Your First Hike Starts Here.
You've thought about hiking. What's stopped you is the fear of packing wrong, looking clueless, or being unprepared out there. We built this so that's one less thing to worry about.
MADE FOR FIRST-TIMERS
Maybe you've already imagined it — you, on a trail, finally doing it. And maybe what's stopped you isn't the hike itself, it's everything before it: the research, the gear list, the fear of forgetting something and feeling like the only one who doesn't know what they're doing.
You don't need to figure it all out alone. We've packed the essentials and the know-how together, so your first step outside can just be... the fun part.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO START
We brought the essentials together so you can spend less time figuring out what to pack and more time looking forward to getting outside.
🎒 PACK — A 25L backpack with a rain cover to carry and protect your essentials.

Less guessing. More getting outside.
Starting something new comes with questions. Here are the answers to the ones we hear most.
Is the Starter Kit suitable if I've never hiked before?
Absolutely. The First Hike Starter Kit was created specifically for beginners. You don't need previous hiking experience or a collection of outdoor gear to get started. It brings together practical essentials and a First Hike Guide to help you feel more prepared for your first day on the trail.
Why buy a Starter Kit instead of buying everything separately?
The Starter Kit saves you the time and guesswork of figuring out what you need. It brings together a 25L backpack, rain cover, First Hike Guide, and basic first-aid kit in one place, so you don't have to research and buy everything separately.
Why do I need more than just a backpack?
For some hikes, a backpack may be all you think you need. The Starter Kit is designed to make the first-time experience easier, not to tell you that you need lots of gear.
The rain cover helps protect your belongings if the weather changes, the First Hike Guide helps you prepare before you go, and the first-aid kit gives you basic supplies for common minor injuries.
We brought these essentials together so you can spend less time wondering what to bring and more time enjoying your first hike.
Is this enough for my first hike?
The kit covers the practical essentials to help you get started, including a 25L backpack, rain cover, basic first-aid kit, and First Hike Guide to help you prepare. You'll still need basics such as suitable footwear, clothing, water, and food depending on your hike.
How much does shipping cost, and how long will my order take to arrive?
Shipping is a flat rate of $7.99 on all orders.
Orders to the US typically arrive within around 7 to 11 business days, depending on location.
Your kit is thoughtfully put together from a few trusted partners we've chosen for quality — so it may arrive in more than one package, sometimes a day or two apart. You'll get tracking for each one, so you always know exactly where your gear is on its way to you.

What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return window from the date your order is delivered. If you change your mind, you can request a return as long as the Starter Kit is unused, complete, and in resalable condition. The first-aid kit must remain sealed and unopened.
Once your return is approved, we'll email you a return shipping label. Return shipping costs are paid by the customer. Once we receive and inspect your return, we'll process your refund to your original payment method.
When we first started hiking, we didn't really know what we were doing.
We learned the hard way—what to bring, what not to bring, and how quickly a simple hike can feel complicated when you're not prepared.
After a few hikes, we realized there had to be a simpler way to get started.
So we created afieldish: to help more people feel prepared, confident, and excited to take their first step outside.
Getting outside shouldn't feel complicated.
