When a hot meal at night and hot coffee in the morning is more of a need than a want, a reliable canister stove is mandatory. The Soto Windmaster stove is the best in class for ultralight canister style stoves. The burner is recessed allowing it to light easier and continue burning in windy conditions without requiring a separate wind screen. This stove has really great efficiency which helps you heat water faster and consume fuel slower.

This stove includes a FREE ultralight "TriFlex" stand, in addition to the heavier standard "4Flex" stand.

Lightload towels are the lightest, and most useful pack towels available. They come packed in a small cylinder, and unfold to about 12.5" x 22.5" (32 x 57 cm). They are super absorbent, and very quick drying. Imagine a name brand paper towel, except that these are cloth, reusable, hand washable, and biodegradable.

Don’t forget your towel!

Held 5 days of food easily. Could hold a lot more. Compacts down to size you are carrying. Love the ease of the roll top snap closure. Is so lightweight and sturdy. A simple luxury to make things flow best on trail.

Our food bags are made from thicker 1.6 oz/sqyd Dyneema®​ Composite Fabric to stand up to the abuse of bear bagging and to resist abrasion from heavy, pointy food items. The fabric is strong enough to discourage most small rodents but should still be hung out of reach over night.The “Large” size food sack can hold about 5-6 days of food.

The rectangular shape fits well in all of our backpacks, either standing vertically or sideways depending on the pack volume. The wide opening makes it easier to dig through the bag and find what you need.

This is also available as part of a Bear Bagging Kit with cord and a rock sack.

If you don’t need as much space for shorter trips check out our 3-4 day Big Food Bag.

Make sure you have fresh clean teeth to lift your spirits without weighing down your pack. This ultralight, compact toothbrush is integrated into a case designed to function as an extension handle and includes a mini toothpaste tube.

The included toothpaste tube holds enough for a week or more if used sparingly. When it runs out, pinch the air out, butt it up tight against a normal toothpaste tube, and squeeze more in to re-fill it.

These are not returnable once the packaging is opened, unless there is a defect.

The Victorinox Classic Swiss Army Knife is the perfect backpacking multi-tool at a minimal weight. It has a blade, functional scissors, a handy mini screwdriver, and nail file. A toothpick and tweezers are inserted in the sides.

This knife is either cobalt blue or red with the Zpacks crest on one side, and the Victorinox logo on the other side.

Looking for an even lighter knife with just a blade?  Check out our Titanium Micro-Blade Knife.

Lowered the weight to my tents, and provided a stronger system overall.

On rainy nights when the winds are strong, feel safe inside your dry shelter knowing your guylines are strong enough to withstand anything. Z-line Dyneema® cord is composed of a white Dyneema® core with a braided polyester sheath. Dyneema® has a high strength to weight ratio and does not stretch.

2.0 mm is the best choice for use with Lineloc V Guy Line Adjuster.

Available in Yellow, or Black. The yellow cord is extremely bright and easy to see as guy-lines day or night. It is not reflective but it does stand out well at night with a headlamp or in moonlight. The yellow cord shows up better at night compared to orange colored cord.

Nice to have some lightweight, small carabiners when hiking. Strung a line and used them to hold gear.

– Leon H., ★★★★★

At exactly one tenth of an ounce each these are the smallest and lightest carabiners around. They are perfect for clipping items to your pack, hanging your food bag, and many other uses. They are strong enough for almost any backpacking application, but are not meant to support a human's weight.

If you need a spot on your gear to clip it to, add a Stick on Loop.

Great item to add to your repair/ditty bag/possibles kit. In a pinch the needle can be converted to a fishing hook. It could also be used for an emergency suture if you don’t have butterfly bandages or superglue to seal a laceration.
