Camping and Backpacking Check List


This packing list may be customized (expanded or whittled down) according to you and your trip. Strike a balance between being efficient and being comfortable with your gear. Consider which items will be shared and which are personal. Consider possible weather conditions. Consider how much your backpack weighs when fully loaded. Consider the logistics of getting your gear from your house to your outdoor destination.
