When the forecast calls for rain on your next backcountry camping, backpacking or hiking trip, make sure you pack this gear!
Some of the gear I use:
Rain shell: La Sportiva Aequilibrium Lite GTX
Shoes: La Sportiva Akyra II
Tarp: Argali Talus Tarp
Durston Tents:
Boots: La Sportiva TX Hike Mid
The best headlamp: Fenix HM50R v2

Sometimes on very rainy all-day hunts I will were two rain jackets.
Try hiking through New Zealand in spring and you just get used to everything being wet :DD
omg you are so fucking canadian
Thanks for this Here in Ireland where if its not raining it will be shortly I have started using a cheap poncho (as backup) that also doubles as a ground sheet – this is in addition to my preclip waterproofs which wet out after 3 or 4 hours of rain.
I’m in Oregon. If I never hiked in the rain or drizzle, I’d never hike. So, learn to be comfortable with rain, recognize the signs of hypothermia, how to keep your gear dry, and know how to get warm and dry afterwards. Grew up using bread bags in shoes in winter, LOL. For a lightweight tarp, look at the Coalcracker Bushcraft T6-Zero.
