Hiking Packing List

Trying to decide what to bring? This is what we take.

For the optional items it really comes down to personal preference and how much weight you want to carry. There will always be a trade-off between comfort on the trail and comfort at camp.

For clothing we typically try to take one pair of hiking clothes and one pair of dry and warm clothes for night time (and a fresh pair/s of undies!).
