Rock climbing gearConsider shampoo/conditioner bars - they are easy to pack, travel better than bottles, and help you avoid buying more plastic!
I’ve been using these, and I like them a lot:
HEADLAMP!
You can get a cheapo one at Home Depot (which are great, btw!), or a fancy pants one at REI. Of the more ‘pro’ brands, I recommend Petzel. The Blackdiamond ones always fail on me.
These HD ones come in a 3-pack for $15, and are awesome!
Daypack:
I bought this lightweight, foldable daypack a couple years ago, and I love it. Cheap, colorful, packs down very small:
This shewee is my fave - comes with a plastic lined case, and mini carabeener. I use mine several times a week. :)
