I do not like shopping, either online or in person, so having somebody else recommend what they actually use (not just suggest things) is always great. And with that, I’ve put together some different lists of the travel gear and products we use (not sponsored stuff). If it’s on our lists, it’s what we actually bring with us.
Even though I prefer to purchase items from smaller sellers and local shops, Amazon.com often ends up being the solution for a lot of people, including us sometimes. So that’s where we’ll start. When it comes to more niche travel, photography and paddling gear needs, we’ve got you covered for some different retailers there too.
Travel Gear Shopping Lists – Amazon
Each of these lists is curated from the gear we currently use. We’ll keep them updated as we find other products we love and take with us on our travels.
Travel packing doesn’t have to be stressful and you don’t have to bring everything and the kitchen sink, but there are some things that are always good to pack so you have the right sort of stuff. From travelable insect repellent to reef safe sunscreen, backpacks to first aid kits, this is what we use. Check out our helpful travel supply list!
An adventure trip is quite different from a beach trip. When we’re heading someplace with varied weather and terrain, we have very different clothes and shoes than our normal travels. We like things that are lightweight, waterproof when possible, and hardy. And of course the binoculars and camera gear to go along with it all. Check out our adventure travel gear list!
We live a block from the beach so are hanging out at least two days a week. This is our beach gear for nice, long beach days. We’ve had our beach tent and cart for years, and our chairs have made it through four seasons thus far. Check out our beach gear shopping list!
My camera gear includes my DSLR body, 250mm lens and 600mm lens, as well as when we use for video on the go and during adventure trips. Also, I love my backpack! Check out my travel photography gear list!
I’ve written a few books, and so have several of my friends! I love getting to share the work we all do, especially when it comes to book publishing. Please take a moment to support some of my author friends who continue to share their stories and life experiences with the world. Check out our book list!
Getting on the water is always more fun when you’ve got the gear that keeps you stress free. Whether it’s a comfortable PFD or a camera that you can actually use with ease on the water, we’ve got great recommendations for making your time outdoors more fun (and safe).
