What should i take on a camping trip?
Looking for an experienced hiker/camper to make a checklist for me or a link to a checklist for overnight camping trips. Ive been in the woods a good bit doing day hikes using hydration packs but ive finally bought myself a real hiking back pack and want to do some more serious hikes, 10 – 20 miles over the coarse of a few days. Also, looking for items that a person wouldn’t think of taking on a trip that tends to be very useful. I live in Western Montana and most of the elevations are above 5000ft all the time, Just wanna make sure i’m gonna survive out there when i really go into the wild. Thanks in advance.

I can’t get to my gear list right now as my PDA is caput.. but you
NEED the 10 essentials, and I would include garbage bags
to keep stuff not-wet and to be able to take out trash.
Use your brain…don’t expect somebody from the internet
will be a useful source of info…all I can say is try to think of
ways to keep your gear dry, take enough non-cotton clothes
to cover you, and invest in a killer sleeping bag.
I’m a flat-lander and have hiked/camped alot (for over 40 years) but don’t have experience in your situation.
have any camping experience where you’re located at…
Best way to figure out if your gear works is to “camp out” in your
back-yard…no problems if something screws up, just pack it in
and go to sleep in your bed. If you don’t have a backyard, find a friend
that does…you really need to “try” your gear out before you use it in
the field.
I know this doesn’t answer your original question, but getting a gear list
is easy in this internet age, knowing what to do with it, and how it works with how you camp is another question, and I believe that was
the question you really wanted to ask, and I still haven’t answered it
fully…
