The Ideal Backpacking List
Bottom line, a backpacking list exists for organizational purposes, be the backpacker a pro or not. Professional backpackers pack light, as every pound in their pack affects the overall performance of a trek. Brands may vary, as well as equipment types, but the bottom line is, the lighter the pack, the better. A saying which goes; "When in doubt, don't bring it" comes integral when talking about making a backpacking list, and is pretty much the driving force in making a backpacking list. Here is a sample backpacking list, as suggested from professional backpackers who have walked from the Himalayas to North America's Rocky Mountains. Keep in mind, the lightness of these items should be considered. Backpacking Clothes and Personal Gear Though totally dependent on which trail type one intends to take, the basics of clothing and other personal gear should be listed down in one's backpacking list, which should ideally include shoes/boots, woolen socks, liner socks, nylon shorts and nylon pants, underwear, a hat/cap, wool stocking cap, wool jacket/shirts, and a raincoat. Water bottles, a bandanna, sunscreen, a bowl, cup and spoon, toothbrush and toothpaste, sunglasses, sunscreen, and tampons/sanitary napkins (for the ladies), should also be ideally in the backpacking list. The Sleeping Bag and Other "Big" Gear Types Finding the best sleeping bag involves considering a sleeping bag's warmth, lightness and price bargain. It may be quite difficult to choose, but it is something that has to be done. An earth pad would also be a good idea, though this is totally up to the backpacker. Nylon backpacks are pretty much ideal pack types, as the material they are made of is light, sturdy and waterproof. It wouldn't hurt to bring along three to four large garbage bags too, for those emergency situations, like when one would rip one's pack. These garbage bags are also ideal for dirty clothing storage, as well as "picked up souvenirs". A tent's overall weight, as well as size should be considered when it comes to tents, as well as with light portable stoves. A camera, a watch, and a book would also come in handy, as well as pieces of paper and pencil/pen. These abovementioned items are oftentimes enough for a backpacker to bring, completing the backpacking list. Bottom line, only the essentials should be kept in mind when it comes to making a backpacking list. Their lightness should be closely considered as well. |
