Have you always wondered what’s in our backpacks when we hit the trail?

Well, we’re gonna tell you what’s in our packs, because friends don’t…
One of us recently got the opportunity to spend an unplanned week in Guatemala (OK, it was me). I realized 24 hours before it was time to leave for the airport that I was suddenly available to go, so I did. A couple of friends had been planning to go for a couple of months…
We love camping. Being outdoors, sleeping under the stars, no access to phones or technology…that’s living! Even ramen tastes good in the woods!
