About Me

I’m Jason Campbell — solo backpacker, writer, and creator of The Backpacker’s Ten.

 

For years I’ve tested myself against the wilderness, learning that every mile teaches something new: patience, preparation, and respect for the unknown. Out there, self-reliance isn’t a mindset — it’s survival.

​

This site is where I share what the trail has taught me. Real lessons from real experiences. Gear that holds up. Strategies that make a difference when things go wrong. Whether you’re planning your first overnight or refining your backcountry system, my goal is to help you move smarter, lighter, and more confidently through the wild.

​

The wilderness has a way of stripping away noise until only truth remains. That’s where I find clarity — and where I hope you’ll find yours.
