10. Lightweight Stove
Sure, you could just have a can of tuna and a handful of trail mix, but it’s hard to beat a hearty meal after a long hike. On the other hand, you may want to go pretty light on your pack. Fortunately, there are many backpacking stoves available nowadays that make a great job of heating up dinner without adding weight to your backpack.
Also, in a perfect world, you’ll want to gather around the fire pit or campfire at night, toasting marshmallows and telling stories. However, starting a fire in many campsites, forests, or National Parks, isn’t allowed, particularly during summer.
If you want to heat food, brew a quick cowboy coffee, or boil water, pack a backpacking stove such as the Jetboil, which fits inside its own cooking pot.
