Backpacking Trip - Personal Gear - Packing Checklist
SPECIAL NOTES
- If you don't need it, don't bring it!
- Everyone must carry their share of the patrol's equipment and food, so leave enough room inside your pack to carry it.
- You have to carry everything you bring and you will notice how heavy it is after a few kilometers of walking.
- Please bring all of the gear you intend to bring on the backpack to the equipment check. Leaders will be available to help fit and adjust backpacks on that evening.
