Even when you aren't using your phone, it might be secretly betraying you, burning through battery life trying in vain to find a cell tower. And depending on where you plan to hike, camp, or otherwise survive, your backup power needs could range from running a portable speaker to calling for a medical evacuation. Here are our picks for the best backpack-friendly power products, for whatever kind of excursion you're prepping.

A 9 pound pack is all you need to be safe and warm. So, if you want to lower your pack weight but retain all the convenience and comfort of "traditional" backpacking, look no further than this Lightweight Backpacking Gear Checklist.

This Lightweight Backpacking Gear Checklist is suitable for most backpackers on most 3-season trips in the lower 48 and most trips world-wide. In some instances, you may wish to fine-tune this list to your particular trip needs and/or backpacking style by selecting suitable optional or alternate gear in this list. I've also tried to list a number or items available from major retailers like REI, e.g. the excellent and reasonably priced Outdoor Research Helium II Rain Jacket at only 6.4 ounces!

Note: feel like going even lighter? See: 5 Pound Practical Lightweight Backpacking Gear Checklist (link) New
The lightest gear that still makes practical sense. Focused on efficiency while staying warm, dry & safe

9 lb Lightweight Backpacking Gear Checklist - summary with weights

Detail of Gear Checklist Items

Backpacks

Gear Packaging & Food Storage

Sleeping Bag or Quilt and Pad

Tents & Other Shelters (TarpTents, Pyramid Shelters, & Tarps)

Optional: Sleeping Gear & Shelter - Hammock (*great for East Coast & wooded areas)

This link jumps to a hammock gear section at the end of the page. In areas with plentiful trees like the East Coast of the US I feel that hammock camping has many advantages. When in the Sierras or other areas with few trees, the opposite is true and I usually camp on the ground using a NeoAir mattress, in a 7 ounce bivy sack, only putting up a tarp when it is actually raining (or sharing a pyramid shelter with my hiking partner). [And I fully realize that some readers will be unconvinced by my enthusiasm for hammock or tarp camping even in areas with lots of good trees. Ground camping is just fine!]

Cooking Gear and Water Storage/Treatment

See: The Best Hydration - Drink When Thirsty. This debunks the many myths about hydration and dehydration like " If you are thirsty, it's already too late" and " If your urine is yellow, you are dehydrated. " This article suggests that Drink When Thirsty is the best and healthiest strategy for hydration during exercise.

Clothing in Pack (not usually worn)

Clothing Worn and Items Carried (stuff not in pack)

"Essential" Gear (smaller items not included in above)

First Aid Kit (detail)
