Mats, Bag Liners, Cook Wear, etc. I really like their dry bags, stuff bags, bag liners. Their Alpha Light Long Spork is great for scooping right out of freeze dried meal bags.

Gregory's Baltoro models are highly rated Back-country Camping Backpacks that have a back panel that can be unzipped kind of like a dedicated camera backpack.

The Osprey Atmos is another highly rated Back-country Camping Backpack.

An ultralite dry place to sit in the back country.

Long Lasting (70 washings) Permethrin treated clothing. They sell per-treated clothing, you can send them your garments to be treated. Lasts much longer than do-it-yourself sprays. Shirts, pants, socks, hats, travel sheets. Adults/kids/pets.

Handy if camping in wet weather

Great as a 2 to 3 person tent footprint, rescue blanket. Foil side up makes a great opaque sun shade.

Where to store a cooking grate when overlanding? Outside on the spare tire of the Jeep, or under the trunk floor.
