Everyone packs differently. We did not carry a stove or cooking equipment where for some others that is a necessity. Our packing list is below.
- Hiking pack (obviously)
- Lightweight sleeping bag
- Sleeping mat
- We shared a tiny lightweight freestanding tent.
- Basic first aid kit, minimal toiletries, a head torch, and some toilet paper.
- Rain jacket, a lightweight puffer jacket, a spare shirt, spare pants, and spare undergarments.
- Camera, Kindles and two power banks to charge our phones.
- Everything else was on our bodies: cap, t-shirt, pants, hiking boots.
- We didn’t buy hiking poles (didn’t think we’d need them) or a GPS device (we wish we had one).
- Instead we downloaded a free app called Gaia GPS on our phones.
- 4-5 liters of water a day.
- Food – usually for up to 3 days worth, on some occasions we had to stock up for 5-6 days.
