I’m not an Outdoors Person, but having the right gear has helped me actually enjoy nature.

Tomorrow I’m heading to one of my favorite places in the US: Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island in Maine. This will be the third year in a row that my girlfriend and I have taken athere, and I’m feeling like a seasoned pro at this point—I think I have a pretty strong handle on what it takes to thrive both in the park and when tooling around the tiny, lovely town of Bar Harbor, where we stay.
I want to be clear: I am not an Outdoors Person. I’m not looking to camp and I prefer a sensible walk in nature to a hardcore hike, and I don’t think anyone, by any stretch of the imagination, would describe me as “crunchy.” That said, a few years ago I realized that being outside regularly is extremely good for my mental health, and this—coupled with the work of—is how visiting a national park ended up on my bucket list.
If you, too, are planning a fall jaunt to Acadia and are wondering what to bring with you, allow me to share a few highlights from my annual packing list. These are the items I return to every year, and that have served me well both in Maine and as a casual nature-appreciator at home in Brooklyn.
By the way, these come in a few other colors, including black, brown, and a rusty red, but don’t be afraid of the cream! I’ve gotten mine very wet and muddy, and have had no problem getting them clean again via a normal laundry cycle.
