We try to keep our setup lightweight, simple and inexpensive. We used many items that we already had, purchased some used and some from Amazon. We also found that IKEA is a good source of compact and inexpensive utensils, ETC. We frequently leave the truck behind to hike and explore, so the less high value items in it the better. See the Amazon gear list below. Make sure to read the comments, there are some tips in there!
