SHOP PRODUCTSDeal of the Week: Everything—Yes, Everything—You Need to Go Backpacking, For $250 Off
Yes, this is our second Deal of the Week in a week. But in my humble opinion, the Near Zero Ready-2-Go Bundle is worth breaking a few rules for. Most backpacking bundles are both bare-bones and definitively for beginners, packaging together a relatively heavy tent, pack, and sleeping bag and leaving you to assemble the rest. In contrast, Near Zero’s 26-item bundle is impressively complete, including everything from a 350-lumen headlamp to a Sawyer Squeeze water filter to a lightweight trowel to a stove whose included fuel canister nests in its 750 ml stainless steel cookpot.
What’s more, our tester actually enjoyed using it: After trying a stripped-down, 10-item version of the bundle on a 14-mile loop through the Pisgah National Forest, Outside‘s Graham Averill said the 2-person Dynalite Tent, a 3.8-pound single-pole design, was easy to pitch and the 25-degree synthetic mummy bag and 1-pound, 2-ounce inflatable pad were both “comfortable and lightweight.” All those items come packed in Near Zero’s 60-liter The Dean pack, which comes with removable internal dividers and a rain cover, so all you need to do is add food and water, grab appropriate layers and footwear, and go. (All that for less than the cost of what some ultralighters spend on their tents.) The whole shebang weighs a reasonable 19 pounds as-is, but you can easily shave off about three pounds by leaving optional items, like the included camp stool, pillow, bag liner, footprint, and some of the contents of the overstuffed first-aid kit, behind.
