Backpacking need list.

Wow there is a lot to think about when you are going backpacking. It is not like you can jump in your car and buy what you forgot or ask a neighbor for help. If you don't have it, too bad.

Clothing: Be prepared for weather change.
  • Underwear
  • Socks- 2 pair(if one pair gets wet you have a dry pair until the other drys)
  • Hat- for sun
  • Shorts- Lightweight
  • Trekking pants- lightweight
  • Wind or rain shell
  • Long sleeve top
  • Light Jacket
 Backpacking Gear:
  • Tarp or a lightweight backpacking tent
  • Down sleeping bag
  • Internal frame pack
  • Led camping lantern
  • Water bladder
  • Insect repellant
  • Knife
  • Sunscreen
  • Cookware- 1 piece with a lid
  • Utensils
  • Water treatment drops
  • Small camera
  • First aid kit
  • Toiletries
  • Map and compass
  • Pen and paper
  • Food- bulk
  • Internal frame pack.
I found these things from other sources. Be sure you do your homework before you take an adventure far away from civilization.
