About

This site is a list of camping items I've noticed on Aliexpress. Each post gives an item with the cheapest price I could find it, plus a summary of research.

This was originally going to be a list of clone equivalents, but I have found many Chinese brands (e.g. TOAKS, Aegismax, 3F UL GEAR) also provide quality gear.

Here are some sites I find useful when selecting gear for this blog:

• Reddit Ultralight subreddit 

Gear forums 

• Bushwalk Australia Forums
• Equipment

• Backpackinglight Gear Forums
• General Gear

• Trek-lite Forums
• Gear Chat

• Whiteblaze Forums
• General Gear Talk
• Ultra-light Hikers

Non-English language gear forums (google translate)

• Randonner-leger Forums (French - google translate link)
• Lightweight hardware discoveries and tests
• Ultraleicht-Trekking Forums (German - google translate link)
• Equipment

Disclosure: If an item has an affiliate link available I will use it. These links won't cost you more and encourages me to improve the site.
