One of my favorite outdoor YouTubers, Darwin onthetrail, posted a neat video earlier this year explaining the setup he uses for backpacking and other outdoor activities. So I thought I'd compile it into a gear list for anyone considering breaking into that space!

One thing to note is that Darwin stated that he may swap to the Sony a7S III at some point. I did not include that in this list as I wanted to focus on the primary gear he uses currently. Also, he did not cover any storage options, so I added an SD card that many people recommend for his camera.
