Trekking Gear Lists
The following is an extended
checklist. It includes all the gear that you are likely to need. Of course if
you were to carry it all your pack would probably way a lot more than you would
prefer. The idea is to select from the list the items that you are most likely
to need and leave the rest at home. This list signifies the importance of having
compact, lightweight gear. The lighter and more compact your equipment, the more
you are able to carry and consequently, the better prepared you will be to
handle any given situation.
Experience is always the best
teacher. Eventually you will refine the lists below to suit your own individual
system.
