Like 90% of my gear is from aliexpress. Hasn't let me down, but to be fair I rarely go hiking for more than 5 days at a time. Picrel is most of what I will take for the next hike in a few days (4 days duration) minus clothes. Most of the aliexpress items were bought during some promo or something of the sort to maximize savings.
From top left:
>Food for 4 days, including snacks.
Total of 6k kcals, 276g fat, 216g protein, 644g carbs. The food this time was meant for cold soaking, but it rained the last few days, so I'll take the stove and heat it probably. Bought locally obviously.
>Sleeping bag
Naturehike CW400, size M. I love this thing immensely. Packs small, feels soft and nice, keeps me warm, isn't as cramped as a mummy sleeping bag and you can zip it open all around and you have a (2 person) quilt. Highly recommended.
>Naturehike sleeping bag liner
It's soft, easy to wash, very stretchy and absorbs any sweating I do while sleeping. Worth taking with you imo. No idea what that fabric is, but it's a dream to sleep in.
>Noname microfibre towel
It cost me 2$ and it works, no idea what more I could want from it.
>Tent
Naturehike Cloud Up 2 (and mat). It's a much nicer tent than the one I had before it, feels premium and well thought out, but I'll have to admit my experience with tents is limited (this being the third I ever owned).
>Sleeping pad
Widesea sleeping pad. Not great in terms of insulation, but I sleep warm anyways. Enough cushioning for me to sleep really well on my side. Sadly a bit loud when you turn on it.
>Hygiene products
Not from aliexpress
>Mug
Boundless voyage titanium mug. It's just as good as the ones from western brands, but cheaper. If budget is of concern, get a stainless steel one from a local decathlon instead honestly.
>Stove
Some noname "7000W" gas stove. It's machined well and for 5$ I can't complain. Seems to have the settings of "pretty hot" and "extremely hot" with little inbetween, despite having a stepless knob
