Everything about Iceland captivates me. Its place, isolated in the North Atlantic. Its geography, beautiful and raw. When I see scenic photos of Iceland I feel like I’m looking back in time to an untouched world in its natural state. One such photo recently caught my eye. Taken by Peter Baker, this photo captures a simple Icelandic hill-scape, but also a human element — a small A-frame cabin.

I’ve never been to Iceland (it’s in my top 5 places I want to go) but when I do, I want to be prepared and well-equipped. I want the things I bring with me to to take a back seat to the beauty around me and simply enhance the experience.That’s why I’ve selected a few time-tested, no-frills, well-made items to come along.

Sweater: District Half Button Jumper by Barbour

Barbour, a company with a long history of making solid and reliable clothing that can stand up to the elements, is a natural fit.

Shirt: Dalton Shirt by Barbour

Shoes: Earthkeepers Original Leather 6-inch Boot by Timberland

Timberland = boots. These things are built to take on terrain and get beat up.

Backpack: Little America by Herschel Supply Company

A simple, large volume backpack to hold whatever you need to wonder around the Iceland wilderness for hours.
